Lane Limited A-100
(2.00)
AAA Latakia combined with pure Virginias and exotic Turkish form a popular, robust mixture for the experienced smoker or a great change of pace for the aromatic devotee. Since A-100 aroma comes from pure tobaccos, no foreign flavorings were used.

I smoked this as a "first" English style tobacco, and I thought it was good at the time. Since then, however, I have moved on to other mixtures.
Just enough Turkish and Latakia to let you know they're there. The Virginia is mellow, no real bite to this blend.
As a beginning smoke for the aromatic smoker just starting to explore the world of 'natural' tobacco, A-100 fits the bill nicely.
Unfortunately, before long, you'll start wanting more, and A-100 will begin to seem bland.
A-100 served its purpose, and got me on the way toward tobaccos like 965, Nightcap, etc. I love them, and I would probably never have gotten to them had it not been for A-100.

Well I figured I would give this a try as it is available in bulk in most shops either under the name A-100 or a shop name. To give you some perspective on my tastes, I am a Dunhill 965 fan.
In any event, I thought the tin (I mean jar) aroma was pleasant. A nice basic English blend. The cut of the tobacco was nice, a bit coarser than Dunhill and closer to the cut coming from Pease or C & D. It looked like a fairly even blend of Virginias, Orientals and Latakia. All in all pretty good.
Here is where the fun stopped for me. The flavor was far too mild. Not much body at all. The Latakia flavor was fairly faint (although the room aroma is Latakia). Kind of bland.
This is not a bad tobacco, per se, and probably would be good for someone trying to get acquianted with English blends. But not enough there for me. Sorry Lane.
