Captain Jack

[2GLR]

I bought a couple of samplers from Halo. The best tobacco flavor I have tried yet is Captain Jack. Forget gandolph (steeped or fresh) forget casablanca, forget boba's. Captain Jack beats them all hands down. I think it has a better flavor than my cuban cohiba's I aged for 5 years.

I had a sample of this when it first came out, but I can't remember how it tasted. Is it more of a cigar or more of a pipe tobacco taste?

 

[2GLR]

A rich cigar taste in my book.

I get no tobacco at all from this. It's fruity, and it has spectacular throat hit. One of my very favorites, but not tobacco.

Well, look who's here-- it's Dr. V!

Good to see that you're still around, I was wondering if one of your creations had turned on you...

Either way, it was obviously quite forgettable. Beats Gandalf hands down? Ah hahahahahaha!!!

 

[MaxUT]

Well, my personal forgettability is quite exceptional.
I'm compelled to take Gingko ......, since I can't remember a ****ing thing.

I've tried it, as well, though I was only refilling little Blu carts with it at the time -- I'd love to try it again in the G6.

What I got from it wasn't really a tobacco flavor, but more like a strong note of rose scent. The flavor that translated to was something I can't describe. Not unpleasant, but not something that would be an all-day vape for me. The throat hit and vapor (for a Blu) were both insane -- but the unidentifiable/unimpressive flavor wouldn't have me using Captain Jack as anything but an additive; say 5 or 6 drops of something like Longhorn, 2 or 3 of Captain Jack to kick the TH and vapor up a notch.

To my palate it tastes like rum soaked tobacco YMMV

That's what I expect from all the Captain Jack/Black/whatever cigar-type blends---tobacco infused with rum. Isn't the name a reference to Caribbean pirates from back in the 18th/19th century rum/slave trade?

I just got a small 8ml bottle of Captain Black concentrate from Seedman's (via Wizard Labs) that I haven't tried yet.

If you would, please, let me know how that works out. I made some of the same, and it's
been steeping for a few weeks now. It's interesting, but it needs something, and I can't
figure out what.

I started at 5%, and that seems kinda lonesome. I've tried variations with sweetener, smoother,
commercial flavor, tobacco absolute and almond. Like I said, I just don't know where to go with
it.

Let me know if you would. Thanks.

This is also one of my favorites but sadly everyone I'm around hates the smell of it when I'm using it.

From inside the cab of a xray rig bored out of my mind!

 

[bivie]

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about the smell.

I vape alone - yeah, all by myself. You know when I vape alone, I prefer to be by myself. (sorry, had to do it).
Just me and my dear old captain.

I haven't been able to pick up the other ingredients to try the suggestion above, but I'm still gonna do
it. I have too much of the Captain to let it go to waste.
