Captain Black Grape

Captain Black Grape is the latest entry from the largest-selling brand of pipe tobacco in the US. Using the same blend of white Burley, Bright Virginia and black Cavendish as Captain Black Regular, Captain Black Grape is finished with a lively, sweet note of grape for a room-pleasing aroma, but a subtly zesty flavor. We expect this blend to be one of their most popular yet. Give it a try today!

Uggghhhh ... some competition for Capt. Bob? :mrgreen:

Don't expect much then, do they? :|

You have to wonder if that kind of blend is what raises hackles among those who would "protect the children". I love grape, vanilla, cherry, peach, etc, but not in my tobacco or coffee.

I bet you would need to visit a pipe exorcist to remove the grape flavored ghost left behind.

Grape. I believe among the scores or hundreds of non-tobacco flavorings I've seen used in pipe tobacco, this is the first grape I've seen. If this makes you shudder, just keep in mind, aromatics are 95-plus % of pipe tobacco sales.

I used to razz Sutliff's retired blender, Carl McAllister, about making a grape blend. He'd always say, "Never!" We used to laugh about that one.

Yuck. No thanks.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

This upsets me.

Yep ... and Bud, Coors and Miller are the top beer sellers.
There's just no accounting for most people's taste! :mrgreen:

Blegh! Sounds hideous! No thank you.

Guys it to early for April Fools.

They are still selling Cap's blend. Must be a market...

 

[jacks6]

I don't believe I've heard of Captain Bob?

[ericusrex]

Nope.

I think I'll try it when it becomes available. I don't like to judge a blend until I've tried it.

 

[aldecaker]

It sounds pretty horrible to me, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and the phrase "grape flavored" just sounds like it would be sweet and candy-ish. In addition to that, much like coffee, there are flavors I think are compatible with the taste of tobacco, and grape is not one of them.

 

[hawky454]

Gots to compete with the blunts and the Black & Milds... I guess. Sounds disgusting, just as Captain Bob's Blend is disgusting.

 

[jndyer]

I think I will pass. Sometimes I wonder if tobacco companies are just trying to piss off the FDA.
