Lane Limited BLWB

I'm not sure if every reviewer has the same tobacco, or if this has changed over time, or if what I have sampled (sold somewhere else under a different name) is BLWB. However, I am pretty sure it is, having seen this bulk, entirely medium brown, somewhat coarsely cut, fluffy, slightly cased burley in a number of places.

Anyway I would not call this a goop laden aromatic. It is a semi-aromatic, mostly all burley blend with maybe a little brown Cavendish.

I find the flavoring very nice and it compliments the taste of the slightly nutty, buttery burley. It is light and it is hard to make this bite, no doubt.

Cleaner and better tasting than the drugstore burleys but not as strong either. I would really like this if it were a medium instead of a light ( BMWB). I can smoke this all the way to the bottom with very little or no goop, going very slowly. A solid and simple two to three star blend.

Another of Lane's ubiquitous American aromatics. This mild burley burns well, tastes nice, and smells great,like toasted coconut. It is very inexpensive, and as with many of Lane's blends, can serve as potpourri for your sock drawer. It does burn fast,and it can finish wet, so a slow, gentle puffing cadence is best. An American classic.

I would give this three stars in the American Aromatics group. It did not seem overly goopy and was well behaved overall. Would make a good starter smoke for newbies. Pretty much bite free and does burn rather quickly. Not unusual in this category.

This has one of the nicest aromas I've ever smelled, either in or out of the pipe. I just found it unsatisfying and a bit coarse toward the bottom of the bowl. I might try it again later.

Still can bite. Best out of cob. No nonsece all day smoke. In cob you can smoke all way down to a bottom. Flavouring presents only in last third of a bowl.

Smoking again 7-2-23

Bought in bulk from local cigar shop. Subtle sweet vanilla, nutty burley smell, maybe some licorice, sometimes reminds me of coconut. Very much an ode to codger OTC Burley blends. Lights easy and stays lit well. Moist but not sticky. Smoke is creamy, produces a decent amount of it.

The taste is a sweet, mild burley. More sweet than CH, SWR, or Granger. This is very much a burley blend with aromatic qualities to it. Nutty, woody, burley. A little vanilla and coconut note to sweeten it up. Burley can bite me but this is mild so it does not. Low nic levels. Nice with coffee in the morning. It’s a sweet, mild, nutty, aromatic codger blend. It’ll do. If you like sweet burley blends you’ll like this.

The more of these codger blends I smoke the more I appreciate them. Gave this 2 stars 3 years ago but today I’ll give it 3 stars for what it is.

I'm not sure I can add more than what other reviewers have already noted. It's a burley blend that wants to fight between being an aromatic and burley blend. It is somewhat monotonous, but it's not unpleasant. Smoked consistently to the bottom of the bowl. Got hints of chocolate, molasses and some coconut. I'll smoke what I have on hand but probably won't purchase any more.

Arrives moist, needs some dry time. Mixed cut, some springy ribbons and some larger chunks. Packs well once dried and needs a bit more than average number of relights. Bag notes of sweet nutty burley, dark fruits, cocoa and molasses. First flavours are the nutty sweet burley followed by the dark fruits. The cocoa is subtle but stays relevant if puffed slowly. I find this to be a great mixer with the edgeworth ready rubbed match from Lane. On its own, it is a reliable smoke that behaves well and should satisfy more times than not. 3 stars as a mixer, 2 stars as a stand-alone. I’ll give it a 3 overall.

Not a terrible smoke, but not my top choice of blends. It certainly doesn't give tongue bite as stated in the description, however like most aromatics it burns a tad hot.
