Lane Limited Captain Black Dark

Not exactly BCA in a pouch but very close. I think the Captain Black Dark has a bit more humectant than does BCA. The flavor is singular and rich. The room note is excellent. Benefits from a little drying time.

The taste I get is licorice. It's very pleasant. As with many aromatics, the bite depends on how you puff and how long you let it dry before you smoke it. Good burn qualities, lights easy and stays lit a good while. It causes my mouth to water, which may contribute to some slight gurgling. The room note is inoffensive. Is it as good as CB Regular? I think it will be fair to say after I've smoked as many pouches of this as the Regular. But it's a contender. For me it's definitely better than the Premium Editions.

For those that think this is BCA packaged and sold under a new name, you would be wrong. They are both black aromatics and both made by Lane Limited, but Captain Black Dark lacks the sweetness of BCA. Both have great room aroma, but the wife says that she definitely prefers BCA over the dark. I prefer the dark, but not by much. Out of all the pouches this one is the best I have smoked. It lights well and burns a little fast, but the flavor lasts all the way to the bottom of the bowl. The smoke is nice, but not thick. There is no bite for those that know how to smoke aromatics; slow and steady is the ticket here. If you want a great black aromatic that won't break the bank, this is the best of the Captain Black line. But like I have said in other reviews, you cannot find this in a drugstore any more and I really doubt that people will order this online with all the other selections at their finger tips. I say pick up a pouch of this stuff which would have taken the drugstore tobaccos by storm if they were still there. It just came along a little late in the game. I hope it can find a place and stay around.

I just love it, I reminds me of sweet briar tobacco, It also reminds me of BCA.Great moisture no bite what so ever great vanilla room note smell taste Reminds me of one q reminds me of captain black great black cavendish I love it!

This is good. This is really good. This baccy is so rich and the smoke so thick, it is a delight to smoke. The tin note is great, with a hint of vanilla, and the aroma is fabulous (though I really don't get the vanilla in the aroma).

This ain't an OTC, though. First, I never see it in a Walgreen or such though I get around a lot, and second, it is an exceptional black cav -- fully up there with PS #7 Dansk Black and Lane's BCA. That is, even if you find this in a Target or whatever, don't be deceived; this is damn good stuff. Note that Lane makes CB Dark, so the similarity to BCA is striking, but somehow not quite identical. But close, friends, close. I can smoke this anytime, anywhere. For after dinner, though, something heartier with a stronger tobacco taste might be called for. While I don't really get tired of CBD, I do hanker for stronger tobacco taste after a while. Though an aromatic, any toppings are refined, not too forward.

A 1-year tin or jar nap would do wonders for this blend.

I would rate this about a 3.5-3.7. I get a good tobacco taste, though much more tobacco flavor would be appreciated. In fact, more tobacco flavor would make it a solid 4 for this country boy. As you can tell, I do like black cav. And I get no tongue bite from it, but see the tip below.

TIP: dry out your CBD for at least a 1/2 hour before packing, which will cut down on dottle and PG.

In the world of Captain Black tobacco's this and royal are the best IMO. This all black blend is just what was needed to round out the series. This is Lane BCA packaged instead of bulk. I have them side by side and aside from some added PG for transportation and storage have the same texture, appearance, aroma etc. Its a wonderful change of pace from the other CB offerings and I just love the packaging!! Keep up the good work Lane in keeping up with customers requests and modern times. Thanks!

O BTW try blending 50/50 with CB Gold or a burley like Carter Hall for a black and tan / Half and Half or mix 1/4 to a stinky latakia blend so you can smoke in the house or in public and not get complaints, the aroma is that wonderful!

Well thought I'd but 2 pouches to try on advice while looking for a good Vanilla blend, well on opening the pouch you get that typical Vanilla smell with the sweetness, as I didn't know it was a 100% Cavendish and so Black it says Dark on the pouch but it's as black as coal so I let it dry out for around 15 mins then pack my Meer, goes out to my shed to enjoy lights her up and wow I really like this from the first few puffs, the taste I get is toffee and vanilla sweet but not over bearingly so but hay we all different views in different blends and this is going straight into my rotation of aromatic blends loved it from the off. Just go grab yourselfs a few pouches and enjoy.

Really good! I'm a big fan and couldn't wait to order another pouch. Next time I'll get a 12 oz can.

Aromatics aren't my go-to tobaccos, but when I have company or my wife is around, I want something pleasant for others. This is the right choice!

It's sweet, and the pouch smells like a cross between chocolate and raisins. Like other Captain Black products, this burns to the bottom perfectly, doesn't bite, and the vanilla room note will turn heads.

This one will be in my rotation long after other aromatics are smoked and gone.
