Lane Limited Dark Red
(3.38)
Lane Limited's Dark Red uses the same rich, toasted and steamed Green River black cavendish blend as their BCA, but instead receives a topping that is a combination of black cherry, vanilla and caramel. BCA fans should love it.
Notes: Released 2016.

I somehow got 2oz. of this and then ordered 4 more and am awaiting delivery of 4 more. I found it to be fairly moist but still very smokeable right out of the bag and in fact found it lost some of it's cherry flavor as it dried so I keep it hydrated. I had no trouble lighting it or keeping it lit plus it had enough strength halfway through to be satisfying. It is probably the only cherry blend other than maybe Cult that I thought was good enough to buy. The room note is excellent and it is one of the only tobaccos I can get by with in the house.

Been smoking this for a couple of days now, and have to say is pretty good. Its a bit moist, but just as mentioned, I smoked it right from the bag. The aroma is great, and the flavor is definitely cherry, and just a small hit of vanilla. It only required a couple of re-lights, and smoked smooth without a bite. The room note says "I am cherry", and that it is. I bought 4 oz. of this stuff, and so far I am not dissappointed by it. I bought another with this order, and have submitted it for approval, it Sutliff's "Pina Colada".........and it is one of the most aromatic tobaccos I have ever tasted as well. I can smell the bag from here as I type, and its probably about 15 ft. from me.

One thing I have found with many heavy aromatic tobaccos: after you get halfway through the bowl, many of the toppings have dissipated and you are left with some generic sweet flavor.
Not so with Dark Red. The rich flavor remains throughout the entire smoke, leaving you wanting more. There is a lot of dark cherry, some vanilla, perhaps hints of rum or a cherry liqueur, maybe even hints of some chocolate and hazelnut. All in all it tastes like a rich dessert, but without the calories.
Other reviews have pointed out that the tobacco is rather moist, but I found that drying some in a covered wooden bowl for 6 hours does the trick: the tobacco burns nice and evenly, leaving a powdery ash; only at the very bottom did I get some moisture-laden ribbons that wouldn't burn.
The smoke has a silky, luxurious texture, and the retro-hale has a strong aroma of black cherry.
I wish I had found this tobacco when I first got started smoking pipes. Once you figure out how long to dry the tobacco, it is a very easy smoke, and very forgiving to beginner's mistakes.

This black Cavendish is by far my favorite. I recently ran out of the first three ounces I bought to give it a good test run. It has exceeded my expectations and I have to get more. It has a great taste and smokes with no problems. I have tried it in several pipes and have had no bite from my briars and my two pearwood pipes. The pearwoods smoke hotter and so this is a really good tobacco to smoke in them. It has a great taste. The cherry topping is present but not so overpowering as to keep you from tasting some of the other flavors in this blend.
