In this review I smoke Capstan Gold Navy Cut Flake out of my Peterson Spigot 221 that was generously gifted to me by ‪@BlakeMDCCCXXVII‬. I'm really loving this pipe and it might be my best smoker. Stay tuned until the end to find out what I'm reviewing next. Spoiler, it's another straight Virginia.

Excellent review AND great timing. I've just finished my first ever tin of Capstan gold. Although mine didn't have any age to speak of I can subscribe to your conclusions. I deciced to stick a couple of extra tins in the cellar for some anging and future enjoyment. Thanks again and cheers from Amsterdam!

I imagine this is one that would be great right off the jump, but aging pure Virginias is almost always going to result in a better product. You won't regret cellaring this one. Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I hope you have a great rest of your week. Cheers, Andy.

Hiyas Andy, Another spot on review. Capstan 🟡 is indeed a great blend IMHO. It is a quality blend and perfect for a hot day, paired with some iced tea. With that said; the 🔵 flavor profile is a slightly better fit for me; I prefer its deeper, dark fruit and earthy notes. If it's topped or cased at all, it is done with a very light hand. Looking forward to your next review Take care and serene smokes, Gary

Thank you Gary, as always, for the comment and kind words. I really enjoyed the 🟡. Such a high quality product. Looking forward to the 🔵 also, and perhaps one day even the 🟢 like you made. The next review should prove to be interesting, and maybe even a little bit of a hot take on a community favorite. Cheers, Andy.

Thanks for your review, Andy! I have decided I do not like barbecue flavor in my tobacco! Thanks for the reminder on the cooler smoke bringing out more flavor. Have a great day!

Newer pipe smoker here and Capstan Gold is probably the best blend I’ve tried. Love the stuff!! Also if you like salinity in a blend, I’d recommend Mississippi River by SPC 👍

@Piper_Andy 19 күн бұрын

It is definitely high up on my list as well. I am new myself, but find I lean more towards VaPers and VaPer+ blends. I will add Mississippi River to my list of blends to look out for. Thanks for the suggestion and your comment. Cheers, Andy.

Hi Andy! Great review, my friend! I used to like the barbecue/vinegar smell until I got some bad Sir Walter Raleigh, and now, not so much. Maybe someday my liking of it will return :). Take care, my friend!

@Piper_Andy 19 күн бұрын

That smell takes a little getting used to, but I personally love it. It didn't really translate THAT much to the taste. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Hope you have a great rest of the week. Cheers, Andy.

I used to only smoke tobaccos that i deemed natural but i was watching per from mac baren talk about blending and he changed my mind i love a good tobacco recipe now. Those blends that have been made with tobacco and other ingredients like a good meal spiced and flavourful. Still dont like those aromatics when they just cover cavendish with vape juice though

@Piper_Andy 19 күн бұрын

I'm finding that it is difficult to find a blend that doesn't have at least a little bit of something extra added. As long as it is minimal and doesn't altar the profile too much, I don't mind. You're right though, aros with wet goopy PG added is not enjoyable. Thanks for the comment. Hope to see you around. Cheers, Andy.

Nice review, I really enjoy the way you approach the review. I enjoy both Capstan blends, just good, quality tobacco. As to scotch, Ralfy says you should let a good single malt air out the number of minutes of its age, so 12 year old sit for 12 minutes 😊. What do you think? Have a great day.

@Piper_Andy 19 күн бұрын

You can definitely tell that Capstan is high quality tobacco. There are no rough edges to it. Looking forward to sampling the "Blue" flake. Haha, Ralfy has forgotten more about scotch whisky than I've ever known. He is a terrific ambassador. He also says that he doesn't do his reviews until he has had a few drams to allow for the bottle to fully express itself. I find that to be dead on accurate. Thanks for your comment and the kind words. Cheers, Andy.
