Go home, Cap'n Black, you're drunk.

 

[cobguy]

Go home, Cap'n Black, you're drunk.

:rofl:

 

[troutface]

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

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

 

[aeropuffer]

Sounds good tome, I'd like totry it.

 

[shutterbugg]

It sounds absolutely putrid. Should fit in very well with the CB lineup.

I'm not up to date on all the details but I thought the FDA was putting the clamp on post 2007 flavored tobacco's like this. If that's the case I'm wondering why Captain Black would introduce this product just as the new rules are fixing to take effect. I know in the machine made cigar world all these fruity flavors are marketed for potheads to mix their weed with. I'm not for banning any type of tobacco product no matter how disgusting I think the flavor is but I'm just wondering who the Captain is marketing this stuff to.

They can sell this horrid stuff for 18 months or so, and they're probably trying to appeal to the youth market.
To sum it up succinctly, BARF!

"...they're probably trying to appeal to the youth market."
Yes, the youth market of vapers! This flavor would be right up their alley. What's next, peanut butter? How about a PB&J blend? Oh, the horror...

Occasionally Haddo's Delight starts tasting/smelling grape to me. When it does, I cannot smoke it at all. I'd hate to run into something that tasted grape on purpose.

Seems to me that Capt. Black has just given some more ammo to the anti-smoking nazis. Now they can point to pipe tobacco as being marketed to the youth of the country with flavors such as grape tobacco.

Grape should appeal to the kids who are always eating Skittles.
Most likely targeted to hipsters who roll their own.
Maybe to mix with pot for the druggies.

What I referred to above, and as some one else commented, are they trying to piss of the FDA? Not an intelligent move.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

Have to say the most wild thing to me about it is Captain Black Grape actually ghosted the couple of cobs I had it in. People tend to say cobs don't ghost, but with this Captain Black Grape I was searching the yellow pages for the Ghostbusters number. When you're trying to enjoy a Virginia blend this Captain Black Grape certainly isn't Casper the friendly ghost.

 

[mso489]

A grape ghost. I always thought I might try this for a lark, maybe in an order for pouches of Five Brothers and Wild Atlantic, but if its gone all Lakeland aromatic on us, no. Other fruit-based aros like citrus and apple liqueur have been done well, and plum is a classic, so grape might work, but not if it comes with a ghost. Keep us posted to keep us from being ghosted.

 

[woodsroad]

It isn't grape so much as fake grape.

If it didn't ghost a cob (or meer or briar or morta or...) I'd be surprised.

 

[Chasing Embers]

All pipes can ghost. I reserve a Dunhill zulu for the grape.

 

[901blends]

It's easy to hate on Grape.
But it's easy to enjoy it as well. It's basically a dry Shisha like smoke.
Mix it with your favorite English blend and just a little dark fired kentucky. It cuts the grape presence by half and adds smoky goodness. Captain Bob's goes with Perique but Dark Fired is the perfection of the Grapa-kia mixture.

 

[anantaandroscoggin]

If you're picturing the taste/smell of Grape Nehi soda pop, that ain't it. More of a pouch note similar to a just-opened jar of grape jelly. Didn't seem particularly sweet while smoking it -- to my taste buds, anyway.

 

[bonanzadriver]

Sounds like something being made available to the Mary Jane crowd, not unlike Blunts, whose intent, as I understand it, is to pull the edge off of harsh weed.
Just a thought.....
