P&C's Battle of the Blends pits two tobaccos against each other, and you get to vote for your favorite by submitting a review. Best of all, you get both tobaccos at a bargain price. We'll tabulate the votes and announce the winner at a later time.

Let's get down to business and see who should be Sliced & Diced in this round of the Battle of the Blends. First up we have the Capstan Original Flake that is a gentle smoke and subtle. Next we have the HH Signature Anniversary Flake which is one of the best selling blends in the HH Signature series. These two are a perfect pairing, so take advantage of the great price on both blends and tell us which is the better smoke. Let's get to the bottom of this Sliced & Diced. 

Sliced & Diced Bout includes: 

(1) 1.75oz Tin of HH Signature Anniversary Flake

(1) 1.75oz Tin of Capstan Original Flake

A great mild smoke
All the comments mentioning hay and grass notes are correct. I usually go for more robust blends but I really like this mild classic. Excellent quality and very approachable. A great choice.

I like
I received a first tin. The top came off way too easily; the seal had not been made properly or had been opened before I received it. Replacement tin was much better; ready to smoke right out of the tin. I like the clean grassy taste. Smoked with minimal re-lighting. A better-than-average Virginia. Haven't tried the Wild Man, yet.

Last of the Greats
As producers of Virginia flakes close their doors, the flake resins a stalwart against which others are to be measured.

Great tobacco
Out of the handful of tobaccos I've tried this is my favorite and will probably be one of the tobaccos in my rotation. It took me a few bowls to get to know what flavors and such were in there. The tin note is ketchup-esk with a hint of hay and citrus (eye roll) like everyone says. When I smoke it, it's sweet and cool. Really like this stuff.

Good Stuff!
I had smoked Capstan Yellow and Blue many years ago - and in fact saved one tin of blue in my cellar, so I was able to compare the "new" vs the old - tho' of course, the old has aged since about 1980 (yea, that long ago), so they WILL BE DIFFERENT. But, the two weren't that much different! The taste is similar, the cut is almost the same (the older we approx. 1.0mm wider strands). The newer was a little sharper, but that's to be expected. I hope I can buy more - as I like the flavor of the Blue. I hope you all don't like it as much as I do, so there will be more left for me.

Anniversary Flake
As with many of Russ's blends, this is a great smoke. Easy to load, easy to light and easy to smoke. Clean, bright, tasty.

Must be what the hobbits smoke!
I'm a beginner, so everything is new. I smoke this one on a clay churchwarden and it's smooth and pleasant. On the third bowl I started getting more details not noticed before. If you are a Tolkien fan, you have to try it, since he is known to smoke this tobacco.

A good, straightforward Virginia
Just as advertised. A mellow and straight-forward Virginia with a fine flavor. A bit on the pricey side, but a nice smoke.

Not as good as the crumble cake version
I was super disappointed in this blend. Anniversary Kake is my favorite blend, and I love flakes as well. This version doesn't hold a candle to the crumble cake version. I'd rather smoke Orlik Golden Sliced than this one.

It's good.
I'm a latakia smoker, and I usually turn my nose up at any Virginia blends. This one however, is top-quality and one the only Virginia blends I like!

A Classic Straight Virginia
Capstan Blue is a mild-medium Virginia flake with a wonderful citrusy, hay aroma out of the tin. There is enough darker leaf to give it body, and plenty of Virginia sweetness and grassiness. Capstan responds well both to being rubbed out, and being folded and stuffed. Mild, tasty, and fragrant. This is one of my favorites.

Capstan Original Flake - Pure Taste
There are times when we all want something that is uncomplicated, without numerous ingredients, condiments or toppings. To me, Capstan Original Flake foots the bill. Pure Virginia taste, period. This tobacco is great for earlier in the day when the palate wants to keep things simple. The flakes are beautifully wrapped and when rubbed out, I ended up with a pile of fluffy ribbons. Burns to a white ash while providing a sweet Virginia taste throughout the smoke. Basics can be difficult but, this tobacco is basics done well. Highly recommended.

Anny kake flake?
Thought I'd try it, great presentation but it ends there. Same as the bulk version just fancied up a bit with a higher sticker price.

Excellent Smoke!
Whether you're new to smoking flake-cut tobacco, or an old hand at it, definitely try this! Capstan boasts a time-tested flavor, that is pleasant all around. The price is a little steep, but the product is worth it, even still.

A True Classic VA Flake
I have been pipe smoking for a few years now but it was not until I tried Original Flake by Capstan that I really began to understand what is a good Virginia. I smoke English blends more than anything else but after trying Capstan Blue I can safely say that straight Virginias will be more regular in my rotation. It has a great grassy / hay flavor and when sipped is sweet. It can bite if smoked too hot and fast, but I have found that happens with most Virginia blends. Give it a go (and feel like Tolkien!).

I am very happy I tried this.
I hesitated purchasing this since the price is comparatively higher than other blends. Well I just purchased a tin and immediately opened it. This broke my first rule I impose on myself of always putting tins into the cellar for 6 months prior to smoking. Wow! This is one fantastic tobacco. It is just the right blend of tobacco. Really mild but not too mild, burns great and absolutely no tongue burn. It is quite hard to describe this tobacco. Each pressed piece is exactly right to rub out and fill an average size pipe. Just one thing I must mention. Dunhill Ready Rubbed is as close to this as you can get and almost 1/2 the price. I smoke DRR as my daily tobacco but will make sure I have Capstan on standby for at least two smokes each day.

Top 5
This is a excellent tobacco. Definitely in my top 5. Only thing to say negative about it is the price. It is so good that even that doesn't stop me from buying it. Highly recommended.

Satisfying Straight Virginia
Capstan Original Navy Cut is a straight Virginia blend with a slight but undetectable casing. It is just shy of a medium bodied blend; lighter than Dunhill Flake and a little sweeter. Typical Virginia hay and grassy notes are there with some sweetness and an occasional lemony apricot-y note wafting through. Silky, creamy, simple, unpretentious, and delicious are words that come to mind. Comes ready to smoke, but also benefits from a few minutes drying time when new. Smoke it gently and enjoy.
