Capstan Navy Cut Pipe Tobacco

Friends,

Join me today as I embark on another pipe tobacco journey. This time, I have the honor of opening a vintage 1970s-1980s tin of the tobacco favored by J.R.R. Tolkien...the one and only Capstan Navy Cut from W.D. and H.O. Wills!

Capstan is legendary for being one of the finest straight Virginia tobaccos ever made. To me, it is to Virginia as Edgeworth Sliced is to Burley! Just outstanding! Some of the best smelling and tasting Virginia I have ever had and the decades of aging has done wonders!

Thankfully the blend is till produced today, although no longer by W.D. and H.O. Wills out of England. Mac Baren has taken over the helm of producing in Denmark. Pick up a tin and try it out some time if you haven't yet!

Enjoy folks and swell smokes always!
