Cigarillos (mini-cigars) Captain Black LC Dark 20 pcs (71737498057_n)

The manufacturer of the brand Captain Black Lane Limited dates its history back to the distant 1890 from a small tobacco shop in the German city of Dresden. The original family enterprise developed successfully, making its founders famous throughout Europe.

Difficulties began in 1937, when a representative of the third generation of company owners, Herman Lane, was forced to leave his entire business and hastily emigrate with his wife to the United States, fleeing the Nazi regime. He had to literally start his own business from scratch, but his natural determination and foresight, coupled with the wealth of experience he gained and his connections with tobacco and pipe manufacturers in England, helped him open his own tobacco store in New York in 1938.

Thanks to the right direction and the great passion of Americans for pipes, the company managed to safely survive the difficult time for all entrepreneurs during the Great Depression. Tireless work, strict discipline and a thoughtful marketing strategy allowed Herman Lane to create a tobacco and cigarette company with a qualified staff of 150 people in a few years, promoting Italian and English pipes and his own tobaccos to the American market.

But Herman Lane’s greatest contribution to the prosperity of his company was the series of delightful pipe mixtures he created “Captain Black” , which has deservedly won the love and recognition of millions of pipe smokers in USA and beyond. The distinctive features of all tobacco mixtures produced by the company, so valued by smokers, are the special softness of smoking, a rich, rich sweetish taste and an amazing, unique bright aroma.
