Background: new vaper who has smoked a pipe periodically in the past, and currently have a coolerdor of cigars. I smoke maybe a cigar every two weeks.
I picked up Halo's Captain Jack and Black Calico to see if either would scratch the pipe itch without the ashtray mouth.
To Captain Jack is dominated by a molasses flavor only less sweet. Tobacco under that, I guess, but leaning toward a grainy sorghum taste. Wet rattan? The smell of heated rosin or amber?
I used to smoke the Captain Black that (one assumes) this is inspired and I don't find this expression satisfying. Worse, I don't think the smell would be particularly nice for non-smokers nearby whereas Captain Black could cause the most rabid anti-smoker to lean in for a whiff and a flash memory of their grandfather.
I don't think I will re-order it based on this experience. Add in the cost of $5.99 for 7ml and it isn't a good value for me. Maybe there's a thread where people exchange bottles of stuff they bought but don't really like. I'll look around.
