Lane Limited Captain Black Supreme

This is awfull, and I'm someone that actually kind of likes the captain black series, even the cherry one, but this one is just gross, it kind of tastes like cinnamon, but in a bad revolting kind of way, overwhelming sugary bad taste, did'nt even care about the room note, because I was just to horrified with the taste of this stuff. Why would CP come up with something this bad instead of something new that's actually good? who knows, anyway, try any of the other CP's and you'll probably like them , specailly if you're starting as a pipe smoker, but let this one not be the first tobacco you try, you'll quit in a second. and I wouldn't blame you.

Just about the same as my other CB reviews but just a bit strange not quite a great experience and besides being dryer than most of the other CB I see nothing better in it than any other CB. I not thrilling I say go with CB original if you are going to go with CB at all.

Ok Update: Oh my ^%&^* this is chemical death my word the initial light is like agent orrange. Couldnt do more than 10 puffs tossed it out. Dont waste your time or money

I guess I inherited a very old pouch.

The cut was different from the other Captain Black. This tobacco smelled like a cheap cigar and tasted as such...

AS the above reviewer noted, the red pouch referred to here (as confirmed by the listing of tobaccos in the blend) is the Supreme.

Basically, a bland burley. Maybe a bit of something else would have saved this one, but I have to say there's nothing 'Supreme' about it.

Stick with White, or Blue. You'll get a lot more enjoyable smoke - IMHO.

Sorry Captain, I think you missed the boat with this one.

Alot of the reveiwers mistakend this for Capt. Black Cherry which is a newer blend. This particular blend is called Capt. Black Supreme. It's a bland weak burley with a nice aroma.

I'm a big fan of Captain Black - white. That being said, this stuff is horrible. The smell reminds me of cherry scented urinal cakes. The taste...well it tastes like they took "the cap't white" and coated it with the same urinal cake (all though that may be an assumption on my part -not ever tasting urinal cakes and all).

If you?re a fan of CHERRY you might like this stuff. I guess I'm just not a fan. The sad thing is I bought a package of the stuff, and I'm too cheap to throw it away. Any suggestions on what else to do with it?.. maybe fertilizer ?

I may need to eat some crow. Yesterday out of pure boredom. I RE-TRIED "Cap't Cherry". I thought I threw it away but found it in the bottom of my tobacco stash. It was very dried out,so dry I wondered if it was still any good. I thought what the heck. I packed my corn cob and away I went. It was tough to pack for some reason. There was a slight, very slight smell of cherry. Once lit I never had to strike another match, it burned well. I hate to admit it but I actually enjoyed the smoke. I'm still not a fan of cherry tobaccos but I will finish my pouch. I don't think I'll ever buy another pouch---but it was good. If you like cherrys buy Cap't red and let it dry out for at least a month and you'll have a fair smoke.

Normally I don't care for cherry tobacco or cavendish blends like this, but having a few fond memories of the original Captain Black, combined with the fact that I haven't smoked any CB in a while and I saw a somewhat favorable review in P&T, I gave in to the temptation to drop $5 and give this a try.

First of all, I'm not entirely sure if Captain Black Cherry is the same as Captain Black Red. The name on my pouch says "Captain Black Cherry" and the description says "cavendish blend with a rich cherry flavor. exceptionally mild, delightfully aromatic." I'm pretty sure I've seen a red pouch of captain black somewhere that didn't say "cherry" on it which had a description like the one above ("A rich blend of Burley tobaccos. Smooth smoking, delightfully aromatic and zesty.") Either they changed the packaging or someone has this confused.

Anyway, to me this stuff smells and tastes like someone took a few pounds of burley and virginia with a little black cavendish thrown in and then dumped a bottle of cherry-flavored tylenol liquid into it. Someone said there was some vanilla in here too, but either I don't taste it or perhaps the vanilla is whats making the cherry seem so medicine-like. Aside from that its just another relatively mild aromatic with the characteristics that you'd expect.

I smoked a few bowls in corn cobbs and one in an old Dr Grabow so I wouldn't pollute my good pipes with this stuff.

If you want to try this, I recommend spending the $5 on a bottle of cherry tylenol instead. That way you'll get pretty much the same flavor and its more likely to cure any pain you might have rather than aggrevate it.

Like all the Captain Black vanillas except with cherry added.

Too much vanilla and too much cherry for me.

Ala malt in a pipe.
