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.

The unlit aroma is sweet cherry. The cherry impression is more like cherry candy or cough drops ("artificial" for lack of a better word) than cherry fruit. It's a bit wet for me, but drying it is a balancing act because it also diminishes the top notes.
In the bowl, it is quite sweet with less cherry. As the bowl progresses, the sweetness seemed to diminish a bit and the vanilla comes forward. When set aside mid-smoke, the topping is still quite strong when the cooled bowl is relit. Typical for this style of aromatic, if smoked hard, the tobacco turns ashy and less flavorful.
I think this blend generally succeeds, and is exactly what it claims to be, but there are better examples of this style.

I don't know what to say except this is definitely not the blend for me. The cherry flavor is way overdone in my opinion. On the positive side there is no tongue bite or harshness to speak of. The vanilla just adds more sweetness. The room note is okay I guess, if you like frosted cherry pop-tarts. Just can't recommend this one.
