Very well-behaved aromatic. No goo or goop. One light and go. Pleasant aroma in the bag translates to a pleasant smoking experience - good Cavendish tobacco flavor predominates, with a background vanilla bean flavor. Cavendish flavor becomes more intense as you work through the bowl - never objectionable. An easy all-day smoke for the aromatic Cavendish fan.

This came in a boxed set with 3 other Tinderbox aromatics I bought in 2004. While I'm not a big fan of aromatics, I still enjoy this one once in awhile. A nice vanilla, a little sweet and very forgiving to wild puffing, though I too have noticed a bite if it gets too hot. I still have 1/4 of that 2oz pouch I got back in 04, sitting in a plastic tub on my cellar shelf and while it still hasn't dried out, it is a bit less sticky than when new but it still tastes the same. It's a fun, pleasureable smoke and I get good reviews on the room note when I smoke it around the wife and daughter.

There is a tinderbox right down the street from my house. It is actually my primary tobacco and pipe store. I received two ounces of captain spice with a purchase of a pipe. This tobacco dominated the smell of every other aromatic that I had in the bag. It smells very sweet, mostly a strong vanilla smell. It was a very smooth smoke and did tend to get a little hot at times. It nipped at my tongue a bit. Due to this I rate this tobacco three stars instead of four. The taste is very nice. Smooth vanilla and it fills up the room.

When I first started smoking a pipe I started by buying a sample of every bulk tobacco they had. After smoking my way through a number of them I found myself coming back to Captain Spice. it had enough tobacco taste with just a touch of vanilla. It packed, lit, and maintained well with my noobish skill. It was what I smoked while all the other samples sat in the drawer.
I have moved on a bit now. I prefer full english blends and non-aro's for the most part. I still keep a few onces of this just because it is such an easy smoke. I do have to say now that my tastes have changed the vanilla taste is more pronounced but I am not complaining. All I can say I enjoy this stuff. If you are looking to try an aro or are looking to break ground into less flavored tobacco give this one a try. For the price it is worth taking the chance.
Enjoy!
