Captain Black Gold pipe tobacco is a mild aromatic blend that is very easy to smoke.  The Golden Virginia Cavendish is the lightest in flavor of all Captain Black tobaccos.  Captain Black Gold is a little drier than the other Captain Black blends and needs to be packed a bit more carefully than the original or Red. It is finer in cut as well and packs a little quicker than the others. The drier cut can lead to an uneven burn, but it does not cause any harshness or unpleasantness to the smoke.
