A Tale Of Two Capstans

[cshubhra]

When I was in college, I briefly smoked a pipe (A few months/mostly for the Nicotine). One of the tobacco which I smoked at that time was Capstan Blue. It was almost 25 years ago. It was manufactured at that time by ITC, since it held all WD & HO Wills licenses in India.
Today I opened a tin of Capstan Blue manufactured by Macbaren. 25 years is a long time to hold a memory - but to me it smelled exactly like 25 years ago in my dorm room. I never thought that the same product (even though blended by two different companies) tasted same!
A little bit of nostalgia! I will get some more.

Capstan Blue is a fantastic blend indeed.
One of my favorites.

The tin art is also beautiful, very classic.

I'm cellared deep with both Blue and Yellow. Both are great blends. Just solid smokes.
