Lane Limited BCA

I just got some of this in an order from wvsmokeshop.com (highly recommend them!) and at first I thought it was exactly the same as Captain Black black. But it is a little better and I recommend this to mix with any burley OTC or by itself, not too much by itself.

My favorite baccy among the Lane Limited line up. About every shop has a big jar of this, so it is readily available and inexpensive.

BCA burns very cool, smooth and is quite tasty. The vanilla/chocolate/caramel casing tends to cause the typical aromatic goop but bystanders will definitely enjoy the room note.

Being a ex-cig smoker, this baccy's nicotine level is way too low; and I do not enjoy aromatics anymore, but i still recommend this baccy if it suits your tastes.

This is a tobacco I always have around. Now granted I mix this 50/50 with PA to make it burn better and add a little more taste. I think anyone who likes aromatics should at least try it. Cheap and a great room note. Yes very one dimensional but we are talking bulk aromatics here.

Another great Lane Limited aromatic. Slightly sweeter and smoother than 1Q. A unique smoke.

Did alot of reviews on BCs, this is a fine smoke for blending, not bad, not horrible, yea, try it,... its pleasent alone, brightens up some blends. 2 stars

Very nice aroma from the jar. When smoked has a very pleasant room note, produces huge clouds of fragrant smoke, does not bite, but does not have much flavor either. Make sure you let it dry out on a plate for at least a half-a-day if you do not want to go through a box of matches keeping it lit. If you enjoy a bland, almost flavorless smoke that smells wonderfully good, this is for you.

On the other hand, it makes a great blending tobacco. Blend one-third Lane BCA with two-thirds Lane 1Q, and let it air dry out on a plate for 24 hours. Makes a delighful aromatic smoke. In the world of aromatics, you will not find a better blend than Lane 1Q+BCA, IMHO.

This is the finest American black Cavendish and the best blend ever created by lane limited, smoke it as it is or use it for blending, this tobacco works in every single way. Definitely it is the best of its class.

For me, BCA is the comfort food of pipe tobacco. There's nothing complex about it, but it always hits the spot with its sweet aroma and taste. The tobacco is wet, but does not give me any tongue bite. It's also priced right. So while it does not have the complexity of a nice English tobacco, it's sometimes nice to go back to basics.

This is a well known all black cavendish, sold under just as many names as there are tobacco shops that stock it. Every single pipe shop has it. It's been called Ebony, Onyx, Spanish Galleon, and I also suspect that Midnight from Tinder Box is the same stuff. Thick, creamy smoke is produced, and just about everyone around compares it to baking cookies or other kind of sugary goodness. This one will always get compliments.

Typically when this is purchased in bulk, it's usually quite wet and sticky. I find it works best for me if I put it in a roll-up tobacco pouch and let it sit around for a few weeks. Coming from cigars, I always operated under the assumption that drying a tobacco out was a cardinal sin. I came across some BCA that I had in a Tupperware container from some months ago, and that heavy stickiness had faded. What an eye-opening experience! That ?curing time? helped to reduce any heavy dampness and goop left at the bottom of my pipe at the end of the smoke. While I tolerate this blend fresh, it's a favorite of mine after the pouch treatment. I've found dedicating a pipe to this blend (or a pipe to heavier aromatics) works best.
