Captain Black Gold
Long time favorite but wish they would seal the pouches a little better, frequently the tobacco seems just a little stale. Captain Black Gold is a nice smooth aromatic smoke with just a hint of vanilla.

Casey Jones is My Friend!
Oh my! One my my all-time favorites! A wonderful temperate taste with great comments from everyone nearby! "Oh my!" Delicious taste and scent made the smoke a genuinely delicious experience! The velvety texture was easy on the tongue for a great experience all the way to the end. I didn’t want the bowl to end! The pipe stayed gently warm throughout the smoke - even with a hard pull draw experience! Casey Jones Hero’s Blend is a keeper! I can hardly wait to try the other C/J’s blends…

The gals loved this one
My favorite for almost 40 years. Tried so many blends over the years and keep on coming back to this one. It does not bite, cool burning, mild with great taste and aroma. The gals in my office loved it and always knew when I was in. This is the only one my wife likes as well. She lets me smoke only this one in the house.

• A little too aromatic
• A little too aromatic - causes some tongue. • Smokes dry and smoothly - no gurgling dottle common to today's overly flavored blends. • I am still looking for a low/no aromatic blend that tastes like there's some real tobacco in it. • Stop all this overly aromatic and flavored blending for the kiddies. If you don't like the flavor of tobacco then don't smoke it! Smoke candies and perfumes instead!

Bought this for a change
Bought this for a change up to my everyday lineup. I bought the small pouch to try, and WOW! It is a little wet for my taste, but a few short minutes of drying on the top of my heater in a coffee filter (I am a little impatient), and its ready to go! Smells like cookies baking after drying, and its a good, sweet smoke! Hardly any bite at all. I just ordered a 12 oz can of it today. If you like a good aroma, and a sweet smoke, you wont be sorry that you tried this one!

I'll start by saying I'm
I'll start by saying I'm pretty new to the piping world, only a year and a half, so my tobacco pallet has yet to be fully developed, but I have to say... I LOVE this blend. It's very smooth and has a sweetness... but not overly so. I can pick up a subtle vanilla note and once in a while the slightest touch of honey and other times roasted coffee. It depends how hard I puff and the pipe it's in. There are several other flavors that come and go while going down the bowl and they are ALL good. I know, it's odd, but that's what I get out of it. I've gone through VaPers, English, Virginia and cheap OTC blends and I always, always come back to Casey Jones Hero's Blend. It's a perfect mix for me. I recently jarred three pouches so I'll have some in reserve for a while. I can never smell the room note, I might be too close to it, so I can't speak to that. Even the sweetest tobacco smells like regular smoke to me. So, long story short...this blend is my absolute favorite....hands down. I think I'll go enjoy some right now :)

a good mixture at a fair price
This is one of my favorite blends. I bought it in a package combo with Missouri Meerschaum Great Dane mixture. This is a richer blend, with a slightly stronger aromatic quality. It's definitely mild enough to be an all day smoke. As I like to rotate tobaccos, it's one of the tops.

Captain Black Gold is mild and mellow, best smoked slow and cool, and very enjoyable
I bought and smoked Captain Black Gold on a mission to try some different tobacco blends. This one is really mild with no strong casing flavor. So it was an excellent change from my stronger aromatics. I'll be doing Captain Black Gold again.

My Go-to Tobacco
I tried Casey's Beyond Brave and enjoyed it, so decided to try Hero's Blend. While Beyond Brave is a good smoke, Hero's Blend has quickly become my go-to tobacco...but then, I have a pretty simple palate. This is a great smoke! It burns consistently clean and smooth, pleasant, with no bite. This fits perfectly around a campfire. Although no one will accuse you smoking a vanilla shake, it has a fine aroma. And, you don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford it. Recommend that folks give it a try.

Captain Black Fan
This is one great tobacco blend. After being away from pipes for an extended time and getting back to enjoying them I was poised with the task of finding my blend. After seeing pipers with very large cellars I thought that was the way for me. But I have changed my approach now. I am looking to have my Lane 1Q and Dark Red in my cellar and now the Captain will be along side of them too. I am becoming a huge fan of the CB blends. For myself I do not want to have 20-30 blends to have to choose from when I want a bowl. The Captain helps me to narrow down that selection. I do now have several of the other popular blends that I will be saving but my focus for now will be to build my cellar with Captain Black blends along with 1Q and Dark Red. I know that Lane and Captain Black are from the same family and I am alright with staying with just one family. Nothing I like better than a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe and some Captain Black. So my recommendation to you is to try all the Captain Black blends and I am sure you will find more than one that will be your favorite.

Casey Jones is my HERO!
Being a huge fan of Casey Jones' "Last Ride", I figured that I would give this blend a try! I was not disappointed! Smokes a bit more mellow, so it's great for a beginner like me! Furthermore, it has a bit of sweeter taste and aroma, so when I get a sweet tooth craving, "Hero's Blend" hits the spot! Like "Last Ride", "Hero's Blend" will have a permanent rotation in my cellar! Now to pick up that 12oz. can!

A very good mellow flavorful smoke.
I find it funny that so many tobacco snobs talk so badly about Captain black brand.They call it "OTC" and cheap..maybe I'm missing something on my pipe journey...I've ALWAYS enjoyed every type of CB I've tasted..especially the gold and regular CB types..they are simple, straight forward aros that are available at local outlets...one thing for sure..SOMEBODY must like these,because they are available and selling well at every local drug store in my area...so..snobs..who think that tobacco has to be uber complex,spicy,leathery,smoky,sour, or whatever..get over yourselves...come on back to reality here..and recognize that this low cost aro is as good AND better than many brands out there.

Not as good as the first batch.
My brother ordered the Hero's blend about a year ago, best stuff I've had yet, just the smell of the opened bag was out of this world. the last pouch i got was not quite as moist, but not dry either, Just doesn't smell or seem as good as my brother 's pouch. But I would order it again.
4 out of 5
Not too shabby!
I purchased this never having smoked any of the Casey Jones tobaccos. I wasn't sure what to expect but, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. I've been smoking it in one of my cobs, and it's worked out quite well. I have other favorites which I definitely like better but, make no mistake, this stuff was still a very enjoyable smoke. I'm not sure if it will become one of my regular puffs, but I'd definitely consider buying it again if and when I feel the need to mix things up or simply need a change of pace.

Not as tasty 2nd time around
I bought a 1.5 oz. pack in connection with a promotion by P&C when I submitted my order before this one. I liked it so much I ordered 2 more pkgs. It’s still a decent smoke, but I don’t like it as much as I did initially...not sure what’s different in my reaction, but I’m not as happy as I was the first time.

Like very much as an add on tobacco or newer smoker
good smoke. I am still fairly new to pipe smoking and have tried several CB and Borkum's. This is the most mild of the CB and find it either a good mix to a darker burley or something that maybe has a little too much bite for my novice tastes or burn a bowl of this as my last of the evening after smoking some stronger tobaccos. The description given I agree with. Not much bite, a little bit of vanilla, mild. I tend to not smoke only gold as I think it is a little light on flavor on its own for a whole evening. Other flavors, CB royal, original, dark, BR original and bourbon. So I may blend / use this with the darker blends. As a comparison, I often finish with the BR bourbon as that has a nice sweetness and bourbon smoothness with a little more flavor than CB gold.

Always the Captain
Always the Captain, but too much fine cut in the mix lately. Bought several small packs hoping to get more long cut but got 1/2 cig chop like in bulk and the can I bought before. The long cut shag burns lighter and smoother, the finer chop burns hotter and is less pleasant. What's up ?

Flash Knockout in the First Round
Casey Jones is far and away the winner here. I have had both of their blends and Last Ride is my preferred blend of the two, but for the price they are both great smokes- Among the first aromatics I recommend. Captain Gold is a pitiful contender here. Had it been Copper or even Original, it would have made it a few more rounds. haha
5 out of 5
Buy it and spoil yourself...great bang for the buck
This was my first stab at a non-cherry aromatic and was immediately spoiled. Rich vanilla and honey, reminding me of some of La Aurora's best cigars, with sweet complexity of light fruit such as a fresh pear and a touch of mango. I now have two more pouches awaiting me. It's a mainstay with me now, just as is Casey Jones Last Ride is for cherry blends.
3 out of 5
Meh
I reviewed Hero's Blend elsewhere and gave it 5 stars. CB Gold, though, is pretty dull, which lets the roughness come through. It's not very rough, but without a strong profile, it's the most noticeable trait. CB Royal and Dark are much better options if you're looking for depth.
5 out of 5
Subtle and rich
Worth more than its price. Complex, with woodsy notes that complement its vanilla top, floral, and with virtually no bite. It’s a great aromatic experience, well-balanced and immensely relaxing.
4 out of 5
Good aeromatic
With the weather at below 50 degrees, the room note is important and this blend's is good. The cloud of smoke rises as a heron does from the reeds and is dense as clouds in the spring morning sky. It has the kiss of a young Irish lass instead of the bite of a viper. The nicotine hit is that of a babe in arms. A tribute to a hero locomotive engineer dedicated to his work.
5 out of 5
Room Note is Good
With the below 50 degree weather still prevalent, the room note is very important for me to smoke in the house. The Green River Valley Cavendish saves the day when blended with Honey/Vanilla. The heavy cloud of smoke floats like a leaf in the autumn wind. No bite at all. A tickle of Vitamin N and all is right worth the world. Long live the history of Casey Jones the only RR hero I know.

Mellow
As with other Captain Black pouch tobacco, it helps to allow it to dry out just a bit before enjoying.

Great, even if you set it on fire.
I'm guessing this stuff was grown and cured buy people that are going to use it themselves. Well done folks. The wife will probably not bitch too loudly about you smoking this one, even if you ARE enjoying it.

good flavor, for a package tobacco.

Less wet L1q
Thought it would be lesser tobacco covered by too much topping, couldnt have been more wrong, minimal bite, good flavor, suprisingly good tobacco, essentially less wet L1q

Great mild taste at a great price

Nice
Pretty decent smoke. I would say hardly any bite and didn't burn too hot as long as it's packed good. I didn't smoke any other blends untill after the pouch was finished. I'm considering a can in the future.

enjoy your freetime with a good pipe full
the 5 for 25 is a teriffic buy that will provide hours of enjoyable smoking and introduces one to hundreds of different brands at a great discount.

Hard to keep lit.
It has a nice smooth flavor to it along with a sweet aroma. However, I found it hard to keep lit. Tried several different pipes with the same result. Don't know if it was me but I haven't had this problem with other brands.

Casey Jones Hero's Blend Fan Club!
I love this stuff! I can't leave it to go to my other brands I have! I ordered a pouch because of the review that was not so good, but when I tried it I couldn't understand the bad opinion. I ordered the tin and will not run out if I can help it! Thanks to P&C for providing it for us!!!!

And you know that notion just crossed my mind!
The hubby really enjoyed this blend gives it 4 stars.He said the vanilla was not overpowering and the honey added just enough flavor making this blend a winner! many vanilla blends he has tried end up in his jar of all vanilla tobacco because he finds them boring but this one he said will be ordered again and not end up in the "JAR"!

I find my own tastes
I find my own tastes seem to prefer the Casey Jones Last Ride over the Hero's Blend.

Gold is good!
To me, CB Gold is the mildest of the Captain Black line of tobacco. The cavendish is delightful in taste and aroma. Toss up between Captain Black Gold or original White as my go to everyday smoke.

A good simple daily smoke
Probably my #2 after Capt Black Copper in the Capt's line up. A good mild and nutty smoke that you can smoke daily. Not going to knock your socks off with overwhelming flavor but a good smoke none the less. It won't leave that chemical taste that you may get from White, Royal or Cherry either.

No harshness here
I tried both the Hero's Blend and Last Ride and they're both good. I like Hero's Blend the best of the two. It burns good and has no harshness even when it's smoked a little hot. I don't see any way to make this stuff harsh. It has a sweet Vanilla taste that is somewhat like butterscotch. A nice mild all day smoke with great flavor. I'm going to order the 12 OZ tin and ad this to my rotation. Oh the room note is great too. Great stuff!

Disappointed smoking Experience
Bought this blend because it was suppose to be an aromatic and mild blend. Packed a new pipe with this tobacco and lit up. Smoking this blend was difficult because it would not stay lit very long and would not burn correctly. When I cleaned out my pipe, seems like I wasted about half a bowl each time. I put aside the new pipe and tried a couple of older pipes. Same experience so I know it is not my pipes. Sadly, I bought a pouch and a 12-oz can. Not sure when I will open the can as I was very disappointed with this blend. I will be smoking Dunhill London Mixture again which is a different flavor profile but has always burned consistent and is never a disappointment.

Great Mild Aromatic
I really liked the vanilla/honey flavor. It is a great aromatic and super cheap. You are missing out if you don't at least buy a pouch and give it a try. Ready to smoke right out of the pouch, not to wet or dry. Burns nice and cool. Room note is one of the better vanillas I have tried, and people like the smell.

Hero's Blend
I tried Hero's blend because it sounded like something I would enjoy.When I got it the smell was great.Well i'll give the aroma 4 stars but the flavor doesn't match.I expected a more smooth flavor but what i got was bite.The room note is wonderful.Unfortunately this one isn't going on my favorites list.

This is not bad, but something is missing. The vanilla Does't come out like I expected. It does't compare to Last Ride.

Casey Jones
Looking for a substitute for north sea, tried both Casey Jones Hero & Last Ride. Liked them both, mixed them together 50/50 like that too. Found my substitute. Great Smoke.

Stick with 1Q
Not really sure what it is about this blend, but I'm unable to finish an entire bowl... and I like vanilla aromatics. I tried about 5X now, and always dump it about 1/2 through. Something odd about this one for me. It's incredibly light. Maybe the lightest tobacco I've smoked (and I started smoking a pipe in 1987). Overly steamy. Not really sure why anyone would smoke this over 1Q. But I understand everyone's taste buds/PH are different, and this could be a home-run for someone. For me personally, it was remarkably banal.

Not bad, not great.
This isn't what I would call a bad pipe tobacco, but I just didn't feel that it had much to offer. I picked this up along with the Casey Jones last ride. Last ride Lives up to the name. This, however, doesn't have much flavor to offer other than just...... smoke. Vaguely caramel, mild, but that comes along with a fairly sharp bite, and maybe it's just me, but I also struggled to keep it lit. Overall, it is OK, but it doesn't do much for me. Not bad, not great.

Between the two Casey Jones choices, this is the loser.
I purchased a pouch of each Casey Jones, the Hero's Blend and Last Ride. Last Ride was a winner from start to finish. I've almost finished the pouch and hadn't tried this one yet, so I reluctantly put my Last Ride aside and opened the Hero's Blend. Smelled good in the pouch and lit it up one evening while watering my garden. Everything went downhill from there. Not only are my plants suffering from the cold summer nights we're having, my pipe was no longer my friend. This one smoked harsh and distasteful. Couldn't find any vanilla or butterscotch in either the taste or room note, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I finally gave up on it and knocked out the un-smoked portion and called it a night. I'll put this in my wine cellar for 6 months and come back to it. If it seems to have improved by then, I'll certainly leave another review. Until then, this one will not see the light of day for a while. If trying a new tobacco, go with Last Ride. That is a wonderful blend and enjoyable start to finish. Room note is so good I find myself following the smoke around just to smell it. Room note on this one brings back memories of tax audits and transmission problems. Not desirable.

Not for me
Looks good, smells great, but the taste is bitter. I always get a leather tongue when smoking. The bite seems very acidic to me; the flavour can be "tangy."

Very good smoke. Not a strong aromatic at all. Pleasant room note with a slightly sweet finish. Don't over look becuase its an off brand! You will be missing out.

Awsome!!!!
Absolutely marvelous. It's hard to even classify it as an aromatic because it's so smooth and smokes so dry. No bite, great room note and honey-sweet flavor. Don't listen to the blue bloods, they're never impressed by anything that's cheap and stocked at Wally World. Jump in with both feet and get a tub. This is my new all-day smoke. I've never tasted gold, but I bet it tastes like this! Happy Smokes
