The journey began in 1973, when Lane Limited cast its sails to offer rich and aromatic pipe tobacco for the enjoyment of smokers worldwide. Captain Black pipe tobacco proved itself capable of delivering unmatched satisfaction, and rapidly became the #1 selling pipe tobacco brand in the United States.

Nearly two decades later, Captain Black's tobacco took a new form: filtered cigars.

Then in 2012, Scandinavian Tobacco Group continued to build on that rich history by launching Captain Black Cigarillos in three perfectly infused flavors: Sweet, Cherry and Grape.
