Rich Black Cavendish and mellowed Burleys, in a fine mix of Virginias. Original is exceptionally peterson pipes mild and delightfully aromatic. Soft vanilla, fruity, salt, with a light vinegar.
Try these incredibly flavorful mixtures like the subtly sweet Captain Black Royal or Gold, the delightfully fruity Captain Black Cherry, that will please everyone in the room with their enticing aromas. The original aromatic blend, Captain Black is well worth putting in your pipe and smoking, especially at the low everyday prices you’ll get here at Pipes and Cigars. STG’s business in cigars and pipe tobacco has grown consistently, and the vision is to continue growth based on strong brands and committed employees. In 2011, Lane Limited was acquired by Scandinavian Tobacco Group. Scandinavian Tobacco Group Lane Ltd. now manufactures and sells a variety of cigars, pipe tobacco, and fine-cut tobacco for the US market.
I did have Seven Seas Original years ago and my general tasting notes are fairly similar but I can note that the mechanics of the MacBaren version was vastly superior. Captain Black Gold smells like cigarettes which you tried chacom tobacco pipes to cover up with dollar store vanilla body spray. TIN AROMACaptain Black Original has a rich and inviting aroma of vanilla, raisins, and milk chocolate. Pipes and Cigars does not sell products to anyone under the age of 21.
All flavored tobacco and cigars are now banned in Massachusetts.

Again, please direct all complaints to Governor Charlie Baker’s administration. We do NOT sell tobacco or tobacco-related products to anyone under 18 years of age.
After a few puffs a faint vanilla joins the cherry. Sugar water with a cherry flavored cough drop stirred in. More vanilla, a touch of cinnamon-raisin. About the halfway point the cherry flavor has faded to just a tickle, but it’s very sweet now. 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.
For a tobacco so ubiquitous, so marketed to the novice pipe smoker, Captain Black tobaccos are incredibly challenging to smoke. They come from a time where pipe smoking was far more prevalent so there would always be someone around to show a new smoker the ropes. They also came from a time where manual transmission was not just called standard but was the standard, when taxes were done by hand, and we were plotting our way to the stars with slide rules. These three Captain Black offerings, the Original, Gold, and Cherry all have lovely flavor but are primed to give a smoker, lubber or rated able, a fair challenge to smoke without numerous relights and a burnt tongue. America’s number one selling pipe tobacco brand in the United States has a blend for everyone. The delightfully flavorful Gold of this Golden Cavendish blend has a balanced body with a mellow taste.
