I got a pouch of this to throw in my driving rotation which only consists of Granger, and Gawith dark Birds Eye.
Upon opening the pouch it was sweet smelling but you could smell the base tobacco’s. When I light it up I was pleasantly surprised, I got a sweet vanilla taste,and after a few puffs I got slight citrus from the Virginias. As the bowl progressed I got a slight cocoa powder flavor and a little spice. I also got some of that burley taste. It does burn a little warm if you push it. It also wasn’t a goopy mess like I thought it was going to be.
I will add to this review as I make my way through the pouch but so far so good, don’t know if it’ll make the driving rotation though.

Lane Limited - Captain Black Platinum.
Hmmm, nice flavour, bad mechanics!
The medium brown ribbons have quite a fine cut, giving off a sweet aroma. This pouch had good moisture for immediate smoking, so there was no drying time needed.
Initiating a burn is easy, then the first flavour to come across is a mild toffee one. A little like butterscotch; this is mild, not cloying and sticky. Throughout the smoke I get a 'sharp' sugar-note, a very formidable sweetness. The tobaccos? Up front is tame Burley, a mild flavour, not too rustic or hard. The Virginia gives a little bit of hay, grass, but don't expect any ripe fruit.
Now the bad news: it burns hot, does so at the speed of lightening!
Room-note: nice. Nicotine: quite mild.
Captain Black Platinum? Shame about the burn, this reduces the rating to just somewhat recommended:
Two stars.

Smells very similar if not almost identical to Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. That roasted hazelnut liqueur flavor takes the lead in aroma while it seems to lack some of the other lesser flavor notes. The sweetness comes off a bit like marshmallow which I don't find terribly appealing. A very mild vanilla note is there also. I'm not sure what STG Lane is doing here. This seems like a pointless variation on an existing blend that is better and costs less.
