Lane Limited Captain Black Gold

It's okay. Too confectioned in my opinion. Doesn't compare to Milan's aromatics. This is a quick tobacco so if you like a long smoke, get a McArthur corn cob!

Well, just checking out the local variety which amounts to about 8 to 10. We have no tobacconist in our area, so you have to know what's available local for when you run out of good stuff. This is one of the best I've had from a supermarket/variety.

The wife likes the room note, although some others are better. It didn't seem to have much flavoring at all, very natural gold cavendish. Nice cut and one that I would run out and buy again sometime while waiting on an order from justforhim.com

Of the Captain Black line-up, I thing this is the mildest and less sweetened blend. Not bad, quite enjoyable, VERY mild Virginia with a noticeable vanilla topping. Good if you want a mild, sweet smoke with a good room note.

I might get a pouch every now and then just for the sake of variety, but at 8 bucks a pouch I can find better out there.

I've been sitting on a pouch of this for about 2 years. I had it in an air tight container, but I'm not so sure about the quality of the container. On opening the pouch, it still had a pleasant scent, not overpowering, just pleasant. I loaded up a bowl in my everyday pipe, and this pipes' seen more action than a hooker on payday. Anyway, the first thing I noticed was that it burned hot. I was taking baby drags off this thing, and the tongue bite was terrible. I still prefer the Royal Blue to this one. Is there anything I can mix with this to cool it off a bit? I liked the room note on this, but my tongue won't handle this as is.

A string of long, thin cut golden bakkie, with a pleasant aroma.

A bit less cased than Captain Black Blue, and White, and significantly less pronounced on the nicotine and strength side; this is a very, very mild tobacco.

Perfect for the beginner; as a matter of fact, strongly recommended for a beginner.

Very mild with no bite, and not much of anything else either. Bland is the only way I can describe this blend, slightly sweet but any flavor beyond the generally sweet undertone is not discernable to this reviewer. Nothing otherwise objectionable just an absence of flavor, a disappointment.

I found a pouch of this I had forgotten about in one of my cases of pipe and tobacco accessories. It was atleast two years old and opened only once. I filled one of my Oom-Pauls up and fired away. What followed was a somewhat enjoyable hour. The tobacco still tasted fresh with nary a bite. It was the typical Capt. Black experience. Not bad, but I've enjoyed much better. I anxiously got back to enjoying an English blend after smoking the Captain.

I smoked a lot of cans of this puppy in my younger daze(sic). The only Captain Black I ever liked, Gold smells great, never bites and is a decent drugstore aromatic.

But alas, tastes change. I'd recommend this to a newer pipe smoker. CB Gold is probably too pedestrian for most veteran smokers.

I've just started to smoke pipe tobacco, a switch from cigars. I found this to be a very easy tobacco as a begginer to use. It lights well and the smoke is cool, mild, easy on the palate. Plus its widely available where i live as I have no tobaccanist near where I live. It is leagues ahead of borkum riff in my tastes or the other drug store brands. In addition the room note is ofter commented on whether they smoke or not, there aren't too many cigarette smokers who can say the same about their brand of smell.
