Mac Baren Capstan Gold Navy Cut Ready Rubbed

Capstan is a historic brand rooted in England; its rights passed to Mac Baren in 2015 and production moved to Denmark. Gold Navy Cut Ready Rubbed is obtained by pressing light-colored Virginia leaves gathered from three continents into a block, slicing them and then rubbing them out. It's an unflavored, plain Virginia blend. According to Turkish sources, the strands are unusually thin for a pipe tobacco; this eases packing but can lead to a fast, hot burn, requiring a slow-paced smoke. The taste stays in a plain, refined line based on Virginia's natural sugar, occasionally coming close to a cigarette-like taste. Nicotine dosage is above light-to-medium and accumulates across consecutive smokes.
