Yeah. I guess I did. I didn't realize it until I started reading the reviews. (after I bought it...I are a genius... ?‍♂️) Still trying to wrap my taste buds around the stuff.
Well, you didn't throw the pipe and vomit in disgust, do that's a plus. While I don't find it to be an all day blend, it can be a nice departure from the standard rotation. The more I smoke GH scented blends, the more I grow to appreciate them.

A bit of sweet, simple comfort. @captainblack_official Royal in a little Italian unmarked, paired with @wildturkey American Honey.

I gotta tell you, this CB aromatic isn’t bad at all. It’s better than a similar, more expensive blend I tried a few days ago. Puff gently and it will reward you with minimal bite and a flavor to match the pouch aroma. Cheers!19A784FC-0B8F-4445-80F8-696B65D894E7.jpeg

CB Royal is essentially Lane 1Q. It does the trick! I love Captain Black Gold. It's finally available in bulk again from a few retailers. I could smoke that any time.

G&H Irish X Twist. Lee Van Cleef. Celebrating a surprise package of three wonderful gifted pipes from a forum member. Looking forward to smoking them and having a bit more diversity to my collection. I‘ll be sure to photo them here. The smoking cap that matches my smoking jacket is also gift from a wonderful forum member as well.

Working on restoring some pipes. While having some Cobblestone Cherry Delight in a BC Rocbrune 1704. :)

Funny you say that. I smoked the CB earlier, and now I’m having some 1-Q because they seemed similar and I wanted to compare. In this moment I feel like they are both appealing for the same reasons, but 1-Q is a bit more so. The Royal smells and tastes a bit sweeter to me. The 1-Q is an overall smoother smoke. Maybe I’ll flip the order next time to see if I feel the same. Btw Gold is the only other CB I’ve tried and I enjoy that too.

A nice quick lunch of cold roast lamb sandwich, followed by a crisp new season Fuji Apple.
Now sitting on the verandah with a mug of black chai tea and these
Germain's Royal Jersey Perique in a 1884 diamond shanked bent billiard. Chester hallmarks WR for William Reed, silversmith and pipe mounter. I have not been able to trace the maker (WHV in an oval on the shank).
Glass of post-WW I Delamain Family Reserve Grande Champagne single origin (grower-distiller) unblended cognac.
Truly a great house and one of my favourites.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Good to see another bearded forum member.
The generosity of the ladies and gentlemen on our forum never ceases to amaze me.
