Lane Limited Punch
(3.00)
Lane Ltd. Punch is a latakia-forward blend with the bright Virginias and burley complimenting the dark leaf, rather than the more typical latakia-as-condiment approach.

Lane Limited - Punch.
I was a little worried at first. You see, there was no rush of air when I prized the seal open, or supposed seal. Luckily for me though, the lack of a seal hadn't made it too dry; good to smoke imminently, but no good for the cellar. Just one sniff from the tin gave me a good inclination as to what sort of blend I was dealing with: a heady Latakia one. On the negative side of things the blend included a few twiggy pieces of Latakia, not loads of them, but a couple of stick-like bits. It appears to be about 75% black Lat'!
Here's my experience with smoking it: I really enjoy it. The flavour is mostly Latakia, with only a very tiny amount of Burley and Virginia. And I mean VERY TINY. This causes the flavour to be a full one, with all of the traits a Lat-Hound would love, I assume! It's not as sharp or caustic as I'd expect a blend that's this heavy with Lat' to be; woody and smoky, but not bitter or acrid. The temperature of the smoke's cool, and it's thick in build. These features, along with the lack of bite, make for a comfortable smoke.
The room-note's heavy, but I admit I like it, and the nicotine's strong.
I'm deducting no points for the broken seal, it's too good a smoke, so I'll call that a one off!
Highly recommended.

Hits the spot. Love Latakia and this one is smooth. I may spice it up a bit with a pinch of Perique but will definitely buy more of this. No chance of tongue bit which is foremost in my mind. Buy some, get some in ya cellar. If you like Latakia this one if for you. Room note doesn't apply since I smoke outside, lol.

Gonna make this short and sweet. Punch is a top notch blend. Reminiscent of EMP but better in being smoother and more flavorful in my opinion. Try it.
