Captain Black is a one of the world's foremost producers of cigar and pipe tobacco. The brand is an international trademark developed by Lane Limited (USA) which represents a wide variety of tobaccos that are renowned for their aromatic and flavorful qualities.

In 2011, Lane Limited was acquired by Scandinavian Tobacco Group. Scandinavian Tobacco Group Lane Ltd. now manufactures and sells a variety of cigars, pipe tobacco, and fine-cut tobacco for the US market. STG Lane's brand portfolio includes Captain Black tipped cigars, cigarillos and little cigars, as well as Winchester little cigars, TALON filtered cigars, Cubero cigars, Smoker's Pride Fine Cut Tobaccos, the roll your own brands Bugler and Kite, Peter Stokkebye, Borkum Riff pipe tobacco, and Captain Black pipe tobacco.

At STG we are proud of our history, which dates back more than 250 years. The company, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, was established in 2010 as a result of a merger between the tobacco business of the former Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S and the cigar and pipe tobacco business of Swedish Match (excluding its US mass market cigar business). The new company, which has about 9,500 employees, carries the name Scandinavian Tobacco Group in recognition of its Scandinavian heritage and ownership. We are aware that our products and business require consideration and responsibility in everything we do, and our aim is to entice smokers to prefer our products over those offered by our competitors�it is never our objective to encourage anyone to start smoking.

Today Scandinavian Tobacco is proud to share the #1 position within the world of cigars, operate as the largest manufacturer of machine made cigars and pipe tobacco in the world, and act as a dominant player in the world of roll-your-own tobacco. STG's business in cigars and pipe tobacco has grown consistently, and the vision is to continue growth based on strong brands and committed employees. With sales companies in all major markets and production facilities in the U.S., Europe, Central America, the Caribbean, and South East Asia, STG's annual sales volumes include more than 2.5 billion machine made cigars, 115 million hand rolled cigars, 450 million little cigars, 2,175 tons of pipe tobacco, and 3,170 tons of RYO tobacco in more than 100 countries.
