Capstan Ruined Me

[BROBS]

Yes I mean another good one compared to OGS.

Some of us are that way about burley, as a base tobacco, as a condiment, in English, in single leaf.

Are we talking about the blue or the yellow label? Or both?

Sorry, Blue.

I haven't gotten around to trying capstan blue yet, I am sitting on 10 tins that I am cellaring. I am hoping it's as good as most people say.

It’s also good fresh, right away. You could find out tomorrow!

Recently been getting bulk blends which have been great,,, LJ, WWC, Wilkie...that I haven't really opened any tins...but it's does sound tempting!

I’m not one to criticize. I’ve still got about ten blends I wanted to try before the year is out and haven't been able to get to them.

But I tried Capstan early, because it’s the tobacco that’s almost named the same as a blend that may have been a favourite for some time or other of JRR Tolkien.

I fell for Capstan Blue too. I was lucky to fall for it when it was still fairly cheap ($10 and some change). I cellared it deep, but it doesn't change much. Nonetheless, it's good. It takes a couple years of trying different blends to figure out what you like and want to stock up on. I narrowed things down fairly quickly in 12-14, and am now sitting on a decent amount of Capstan Blue, Campaign, CVP, FVF, Alyesbury LF, Tillbury, Stonehaven, and Dunhill Flake.

I think Amphora Virginia Blend just hit me like this. I have been smoking through my pouch quite quickly and it just satisfies every smoke!
