Buy it! I think it is a vast improvement over the regular Captain Black White. It has a really creamy smoke that tastes strongly (doesn't seem like a light aro to me, more full flavored) of chocolate and marshmellows. I immediatley loved the flavor at first light, it seemed to lessen a bit throughout the smoke but it was really enjoyable, it seems to have very little bite (even a little wet right out of the pouch) and it does have a nicotine hit, so I am guessing it is around medium strength. It burns down absolutely perfectly, it truely was a one light only smoke, very rare. I mostly smoke Full Virginia Flake, Penzance, Orlik Golden Sliced, Golden Glow, and various aromatics. This will definitely make it into my lineup some where, I just regret only buying one pouch from SmokingPipes.com, it was under $3 for 1.5oz! I ran out of pipecleaners and thought, might as well, since I had to buy those anyways and I wasn't about to settle for Dill's cleaners at the local shop (talk about very thin wires with nothing on e'm). So at half price, check it out, I quite like it :)
On second thought, it is a lot like Lane's 1-Q, I think it's significantly better, but the flavor and smell are very simular, it definitely seems stronger though in flavor, smell, and nicotine.

So... It's like 1Q and Penzance had a baby.
And as we all know, mixed couples have a reputation for having the most beautiful babies... lol

That sounds like good news. I jumped on the special price bandwagon for the Dark as well and am anxiously awaiting shipment to arrive....

LOL, Spartan! It's just Black Cavendish with flavoring added. I don't see how an English would relate...

Got a bag in a promo offer thing a few months ago (might have been linked here or Johnnyxpipe sent it to me) to pick out a free bag of Captain Black, Top, Sail, etc. I chose the dark and was surprised in comparison with what I've had from them. Definitely creamy, and I can see where you pick up chocolate. I'm not sure if I was tasting marshmallows or Vanilla myself. In my early early days of the hobby all I knew was Captain Black White, it had became the entire pipe smoking hobby for me itself in a sense. The dark is a very cost effective way to get a smooth sweet smoke at a nice price and if all you have to choose from is Admiral Tobacco!

I am a bit nervous to try captain black, as I have been told it gunks up your pipe too much. Would you mind telling me after a few smokes how much it gunks it up? How often does one have to clean a pipe if smoking captain black in it every day

I gave a package to a friend that had heard it was out but couldn't find it anywhere. We both agree, it's a keeper. Not outstanding, but a pleasant, relaxing, enjoyable smoke.

You said full flavored, I jumped to English. I guess full flavored means the same inside my head. I'd probably add some Latakia to it anyway. Just a pinch per once :)

A friend of mine needs to borrow my bass for his graduation party. I told him for some captain black dark and a corn cob to try it in , and if he picked me up and gave me a ride to the party I was in, I wonder what looks I will get at the party, being an 18 year old smoking a corncob pipe

I have smoked this new blend for more than a week now . I have been a smoker of BCA for more than 30 years.

I must say Captain Black Dark is much better , I give it 5 stars . :puffy:
