Lane Limited Captain Black Gold

My favorite pipe tobacco of all time !!! I loved the smell of it as a kid, and I love looking at it and smoking it now. It is the most consistent pipe tobacco I know of in terms of all aspects you may think of.

The color is uniformly a beautiful bright yellow gold all through. The cut is so perfect, it is a beautiful medium ribbon cut with nice fairly long elegant lacy strands, and I never ever find even the smallest or thinnest stem in this premium blend. Wow !!! I can stare and marvel at this beautifully perfect tobacco for minutes. And it's moisture is just right.

The smell is perfect right out of the pouch. It is not too much, nor not too little. Just right ! The aroma is bright, modestly sweet, perfectly perfumed with some warm yet uplifting and energizing mellow honeyfruit, all welcoming and embracing.

Lighting is amazing. It is instant and even intuitive in a sense, like driving a BMW. I never light more than twice, I usually light just a little bit once and it quickly just takes off. Wow !

The smoke smells perfectly marvelous and is nice and thick white. It smells modestly sweet, mellow, fruity, and golden all in one. The taste is superb...perfect. I get this instant stimulation and energization in my mouth right when I light this stuff. It is like this pleasant widespread vibration...somewhat of a tingle. Never any tongue bite or heat. The more I puff, the better it gets, the more the body builds up into this nice thick creamy white mellow smoke, and the more I can taste. There is so much potential in this blend. There is this widespread fullness of an everpleasing and ever so present and well centralized taste of modestly sweet and just enough fruity and honey oaty gold tobacco, the great core and ever emanating essence of this great blend. Furthermore, you can actually pick up more and more complexity too. I can do whatever I want with this blend, I can sip on it and it will stay lit forever, or I can smoke it like an intake system of an F1 car and get a nice big plume of super full bodied delicious mellow sweet golden tobacco goodness. Surprisingly, this blend never gets hot, nasty, sour, or bitey.

Captain Black Gold is the best and most dynamic pipe tobacco ever !!!

The pouch aroma is that of sweet tobacco. The tobacco comes in need of a little moisture for my taste. But you can smoke it right out of the pouch if you like a dry smoke. It lights easily and the smoke is reasonably thick. The taste is that of a Summer day. That is, it is mellow and slightly sweet at the first. As the smoke continues, it does get a little more grass like. The room aroma is nice, but it is often more tolerated than adored. If puffed too hard, it will bite. If you know how to enjoy aromatics you already know how to smoke this stuff. The flavor stays the same until the smoke ends and there is no bitterness. This is a very simple smoke for the average man. By the way, I can see how this may plaay a part in Captain Black Royal or even 1Q.

Ah it smells good. A really enjoyable smoke with a fair price. The most pleasant feature of this tobacco is its room note. I like its taste too.

I'm giving this for four stars because it is(to me) unaguably the best of the Capt Black line. It's sweetly complex with little tongue bite. It has at least three flavour notes to it, the natural golden cavendish taste followed by a sweetness that builds, that follows a lightly earthy taste. If you are a Capt Black fan and haven't tried it turn off your computer and go get some right now. It's the only Capt Black I stock up on. All other CB tobaccos are pretty good to great but this one they did their research on. For the money there may not be a better bag out their. It tastes like a high end blend for a low end price. Since it's mild nicotine wise a newbie will not regret trying it. Good job guys on this one.

Captain Black Gold is a very good tobacco. It has a great roomnote and it smokes very cool. It is a great mixer as well and I will always have a pouch of this in my stock...ENJOY! MZMN 6-27-05

This is nice tobacco but really this is another things that this company made 20 year ago I can very good remember my friend smoke it and smell really same like somebody cooking vanilla chocolate Really so nice vanilla smell, Who knows what happen please? Many friend tell me maybe this is not original tobacco Any way I really like Captain black tobacco 🙂

I bought the bulk blend of the Cup O Joes, 16 oz of Captain Black Gold, so don't think this is the same as the tin or pack of CBG from stores. However the blend from Cup O Joes is super, very mild, ribbon cut, pleasant aroma, very litle bite, hardly any moisture residue. Right now it is my favorite smoking tobacco as i can smoke it all day without tiring of it. Slight nutty taste.

My Captain Black Gold came in a very fine ribbon cut. I love the look of it. It reminds me of the old fashioned paper easter grass, the really fine cut kind that hangs together when you take it out. This blend's taste is comparable to W. O. Larsen Old Fashioned (possibly better) and is cheaper by the ounce. It tastes as creamy as it smells, without being goopy or wet. Kind of a Chocholate and vanilla base. Beautiful. One of the best aromatics anyone could buy. I recomend buying the tin, not the pouch.

a lot of people dont like this blend. i love it it was my first blend and honestly at like 6 bucks it isnt too bad. easy to get lit and this is one that is good for just raking leaves or doing yard work. for what it is it is good but there is always a better blend
