Lane Limited BCA

Well, I saw all the 4 star reviews and have been hoping to find a mild, low nicotine, aromatic. So this got my attention. I bought 8 ounces to fill a tobacco jar I got for Christmas. The first smoke, on an empty stomach, I got a little headache and decided to quit after smoking half a bowl. But, ..the smoke was pleasant, no bite, burns well, nice aroma, lots of smoke, and could even blow smoke rings! I was hoping for a little more taste. I like the rum tobacco most of all. So I'll give this another go after dinner some night.

This is the backbone of the Lane flavor-very clearly. This is not a complex or dynamic tobacco, rather the contrary, it is a soloist that is normally heard with a full orchestra (1Q, HGL, RLP-6) and you finally get to to hear them play on their own-simply stunning. Burns perfectly albeit not billows of smoke but a nice steady stream. I chugged in it and couldn't get it to bite and I am very sinsitive to bite (my mouth blisters just looking at a tin of anything from MacBarens).

I smoked this with friends who are cigar smokers and usually stay far away when I am smoking my Latakia English blends, this one they loved. I even smelt it as I was leaving their house in the yard 10 minutes later and lingering aroma was amazing.

This would bore me as an all day smoker (been loving Lane Black & Burley as my daily lately which is apparently BWTB & BCA) but used as a blender (some white Burley and a touch of Latakia-hello!!) or as a desert treat, I can see it being in my regular rotation.

Lane BCA is a AVERAGE Blk. Cav. based on the RATINGS. It should be better. I would suggest that STG/Lane make a new blend and call ir BCA-XXXX or PREMIUM. Start out with premium aged leaf and flavoring, Aim for a 4 plus rating. Make it better then the current Black Cav. blends in the market. Pre Package it in 10 oz. tamper proof bags. The price if possible $ 34.00 or less. Every month I work this site to death hunting for a good black cav. I am in my mid 80's and I want to take a package or 2 with me in case they do not have any good tobacco at my final resting place.

I tried lane limited 1-q first and loved it Smelled amazing out the tin, saw this had a better review so I had to try it. Have to say, very very pleased. Love it. Top choice so far. Frog mortens cellar is my worst. Just to give you an idea where I'm at if you've tried them. I'm an aromatic smoker so frog mortens cellar wasn't a good choice. It had descent reviews but not for me. If you love vanilla flavoring and smooth easy smoking with no drying I recommend this blend. So far all lane limited have been this great.

I have yet to find a better Black Cavendish Aromatic. There are notes of vanilla, caramel, and perhaps baked goods. The room note is pleasing to all but the most virulent non-smoker. Benefits from a little dry time. Burns cool does not bite. I would never want to be without a supply of Lane's BCA.

First I find this blend smokes best in a Meerschaum pipe. It smells fairly nice just won't jump out with aroma. I smell mostly chocolate. Lights a little rough as there seems to be a bit of moisture there. Room note is nice with chocolate and coffee smells. Taste is fairly subdued with swirls of chocolate, vanilla, and coffee from time to time. Burns really pretty cool for a aromatic. This is what I call a pleasing blend. It will not knock you down with flavor but it is certainly a pleasant smoke at any time of the day.

Note to viewers: this review mainly so I can keep track of the tobacco I like.

For an aromatic I really like this one for its simple smooth vanilla flavor. not as smooth as chocolate cream, but simple, nice room note. would get again.

BCA is a very good aromatic. Jet black cavendish that has been pleasing pipers for many moons. The flavor is soft and semi-Sweet without any possibility of a bite. The room note is like warm brownies, fresh from the oven. A really good tobacco to keep on hand. I like to mix X-40 Burley with this. I call the blend New Moon. It's very good.

There many black cav's on the market,but if you want the best BCA is the only choice IMHO.This is the most relaxing Aro around,and it's been around a long long time. Want a real conversation with your pipe?, pack it with BCA,it will never interrupt,always eager to please like any friend .Taste is as near to pure pleasure as you can get,vanilla,Carmel maybe a bit of chocolate.mild nic. hit if any. Top to bottom it's the same, year after year it is still the same. If Lane Limited made one blend and only one, if it where BCA they be in business for the next hundred years..... Then try the new Dark Red,just the same only dark cherries, Both are addicting enjoy.
