If they have MacBaren 7 Seas Regular/White. That is also like CB White. And sometimes found in tins or bulk at B&Ms.
This is a very reliable forum for sensible questions (as long as you don't post said question in the secret santa thread). Thanks folks!!!
I've smoked RLP-6 and Captain Black Original recently and don't find them to be the same. Ratio of dark to tan tobaccos appears different as does the cut. Topping smells different to me as well.
^^^ I agree. Similar, but not the same. CB seems to have more preservatives, but I like them both on occasion.
I called Lane Ltd years ago and they verified that Capt Black White label and Lane RLP-6 are the same blend. Also:
Capt Black Royal is Lane 1-Q and
Capt Black Gold is Lane MV-1000
Capt Black Royal is Lane 1-Q and
Capt Black Gold is Lane MV-1000
They started the same thing. The difference come from the way they’re stored. A sealed pouch or a 5lb pillow stored in a B&M’s cupboard and usually served out of a jar.
No. Royal is 1QCorrect, except you got it backwards.
Royal =MV-1000
Gold =1Q
I stand corrected, my apologies. 1Q is in fact Royal.
