This is a good morning blend for me because I drink it with a cup of coffee every morning and I like to smoke it in the evening to. It kinda reminds me of Captain Black Gold without the after taste and does have the hazelnut taste to it. This blend has so much more depth to it as well and you can taste the smoothness of the Virginia's and the burley really helps with the nutty taste and cuts the bite out of what the Virginia's would do if the burley was not present. The Cavendish is what makes it taste alittle like the Captain Black Gold but Hazelnut is still nothing like Gold in just saying it reminds me of that blend so please don't think I'm saying it's like Gold because I'm not, its very smooth and actually has some nicotine, not a ton of it but I noticed it does have alittle more then most of Lanes aromatic blends it must be because its main base is Virginia's so that could explain it but in glad it does the way it does because it goes perfect with coffee. Its nutty tones is very light but very good and its not super sweet which is perfect but it is sweet enough to be very enjoyable but not goopy and a wet tounge biting smoke. Very well rounded and I recommend this to a new pipe smoker anyday because its a great all day smoke and to a seasoned pipe smoker who has never tried it because its not a in your face over done typical aromatic and actually taste good, no chemical taste no low grade tobaccos, does not taste artificial and is nice and mild. I give it two thumbs up because I appreciate for what it is. It reminds me of McClellands just plain nut but topped with hazelnut and its affordable you just can't beat that. Have a good night and God bless all you fellow pipe smokers!!!

Ye aromatic blasters begone forsooth! My son is visiting from St. Louis and had in his pipe kit a sample packet of Lane Hazlet by Scandinavian Tobacco Group - a gift from a friend who attended the Chicago Pipe Show. As it was dusk, and fearing that I would hate myself all night if I burned his pure Latakia flake (dargon breath), I chose this lovely Lane aromatic in a small gold foil packet (a sample?). Perfect choice for an evening smoke (though I have just bought two tins of Dunhill Nightcap). I smoked a bowl full in the little 1969 Dunhill I gave him for his 40th birthday (b. 1969). Delightful! Waking at 2 AM to attend to a call of nature, I found that the taste in my mouth was pleasant, and I purposed to make a search for this bakky to be among my first activities of the morning... why I'm here. - LongJnSilver, Pipe Club of London

This is one blend that was hidden away for a while. When Scandinavian Tobacco Group purchased Lane Limited a few years back they decided it was time to dust off the recipe and revive this blend. I'm glad they did!
I first sampled it at the West Coast Pipe Show. STG was there and had a number of Lane blends available to sample. I enjoyed it so much I ordered up four ounces when I got home.
It's a wonderful blend. A good combination of quality Virginia, Burley, and Cavendish with a wonderful top dressing of hazelnut.
The moisture level is optimum. It doesn't require any drying time. It won't make the pipe gurgle or leave a sticky mess in the bottom of the bowl.
On the light up you get a good dose of the hazelnut flavor. It's almost like a nice hazelnut coffee creamer, nutty and creamy. After the initial light up the top dressing dances with the tobacco flavors. You get a bit of the nuttiness from the Burley and sweetness from the Virginia. It's not a complex flavor, but one that is balanced well between tobacco and top dressing.
As long as you keep a nice rhythm it smokes rather cool. I haven't had any problems with it biting. It's a blend that I could smoke all day every day.
As far as room note goes I've had nothing but compliments when smoking this blend out in public.
I'd also say it's a good blend for beginners because of how evenly the flavor is delivered and the fact that I haven't had any tongue burn or bite from it.

The cut is nice for packing. The moisture level seems about right. The bag aroma is that of a Hazelnut latte. It lights easily and burns slowly. The taste is light, but the Hazelnut flavor is certainly there. A slow cadence brings the best results. For the tobacco, Virginia takes the lead role while the other components harmonize. How aromatic is this tobacco? After lighting one bowl, my wife INSISTED that I get two more pounds. She is a non-smoker so that should tell you something. The flavor does not change throughout the bowl. The only negative is that is gets a little harsh on a re-light. The nicotine level seems low. Goes great with coffee. The ash is fine and jumps out of the bowl when you are done. If you need a crowd pleaser that won't bite your tongue, if yu need an all-day smoke, if you prefer aromatics, this is a MUST try.

Another of Lane's excellent bulk offerings, this is exactly as the name implies - Hazelnut! Similar in cut to their 1Q, it packs and lights just as easily. In the pipe it is a cool, easy to smoke mixture that really makes a nice change of pace smoke from time to time. On it's own, its just fine. Where it shines is in mixing as a main component with other tobaccos. Want to make it a little more interesting? Add about 1/4 BCA to 3/4 Hazelnut for a delicious smoke. Want a smokey nutty taste? Add 1/4 Latakia to 3/4 Hazelnut to it. Want more complex? Try 1/4 Latakia and 1/4 BCA and 1/2 Hazelnut. Simply awesome. This tobacco is a 3 star all on it's own but as a mixer, it's a 4 star tobacco.

I am a fan of Lane's aromatics & LL-7 is just about my favorite right now.
Hazelnut has that particular Captain Black Royal/LL-7 distinctive flavor to it but with a little more nuttiness. If one likes that over all flavor, but feels the LL-7 is too goopy, or the casing is too heavy sweet, then this may be a good alternative. It is definately a much lighter tobacco & makes for a great change up.

I very rarely ever smoke Lane tobacco, but I had to give this one a try. As a connoisseur of aromatic blended tobaccos I really enjoyed the aroma as it presented itself when I first opened the jar at the tobacco shop.
The first time two months ago till now I detected no harsh strong tasting tobacco and experienced no tongue bite, the aroma was a pleasant and not a sickening sweet odor. The toasted cavendish blended with the Burley and Virginia tobaccos gave this an excellent tasting tobacco.
If you are not into smoking aromatic tobacco blends this blend is not for you, if you are looking to start out with an aromatic for the first time I would not suggest this particular blend. If you are a pipe smoker who loves the full enriched flavor and aroma of a tobacco blend, then you will love this blend.
I will keep this tobacco on hand all the time
