Captain Black put me off so long ago, I can't remember why. I like four or five pouch blends, maybe more, but not that one. I was intrigued by Grape, but not enough to overcome my aversion.

I think maybe the closest I come is Borkum Riff Bourbon which I find pretty good, but not good enough to keep on hand.

Good to know. If anyone else stocks it I'll give it a try.

I hadn’t heard of it but if it’s available at Smoking pipes the next time I order then I’ll definitely pick some up.

I don't hate it at all. It's mild as expected and I can taste the Virginias clearly but not so much the burley. The flavoring is hard to pin down but the closest thing I can name is maybe caramel. It's not as sweet as other captain blacks and i'm kind of digging it. Just one bowl in though, I may hate it next week.

You can tell Pipes & Cigars are owned by STG. I've only seen it available there and not anywhere else. And I think it was the same with CB Copper.
