Lane Limited Black Raspberry

You can taste the raspberry flavour, it's not too strong, but definitely there. Smoked just fine for me. Not bad at all. Wasn't a hard-kicker in terms of nicotine strength.

Won't go into too much depth, this is more for me to remember what it was like.

I love this. Right in my wheelhouse.

From the packaging I had a good deep tobacco odor with the added black raspberry, very pleasing.

Had to let it dry for a bit. Lit well with minimal relights. No tongue bite for me. Very pleasant flavor with of course black cherry with the depth of tobacco. It did leave a wet mess at the bottom of my pipe that cleaned easily. After taste was very pleasent, lasting quite a long time.

Here we go. The most striking thing about this blend is that the tobacco isn't overwhelmed despite the heavy Black Raspberry flavoring/casing. Opening the tin, the tabacky is sticky but not goopy. Black Raspberry is not one of my favorite flavors, and I probably wouldn't have bought the tin if it weren't part of a deal that included a basket pipe and two tins of different Lane aromatics. Regardless, I smoked the tin and enjoyed it. The Black Raspberry was surprisingly lighter than expected. I can't say I noticed the burley but the toasty flavor burnt Cavendish was very nice. I can't say enough, it was a much less a heavy flavored -candy-dessert aromatic than expected. The Black raspberry flavor is NOT as heavy or pronounced as the vanilla in Lane BCA! Enjoyable.

Same as Habenero, I could also smell the raspberry when I picked up my box (I bet the delivery van smelt good, lol) It's interesting the various comments that shows how mileage really does vary between smokers.

This is a raspberry through & through. Pouch note is strong & lovely. Expecting moist I was surprised that it smoked right out of the bag. It is sweet but never in a sickly way. It is surprisingly cool in my little Dr Grabow Duke. Burns to a grey/white ash. Leaves little moisture, if any. I've got a sensitive tongue but there's no tongue bite. Like others I can smell the room note while smoking which is very pleasant.

Typically with many strongly cased & moist aromatics, I tone them down with Virginia (Windsail). Surprisingly, this isn't necessary with BR. I'll definitely be experimenting with BR as a blending tobacco with other aro's, in very small quantities to begin with as I'm sure it would easily dominate. Low in nicotine [As an ex-40-a-day cigarette smoker, I now prefer little Vit N]

This is a very pleasant & enjoyable smoke. Sure it's a bit one-dimensional but that doesn't detract from the experience. A bowl after dinner is enough for me but could easily be an all day smoke for some. Those around the smoke will also enjoy Black Raspberry. Highly recommended for aromatic lovers.

Update 18/Nov/2019; After a year jarred, the flavouring has toned down quite a bit. Now I can taste tobacco, lol. Either way, fresh or with a little age, both are good.

This is one of the few aromatics that actually tastes like it smells. This would be a great introduction to a new pipe smoker. Great tobacco For Those looking for one that has the flavor of a dessert.

the taste of raspberry is thin. smell is good. taste like half diluted raspberry juice with water. the taste of chemical makes it a nono to try it again. sweetness is also diluted very mild. there are no other character. for an aromatic it should be much better.

I wanted raspberry and that's what I got with this tobacco. The flavor is top notch and doesn't change or get funky the more you smoke it although I did not smoke it to the bottom of the bowl. There is something welcoming or familiar to this tobacco..reminds me of grandma's jam for breakfast on those weekends long ago. I will not smoke this one all day every day but I will have those binge smokes with this one and not feel any guilt at all!

The Better 1/2 bought me a couple of ounces of this as part of a Christmas package - I immediately jarred half under heat, smoked the remainder quickly.

I appreciate the quality of the cav in this blend, as well as the interaction between the Cavendish and Burley... smokes cool to the point where there is a menthol -like component (only as it pertains to the coolness that comes along for me as the bowl burns).

Great raspberry smell, not as much translation as it relates to actual favor, but would be a very respectable all day smoke.

Good for aro lovers as well as burley fans.

I really really like berry flavoring. Iwan Ries Dr. Bradley is one of my all time favorites. I enjoyed this tobacco, but it just did not have enough berry flavor and what there was tasted artificial. Two and half stars.
