Turkish tobacco that is first sun-cured then fire-cured, leading to a very smoky flavor and aroma. Bringing Captain Black into the modern age meant refreshing the brand’s outdated iconography. This included reimagining his old wooden sailing ship as a sleek and speedy new schooner that would enable Captain Black to make his many journeys with ease.

In the last week I have smoked three different versions of Captain Black in Corn Cob Pipes and in a Savinelli Venezia and an Aldo Velani Volcano. Smoke it slow and the flavor is delicious and it is mellow enough to exhale through your nose for even more flavor. It is a delicious smoke with undertones of vanilla, chocolate and nuts. It is easy to pack and smoke with a pleasing room note, good burley flavor and a consistent quality.
With a huge variety of cuts and blends available, it’s enough to confuse even an experienced pipe smoker. But we develop more pipe tobacco than anyone, and that makes us better suited to help you learn and appreciate the sophisticated nuances of pipe tobacco than anyone else. This tobacco blend is a favorite of many pipe smokers due to its unique, complex flavor. The taste is a rich mixture of traditional matured, broad-cut Burleys, bright Virginia and toasted Black Cavendish tobaccos. Captain Black is a brand of aromatic pipe tobaccos produced in the United States by Lane Limited, part of the Scandinavian Tobacco Group.
The standard curve over the range of 0 to 30 µg/ml was linear. Intra- and inter-day variations were assessed at 10, 20 and 30 µg/ml. The coefficients of variation were between 1.9% and 4.3%. BURN EXPERIENCEThis is the true downfall of the Captain Black Blends.
Among the imported brands, cigarette “pine” contained the lowest amounts of nicotine and cigarette “Winston” contained the highest amounts of nicotine (14.40 mg). The percentage of nicotine in these imported brands was different. Statistical analysis showed that in imported brands, there was a significant difference in the amounts and percentage of nicotine between the cigarettes randomly chosen from four different packs of each brands. 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. This tastes like the cherry lip gloss my older sister would buy and I would try to eat like candy. After a few puffs a faint vanilla joins the cherry.
