Lane Limited Very Cherry

Smoking now.

I smoked a few bowls of this over my short pipe smoking career. Smells of sweet cherry candy syrup.

Almost no tobacco taste that I can tell. If I didn’t know I couldn’t tell you if it was a virgina, burley, just a lite hint of cherry on the back end. It’s a “zesty cherry” more than a black cherry. It’s an easy smoke to have with a coke or whiskey. Leaves little after taste. Can bite smoke slow be careful.

If you want a zesty cherry tasting tobacco then give it a shot. You’ll taste the cherry and little else. The only reason why I would give this 2 stars. Now… cut this with some Granger or a basic non aromatic and you might have a good time.

Room note though … it’s very Cherry and very good.

The smell upon opening is cherry but it reminds me a little of the cherry flavored cough med. the kids take. It is a newly purchased 2oz. bulk tested and it is very moist. Drying time 20 min. to get it right. Takes a light very easily. Taste is cherry, at times the med. flavor comes through but this is most often found on the light and subsequent relights. Most of the time it is sweet cherry and what reminds me of cinnamon. The VA's do form a nice base that are tasted too but it is primarily the cherry casing that is tasted. It does bite a little even when sipping slowly but not too bad. It can be smoked once a day without trouble but I have found it should be the last pipe of the day to avoid compounding the bite. Room note is Okay and is quickly lost, something that non-smokers seem to like. Still this will not be a go to aromatic but if you are into cherry aromatics, this could be your blend. It just missed for me but then again, I am not an aromatic smoker. I do keep a few oz. around to smoke around the wife and this will work fine for that but I am still looking for that great aromatic blend for that purpose.

Of the three Cherry Aro blends I bought to make the chicks at camp happy, this one is the drinking blend. The mouth feel of the Cavendish blends just don't do it for me when I am in my cups. This blend has the Virginia to really brighten things up and keep the mouth feeling crisp instead of silky and 'coated' as well as the nutty tobacco taste and higher Nic-Kick that Burley lends. The topping in this one is a super bright candy flavour. Think Luden's Wild Cherry Throat Lozenges. That is the exact match. All and all, it is a crowd pleaser and a little less boring than other Aromatics I've tried. Definitely recommend this blend to any non-aro smoker who wants a bit of cherry. in their pipe-diet.

This is a Ludens Cough drop in smokeable form. If that is what you are after then Congratulations!!! You have found your tobacco.

Pretty consistent cherry syrup flavor all the way through the bowl. Very occasionally I will get a little nuttiness from the burly but it is otherwise cherry. This is not an unpleasant smoke; just too much of a good thing for my tastebuds.

Room note is phenomenal. Burns decently with no excessive relights once you get it going.

If you don’t want the full force of the cherry this would be a great tobacco to blend with some other stuff….I am working on the proportions for a mix with Sutliff Vanilla Custard, plain black cavendish and some Carter Hall.

This tobacco accomplishes what it sets out to do…be a very strong cherry aromatic. For that and it’s potential to be a great blending component I give it two and a half stars.

This is all about the CHERRY! In the jar I just get tons of cherry, no tobacco, sort of that fake cherry smell. It reminds me of Ludens cough drops from when I was a kid. Upon first light, its, you guessed it cherry. Some nuttiness from the burly does start to show through, once I started smoking. Almost an amaretto type nuttiness that was very pleasant. I noticed a slight bite if puffed to quickly, so puff at a slow to reasonable pace, to prevent tongue bite. The room note is a very pleasant cherry aroma. This could be a nice after a meal, dessert type smoke. My wife does like the smell of this one, so that is a plus. I do enjoy aromatics, but I would say this one is not at the top of the list for me. But if you enjoy all things cherry, give it a try.
