Lane Limited BLWB

One word: NASTY

20 years ago this was an entirely different tobacco. Back then it was in big chunks, kind of an 'irregular cube' cut.

We had our pipe smoking contest tonight and when I heard that we would be using Burley Light I wasn't too sad; From what I remembered this was a cool smoking and fairly decent tobacco for an aromatic.

This current stuff resembles floor sweepings! The cut is nothing like it used to be and the moisture content must have been 25% or more.

Sorry guys, this stuff is horrid. If you want a decent aromatic buy some Captain Black "White Label" and be done with it.

Very bland.... waste of money. I won't waste your time with a long review. Just go for Prince Albert or any other burley instead. Great for people who like the taste of cigarettes.

This will be a short review. No taste, just warm air. I'm not joking this had zero flavor for me. I don't know what else to say. You have been warned.

Beats me how anyone can say this is not an aromatic or that the flavourings are mild. Make no mistake, as I did, in thinking this would be a straight or nearly straight Burley.

I had expected something in the old codger OTC style, something like Carter Hall or similar; a burley with a top dressing just to give a bland burley a bit of presence and a nice room note. What I got was a full blown aro with artificial aromas that might be more familiar in a shampoo. Coconut? Maybe. It is sweet and sickly and to my tastes, unpleasant. It is also moist in a humectant kind of way. It might not bite but it certainly left an oily residue in my mouth. Ever caught a bit of shampoo in your mouth while showering? Just like that.

I'm not anti aromatic tobacco, tho it isn't usually my thing, but I am very anti poor or dishonest labelling. Not recommended.

This is my second review of this tobacco. Originally, it started off as a great starter for first-timers. I would have recommended it to anyone who wanted to start smoking a pipe. It smelled good in the bag and was mild and easy to light. But whoa, was I wrong. The second time I smoked it, it was bitter and awful. That goop others had mentioned, not apparent in the first bowl, was like a thick disgusting tar on the second. It seems to have left an everlasting taint requiring me to remove all the cake and go to the alcohol method of cleaning the entire pipe. I'm just glad I didn't use my meer. Horrible stuff!

I’m a burley guy. This was on my list as a must try but my expectations were tempered heading into this because simply said (in my opinion); Lane pipe tobacco is one small step above budget bags of tobacco in taste and quality. Sorry but for me, Lane gets no love. The best part of this was the unlit aroma. Once lit and puffed, it was all downhill from there, and quickly like an avalanche. So you get it, I have nothing good to say here. There are literally 100 other burley blends out there to try over this one and I’d suggest you do.

I made an error when I ordered BLWB..it was my error, not the tobacco's failure..it just isn't what I expected..

I may salvage it yet..I have some Shandygaff that I find terribly bitter..I will try mixing the two at different levels to make an attempt at saving both orders..

Just not my cup..

When I stuck my nose in the jar at my tobaccanist's shop it smelled sweet and smooth. I was let down with hopes that it would smoke accordingly. I was disappointed to say the least. Smoked a full chamber twice and won't torture myself to try to like it again.

I bought four ounces of this a long time ago when I started sampling burley pipe tobaccos. I still have most of it in a jar.

This burley blend is entirely too wet and too mild for me. The room note is pleasant, but the taste to me is flat and I detect virtually no nicotine content. It smells good in the pouch, sort of a honey aroma, but the taste, flavor, and strength can't compare to Carter Hall or Prince Albert in my opinion.

Only one star for Burley Light Without A Bite.
