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.
Captain Black Royal is a good middle ground between peterson pipes the two other versions. Captain Black Gold is great for when you are in the mood for a sweet VA, but watch the bite, smoke slow. Captain Black Regular (White) is great when you want a sweet black Cavendish that doesn’t bite, and Captain Black Royal is slightly toned-down on the sweetness, great for smoking all day. In the photo and descriptions above, you can see a side by side comparison of the different tobaccos that make up each blend, how they look and taste different.

For this blend only, Golden Cavendish tobaccos are used and are reflected in the bright gold color. In general, the more flavorful but still mild tobaccos have been used. A nuanced combination of Virginia and Burley tobaccos that delivers a uniquely decadent smoking experience. This stuff burned effortlessly, a little too effortlessly. It burned my tongue fiercly despite all my efforts to smoke slow, cool, and dry.
It’s really hard to find anything bad to say about Captain Black Regular. Many “drug store” tobaccos and aromatic tobaccos get panned by reviewers as being too sweet, artificial tasting, tongue-biting, hot burning, tasteless disasters. Captain Black has that pipe tobacco smell that instantly brings you back to simpler times.
With pressed cuts, the tobacco is placed under extreme pressure and specific heat for extended periods. From this process, the tobacco emerges compressed in cakes or rolls. This process doubles as a slight fermentation, giving the tobacco a fuller, rounder taste that typically receives little or no top flavor. The thickest cut of pipe tobacco, Broad Cut is roughly twice as wide as Loose Cut.
Nearly all pipe tobaccos have some degree of flavoring added, from rum to peach and anything in between. Aromatic Taste describes the extent to which the taste of the flavorings are apparent while smoking. Of these three I am most likely to smoke the Original more than the other two, as the mix of warm, comforting flavors and some real tobacco flavor. I think the Gold is technically superior, but it’s lemony-vanilla taste is so close lemony Virginias like MacBaren VA No 1 that I’d be more likely to reach for the latter. The Cherry was not for me, but as my first cherry it was good enough that I’m intrigued to try other, hopefully more forgiving blends in that direction.
Captain Black Original certainly provides the sociable portion of the pipe smoking experience, emitting a warm tobacco and vanilla smell. If you buy a pipe tobacco aroma candle, you would want it to smell like this humble white pouch. No other tobacco category is as diverse as pipe tobacco.
Touching it leaves a slightly sticky residue on you. The pouches are the standard fold style with a bit of adhesive tab that lets you reclose the pouch quite a few times before it begins to fail. The added humectant means you can keep this out for several weeks before you need to be concerned about this drying out excessively.
