This was a pleasant surprise. A fellow pip smoker at work smokes this and nothing but. He always tells me I waste my money on the tobacco I smoke when there is Captain Black Gold to be had. I have tried the good Captain's "White" blend in the past, and really wish I hadnt. But the Gold wasnt that bad. First off though, its not really that cheap, I paid 5 bucks for a pouch...not cool. But on further inspection, I liked the way the leaf looked as opposed to the gutter sludge that CBW resembles. Light ribbons with some dark here and there. The smell was better than the CBW as it wasnt as strong in the chemical dept. But while CBW took to flame like a dream, Gold starts off great, and then goes out without warning, like a ghost in the night...oh well. The taste is pretty good, and again just a slightly tuned down version of the CBW flavor.But ZERO tounge bite!!!!...Toward the end of the smoke the flavor change to a more naked tobacco taste as the topping fades away. and now for the kicker...I actually detected nicotine!!!...which blew my mind from reading opposite impressions from the other reviews, and from smoking CBW, which had none. well there you have it gents...a not so in-expensive good tasting cavendish....there is better out there...and there is worse...enjoy!!!

If you step up to the counter at your local drug store and they are all out of CBW the sure go with the gold. Not my favorite b/c of the somewhat chemical tasting flavoring. After a few weeks becomes harsh and sour toward the bottom of the bowl. Other than CB White I would not waste my money (for other than nostalgic or sentimental reasons) on this particular brand.

I would recommend this tobacco for breaking in a new pipe. It has a nice smell and an okay taste. This is my favorite out of the Captain Black smokes.

I mean, it's Captain Black. C'mon, who hasn't tried at least one of their blends?
Anyways, my experience was w/ my roommate who told me to smoke w/ him because our apartment smelled like butt... so my review may be a bit sketchy mainly because i have no idea how long he's had the bag lying around and because i wasn't really paying attention when i was smoking it.
The pouch aroma is that of vanilla to me (seems to be a popular aromatic scent regardless of flavor descriptions). Packed nicely, lit and burned evenly and produced plenty of thick smoke. The taste is nothing special, if i remember correctly. Just your basic aromatic blend w/ a cheap leaf. I think it tastes good, but again nothing amazing. The room note is particularly pleasant, but other than that there's not much to recommend about this brand.
I will say, however, i will keep some CB on hand as i will randomly have cravings for a heavily cased cavendish that has been around for some time and that has been a mainstay for at least 70% of smokers out there, new to experienced in my opinion. This and BCA will satiate my random, heavy cavendish cravings.

For the first timer this smoke is great.I smoke it sometimes and this tobacco is what I call the in between smoke.A cross from the white pouch and blue.I will not go on and on to much about this smoke exept to say it is not bad at all for the price.Do Not Puff Hot! that's all I gotta say about that. (First timers go for it Capt.Black Gold is not half bad)...

I haven't smoked this one in over a decade, but I remember it as quite the crowd pleaser. Less aromatic than Blue, and not as fruity as White, Captain Black Gold is a good beginners' tobacco.
Mild, subtle, and extremely polite (I can hardly see anyone upset by its room note), this semi-chocolate/vanilla blend should be smoked very slowly, as it does have a tendency to bite, and if over puffed it burns hot.
There is a certain resemblance with Gold Block, but whereas that British blend has most certainly a Virginian base, CPG is basically a burely-cavendish, very mellow and monochromatic. Still, if thinking of taking up pipe smoking, this one is a good tobacco to start with.

A good taste / perfect smell aromatic for the beginner. Nice cut, good pack and a decent burn. I believe that CaptainBlack Royal is much better, but hard to find. Nevertheless, there are much better aromatics out there..
What i did once and made it great was the addition of a pinch of cigar leaf (partagas)!

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!

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.
