    Captain Black anyone?

    hahahahaha! And indeed 1-Q is something else! It is everywhere.., with many different names and disguises..., people may have smoking it under a different moniker and never realized that.

    Captain Black anyone?

    Actually I explored the full gamut of OTC tobaccos available in my time. Captain Black was the last of the lot. Amphora and Clan were the first tobaccos that I actually finished the pouch.., learning more or less how to manage the smoke along the way. I vividly remember  Amphora's ready rubbed...

    Captain Black anyone?

    And not as offensive as some say. I actually came across some ridiculously expensive and hyped tobacco that were awful!!!

    Captain Black anyone?

    And this is exactly in line with what I read once. Someone pointed out that Captain Black Royal and Lane 1-Q were all but the same thing and bashing CBR while praising 1-Q sounded hypocritical. How it would fare in a blind tasting I wonder...

    Captain Black anyone?

    Black XX Rope and other twists

    Indeed! You found perfect definition! Rope tobaccos most of times are well outside the common realm of flavour profiles we are used to...Oily, Dark, Creosotish, Sour, spunky..! And they work wonderfully in blends adding that "Je ne sais quoi" that is very intriguing. I love that!

    About Brazilian rope tobaccos

    Another interesting rope... This tobacco "log", wrapped in wood ribbons is a Porronca from Ceará state. Curious tobacco: after sliced or cut in flakes you need to heat it in a pan until retracts a bit and start to turn fragrant.

    About Brazilian rope tobaccos

    I just went through the topic posted earlier on about G&H twists and found it very interesting. There are peculiarities about those twists and ours in Brazil. G&H have an outer tobacco leaf wrapping, they're lighter in colour and look like made from a single rope.., I'm not sure. Ours are made...

    About Brazilian rope tobaccos

    Well.., as I told you before... Do you have anyone that you may know who comes to Brazil in the near future or does business here on a regular basis? This person can have the tobacco delivered to his/her address in Brazil, and afterwards take it to you guys in USA. Cheaper and safer. Otherwise...

    Ok. if you don't speak Portuguese, probably you'll not find the slightest info. I can search more for you guys and will come up with more later. For now: I bought some pieces from a small tobacconist located São Paulo, but his prices are salty. The best way, is to contact the producer himself...

    and rope tobaccos

    Hi there! Yep. This is a typical Brazilian knife to "chop tobacco" as we say. Rope tobaccos are widely available here and you can find almost anywhere in the countryside. I think nowadays they are consumed more than normal industrial cigarettes. There are several varieties, ranging from very...
