    A flavorful blend to explore

    Posted by Ed Kirchner on 24th Aug 2024

    I tried this upon learning that this is the closest thing we've got to Tolkien's favorite tobacco. I've gotten different notes as I've enjoyed more bowls, from the classic hay and grass, to buttered rye bread. A truly enjoyable blend.

    Fantastic Smoke

    Posted by L. Connolly on 7th Jun 2024

    The tin note was a little confusing at first, hint of grass but with a tang, very notable smell. On the smoke, it's smooth and delicious with a rich body, slightly sweet. Will buy again, no doubt

    My daily smoke

    Posted by Adrian Bellucci on 12th Nov 2023

    After finding a proper cadence, this blend has become my daily smoke. When sipped slow and steady, I experience almond or pecan notes with sweet grass or hay. I definitely recommend this blend to any Virginia lover.

    Took awhile to come around to this but it is a favorite now

    Posted by Andrew H. the Cajun Piper on 24th Aug 2022

    It took me a long while and probably a PH change on my part but I find myself waning to smoke this above my other blends. I usually do not smoke often and find myself gravitating to Capstan. I find it needs a month in the tin once opened and a full rub out. Burns easy ad decently cool. Has one of the best Malty mouthfeels in a Virginia that I have encountered in my almost 2 decades of pipe smoking. It is now a comforting friend that I will get more of for the long run. Ages well.

    Capstan Blue Flake tobacco

    Posted by David Glover on 31st Jan 2022

    I primarily smoke English blends. But I have recently been on a Virginia kick and I follow JimInks tobacco reviews and decided to give this one a try. It is a great and relaxing smoke, burns cool, clean and smooth with a very consistent flavor at a slow pace. I have been cube cutting the flake and gravity filling the bowl, and find that this method provides me with a great flavor filled smoke and , so far it hasn't required any relights and it burns consistently to the bottom of the bowl with no bite at all. I am on my 3rd tin and I know I will purchase more. Wish it could be purchased in bulk! Thanks, David

    My favorite straight VA

    Posted by Rodrigo Herrera on 22nd Dec 2021

    All I can say is that this is the finest tobacco you can get. Smooth, citrusy, an all day every day smoke.

    Capstan Blue

    Little more darker flavour than its brighter brother yellow, and is great too.

    Solid Virginia flake

    Subtle but complex smoke that evolves as you enjoy it.

    A nice easy-going smoke. Pleasant straight Virginia, good for all-day sipping.
