I smoked Captain Black Regular (white package), Captain Black Gold (gold package) and Captain Black Royal (dark blue package). The other two versions that I didn’t smoke are Captain Black Light (light blue package) and Captain Black Cherry (red package). You usually find Captain Black at various chain stores that sell pipe tobacco such as CVS Drug Stores, Walmart and other chains.
I had quite a few relights trying to smoke this stuff. However I received the least amount of tongue bite smoking this out of these three tobaccos. The cherry flavor was not as offensive as the pouch aroma promised, peterson pipes and it melded well with the general Captain Black profile of spiced rum and vanilla. My suspicion is that they soak some light cavendish in cherry goop and mix that with Captain Black Original to produce this blend.
Captain Black Gold is an excellent option for a nice, plain old smoke. Its simplicity and room note make this a classic standby for everyday smoke. This tobacco blend is a favorite of many pipe smokers due to its unique, complex flavor.
The recipe is perfect and the taste is ubiquitously classic. Captain Black can be smoked in any pipe you enjoy using. However, it is the advice of our experts that if you smoke different types of tobacco with different flavors, you may want to consider dedicating a pipe to each one. Some resins from certain pipe tobaccos can seep inside the wood and affect the tobacco taste.

BURN EXPERIENCEThis is the true downfall of the Captain Black Blends. However I’ve not had a bowl yet of any of these tobaccos without having to nurse a burnt tongue for a day or two. On top of that both the Original and Red required numerous relights to coax the fire along.
A little over six years after the opening of that first retail outlet, Smoker’s Outlet Online was born. I’m just saying that I floated away to happy land with a $9.95 pipe and a drug store tobacco.
