Just started to smoke pipes about a week ago. Smoked Cigars for about four years. So I wanted to try something new and different. Like it so far, just have to find a tabacco that I truly like.

you are in good company, There's a lot of us newbies to the pipe here, me included. so stick around we can all learn from the more seasoned vets around here.

I cant offer much help with particular brands. I'm still sorting it all out, but I would suggest being open minded to aromatics and non-aromatics, at first I didnt want to smoke anything that didnt smell all nicey nicey, strictly aromatics, but I'm learning some of the straight blends that dont smell so nice can really taste quite good.

Enjoy the journey.

If you're talking about that stuff in the pouch I think Wal-Mart carries it but it's mostly a very mild black cavendish...very little flavor IMO...

Is Captain Black an Over The Counter blend (OTC) if so check out your local drug store or cigarette store.

Do you have a local B/M that has a decent selection? they might be able to help as well.

The places that I have checked didn't have it on the self. Don't know if it is a OTC or not. Have read posts about it.
