Captain Black pipe tobacco

Captain Black is one of the most popular tobacco brands in the world. It is most certainly “The Brand” in the United States: this archetypal selling line has been America’s best-selling tobacco company for the last fifty years and it is most likely that it will remain on the top for the next fifty years as well. After decades upon decades in the market, in 2011 the company was purchased by Scandinavian Tobacco Group - the greatest manufacturer of pipe tobacco in the world. Thanks to this epochal deal, the classic line of Captain Black tobaccos made a triumphant return. Nowadays, it offers you a great number of flavors ranging from easy-smoking everyday blends to the more aromatic, profound mixes created for a deep meditative experience.
