Introducing Captain Black Dark pipe tobacco! This is a pure black Cavendish made from premium Green River Burley that has been steamed and richly flavored. The flavor and aroma are sweet, with vanilla and dark fruit notes. This is destined to be the next classic in the Captain Black family - Captain Black Dark.
I am very new to pipe smoking and am enjoying the journey immensely so far. I've been smoking semi-regularly for about two weeks and my good friend, an experienced piper, has been helping me learn how to pack, light and smoke. He's a big fan of Captain Black so I bought him some of the cherry blend to thank him for his guidance. I enjoyed that immensely and was very interested to try other Captain Black blends. I stopped by the local tobacconist tonight and they had the Dark blend for a good price and I just had my first bowl in my Whitluck's. I love it! The aroma is pure spiced rum and the taste is mild, smooth, sweet with a faint vanilla spice. Delicious! It smokes easy and cool and I didn't have to relight it at all, a big achievement for a newbie like me! I will definitely be getting some more of this and next I'll try the Captain Black Royal.

Captain Black Dark
Mar 31, 2022
This is the best tobacco I have smoked. I was a pipe smoker for many years and quit. After a long time span I started smoking a pipe again, to find out that my favorite tobaccos were no longer available. With the help of P&C and trying many different blends and brands, I tried Captain Black dark, which is the only tobacco that I smoke. It has a great taste,no bite,extremely mild and has a great room note.

Pleasant Smoke
Mar 19, 2022
I was going to give this 3 stars, but the farther down the bowl I got the more flavor came through. Smooth, pretty much single note flavor. As others have noted it seemed to require excesive relights, but not enough to be a detriment to enjoying a good smoke. I'll let it dry out a bit before the next bowl.

HAPPY WIFE- HAPPY LIFE
Feb 14, 2022
I've been a menthol cigatcrette smoker for 54 yrs. now. My wife said all your clothes stink like cigarettes. I decided to try pipe smoking, did'nt think I would enjoy smoking without inhaling, but actually really enjoy it and quite satisfying. My wife really likes the aromatic smell of Captain Black Dark. Happy Wife, Happy Life.....

A subtle yet rich vanilla blend. It’s not as sweet as og captain black but it is very nice. It’s a tasty blend that smells and smokes good. It’s not over the top in its sweetness which makes it so pleasant.

If you like aromatics, you can’t go wrong with any Captain Black product. This tobacco smoked cool without any bite at all. The moisture of the tobacco was just about right. Great tobacco for every day or as an aromatic treat. Excellent!

I love Captain Black Original, but this stuff...
This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m a cavendish family for sure, and this hits the the spot. An amazing room note with vanilla, raisins, and a little bit of spice as it burns down the bowl. This is my new favorite daily smoke.

Capt Black Dark is yummy
Feb 21, 2021
I love this stuff! I like to dry it for an hour or so. I find it helps with keeping it lit. I am a big fan of Cavendish tobacco, and the darker the better. a mild, and cool smoke with subtle notes of vanilla, raisins, and sweet cream. I often mix this with other tobacco blends... a small pinch in C&D haunted bookshop was a nice addition!

Haven't Found Better Yet
Dec 18, 2020
So far, this is my favorite Black Cav. Never any tongue bite. Great, smooth flavor with a good sweetness to it. It gives off a nice thick blueish smoke, but doesn't ash up your bowl too much. Consistent burn when packed right. Great aroma that hangs around in my beard all day, which is a nice bonus. If you like sweet & mild smokes, this is definitely one of the best ways to go. I'll let you know if/when I find better...

Rich aroma, wife likes it. Very smooth, no bite; if anything,too light. Royal is a little stronger and slightly more complex aroma, not just straight vanilla. Both are 5-star, prefer Royal.

Awesome Pipe Tobacco
May 07, 2020
The Captain Black Dark Tobacco has a wonderful aroma when burning. I experienced no bite or aftertaste. It provides voluminous amounts of billowy clouds of smoke. Not overly wet in its case. It could become one of my favorite pipe tobaccos. I really enjoyed smoking this tobacco.

Was going to use as blend but...
Jan 19, 2020
Ok so I bought some Squadron Leader because I wanted to branch out into English blends (plus the tin is cool). Well, to me, it smells like the South end of a northbound mule and tastes even worse. Too cigarette like. I hate to waste tobacco so I thought I'd mix in some black Cavendish to sweeten it up. I chose the Captain Black Dark for the experiment and tried a bowl before mixing. Wow, what great tobacco. Plumes of billowy , white, cool, tasty, fragrant smoke. Burned down to light ash with only one tamp and re-light. I tugged away at it almost trying for tongue bite but it wouldn't. So smooth. No way will I mix it with the horse poop. It's just too good on it's own. The Squadron Leader will just have to wait in the cellar. Who knows, maybe it will improve with age. Or maybe my palette will evolve to appreciate the fine English blends like Squadron Leader.

The best tobacco I have tried to date
Mar 22, 2019
This is my first smoke of this tobacco and in my opinion it is simply superb. Its taste is just right for my palate and my nose likes it even more. It burns well but slowly - obviously your conditions may vary from mine there's no way to quantify burn rate - and with the same caveat, it doesn't burn the tongue. Its an ideal 'sipping' smoke, for taking time to enjoy it in a relaxed atmosphere such as reading a book, LOTR is my favourite pipe smokers read for obvious reasons! One might almost describe this as a voluptuous smoke, it has depth, richness and evokes fond memories.

Dark and Flavorful
Mar 13, 2019
Novice smoker. I have tried many different blends; but Captain Black dark is working very well for me. This is the first aromatic that I have been able to detect the Suttle flavors in. Smooth, flavorful with no tounge bite, and no chemical flavors that I have found in Lane 1q and other aromatics. I will get more.

Captain black with another winner!
Feb 20, 2019
captain black dark tastes soo good and vanilla-ee, im new to pipe smoking, and of captain black tobaccos, ive now only tried royal and dark and they’re both delicious. I feel like otc brands get a bad wrap because they’re mainstream, but if you think about it, at the end of the day, it’s tobacco, its made in the same process as house blends from tobacco shops, its just otc. To me, idk... it tastes delicious. I love aromatics, and captain black defines a smooth, easy to smoke, great smelling, aromatic

One Note
Oct 05, 2018
This tobacco is very "one note." I get the sweetness right away and the room note is very pleasant, but that's it. Not a bad tobacco though, I can see how it could be good for mixing into other blends as a sweetener. It would also be a good starter tobacco for those who are new to the hobby.

Smokeable Dessert
Jul 31, 2018
Oh man, where do I start!? This is by far the sweetest tasting CB variety I have ever tried. Flavors of cinnamon, apple, pecan and clove always come to mind. It's an ideal choice for after dinner. I have one pipe dedicated strictly to this tobacco. First time pipe smokers might find this to be an ideal choice to start their palettes.

Not Loving It.
Jun 11, 2018
Another one that many people seem to really love but I thought was disgusting. Yuck! (I didn't care for Royal either, so make of that what you will.) My favorite CB is Copper thus far.
That said, it packs well and burns evenly without much need for relighting.

The Captain wins
Jun 09, 2018
I'll preface this by saying that I just returned to pipe smoking after a twenty-five or so year hiatus, and before only smoked Sir Walter, because it was about the only thing you could get in rural Mississippi back then. I found the Captain Black Dark to be much, much more satisfying to my taste. I have been pretty much buying small quantities of a number of blends over the last couple of months and will continue to try as many different ones as I can, but for right now this one, along with Captain Black original and Stanwell Vanilla are my top three.

Captain Black Dark beats Borkum Riff Black Cavendish
May 31, 2018
Captain Black Dark beats Borkum Riff Black Cavendish rather soundly. Cap Black was pleasant with no bite and good taste. Might be a tad moist out of the pouch, I had to do a little more than normal re-lighting, but of the two in "The Black Knight" duel, Captain Black wins, hands down.

First time I tried this i fell in love with captain black. This is tied with my favorite smoke and is threatening to become my #1. At times I haven't even lit this properly and it's burnt practically to the bottom without a hitch, maybe one relight. I just can not say enough about this now I'm fixing to try royal and the black knight challange, can't wait to see how that goes

Dec 12, 2017
My first Captain Black. For some reason, I didn't think I'd like this, but I was wrong. Mellow, sweet flavor, almost like cherry but not quite. Very pleasant room note, which is easy to disperse. Relaxing, and probably pairs well with whiskey. Because of this, I will probably try other Captain Black blends.

Many years ago I almost gave up smoking my pipe until I found Captain black Gold. I've been with Captain Black Gold up until recently. New to Pipes and Cigars, which is an awesome site. I decided to try original and Royal and now Captain Black Dark, which is awesome smoke also. Good room note and bite free. I also tried mixing it with other Captain Blacks. Awesome all around.

If you like Black Cavendish you will love this one. My only knock on it is you can get other black Cavendish blends that are just as good for a little less. But if your at your local tobacco shop and you come across a pouch of this I would recommend that you give it a try.

Honestly I need to sample a few more oz.'s to give a fair feedback. Unfortunately a cold disrupted my olfactory senses to truly distinguish and fully enjoy it's taste and aroma.

Hands down! Best Black Cavendish for the money.
May 21, 2016
This is by far the best Black Cavendish out there. Price is an added bonus! There are not enough O's in "smooth" to descibe how nicely this smokes. In my personal opinion this makes 1Q look overrated. The total package. Tastes great. Burns cool. If you're new to the scene and looking for a great not good Black Cavendish? Look no further. This is it.

I am new to tobacco. I have tried and enjoyed English blends and am now branching out into aromatics. This stuff is nice. Smells like candy. Pretty wet. Let it dry. Smoke it very slowly. Just get a good light in the center of your bowl and it will treat you well. It is as the name and reviews suggest. Rich, sweet, molasses... Lingers pleasantly.

Favorite Captain Black. I seem to get undertones of plum or raison. Get some you'll be happy you did.

Good smoke. Best in a large cob. Still prefer Captain Black Royal.
RE of Leesburg, FL
A good blend by all accounts. Room note has been frequently complimented. A few things to note, first is that this is a coarser cut leaf. Still packs well but worth mentioning as it takes a little practice to pack properly. Second, this tobacco seemed to me as an almost pure aromatic blend. Almost all I could taste was what i believe to be the Casing on the tobacco (the same but stronger than that of royal). A great and very sweet vanilla flavor. Not my favorite but for aromatic lovers this can be a go to blend.

I have been a pipe smoker for about two years, and have tried lots of non aromatics, aromatics, and English. Captain Black Dark was one of my first tobacco, and has been one of my favorites.

My new favorite mourning smoke, had 2 bowls this mourning, it smokes cool, nice room note, no bite at all, hope they put it in large can.

I knew I liked the Captain Black Dark but wanted to try the bulk before reviewing it. I received my 5 ounces today, loaded up and headed to the porch. The bulk is ever as good as the pouch so it can save a bundle if you order 4 ounces or more. This Dark is smooth with no bite and it burns good. It is pure pleasure!

Subtle sweetness is what I get from this blend. I will have to dry it a bit as it did not like to stay lit. But this is definitely a good solid "all day smoke" that will be one of my regulars.

I recently took advantage of the Captain Black sale to purchase some Captain Black Dark which I really like. However, the bulk version seems to not have the same flavor and aroma as the previous tobacco I purchased in the single 1.5 oz. packets.

AWESOME and fast delivery.
EH of Valencia, CA
Was a pretty good smoke, no bite at all, will buy more of it just to have around.
EJ of Queen Creek, AZ
I received a pouch of this in the Great Place to Start kit and this is a very enjoyable smoke. A smooth tobacco with great aroma, and my wife agrees. I have been an avid cigar smoker for 4 years (CAO, Man O War, Cohiba, and so on) and just started pipes. I'm glad I got this as one of my first pouches.
TM of Kaneohe, HI
I found it very mellow and no bite at all. Good morning puff, but I find it only smokes well in my cob as the larger leaf cut tends to plug up my briars so I am constantly working it with a pipe nail. The cob gives it a very mild taste.
PJ of New Castle, PA
I agree wholeheartedly with all the above. i wish it would come in large tin.

Well I could be wrong but I think Captain Black Dark is the same as Lane BCA.. in fact I was on another web page and noticed the manufacturer of Capt Black Dark was listed as Lane Ltd. I looked at both and looked the same and smelled the same. Either way they both smoke exceptionally well. A great after dinner smoke for me.. very pleasant room note and really no bite to speak of. I think that if more beginners would start with this tobacco, we would have more pipe smokers.

Captain Black Dark is one of my favorite smoke's
JF of brookfield, WI
So far I have tried Captain Black Cherry, Royal, and Dark. Dark is by far my favorite! It's smooth and smells great!
BW of Pomona, CA
My new Favorite from Captain Black! It smokes very tasty and has no bite at all.
NM of New Castle, DE
This blend is an excellent addition to the Captain Black line. So much so that the Captain should become a brevet Rear Admiral immediately. It is much touted to have a vanilla/fruit note. I, however, find that the main taste is a pancake/maple syrup note. It isn't bad, mind. In fact, it's great. It puts me in mind of the hotcakes and syrup from McDonald's. It isn't going to win any complexity or innovation awards, but that isn't what the Captain Black line is for. It's there to be consistent, tasty, and easy to smoke. This new blend holds the name up quite well.

I thought Captain Black Royal was the best, but Captain Black Dark is every bit as GREAT. A delight for pipe smokers everywhere. Enjoy!
