I’m just saying that I floated away to happy land with a $9.95 pipe and a drug store tobacco. I first tried the original version, Captain Black Regular. The pipe smoking community and many online stores refer to it as “Captain Black White” because of the white packaging.
It has a sweet vanilla flavor that isn’t overpowering and resembles a roasted marshmallow. Its undertones of vanilla, chocolate, and nuts make this a perfect slow smoke that you can exhale out your nose for enhanced flavor. Experience its pleasant room note and consistent burley flavor with a seven-ounce tin, one-and-a-half-ounce tin, or a pack of five one-and-a-half-ounce tins.

It is a straight golden Virginia Cavendish with a light and smooth aroma and sweet and pleasant taste that is never overwhelming.

The new company, which has about 9,500 employees, carries the name Scandinavian Tobacco Group in recognition of its Scandinavian heritage and ownership. Unlike other aromatic tobaccos, Captain Black stays lit … for a long time. I have to admit, I am not going to win a slow smoking contest anytime soon. I usually have to re-light about 4 – 6 times, sometimes more when I smoke a pipe. I re-lit Captain Black 3 times, and the first time was after it was half gone, about 25 minutes into it.
There’s also a light vinegar and salt, bringing this somewhat close to Captain Black Original. A return of cherry lip gloss joins in with sugary-vanilla-salt-lemon-vinegar.

A creamy, smooth, and always fulfilling smoke has been the joy of every pipe smoker who has embraced Captain Black Regular (White). Despite its premium price point, Captain Black has a loyal following of fans who swear by its smooth and flavorful blends.

This makes it one of the most widely recognized and respected pipe tobacco brands in the world. Although the original Captain Black blend is the most popular, the brand actually offers a wide range of different blends to suit different tastes. These include Captain Black Gold, Captain Black Dark, Captain Black Cherry, and many others. The first time I smoked Captain Black Gold, I was drinking a Cabernet Sauvignon and it just didn’t work. I thought I didn’t like the Gold, but on my second try with just a glass of water, I enjoyed it much more. There are lots of sugars in this, and it can bite you if you push it too hard, but it is still a nice sweet Virginia.
