Lane Limited LL-7

Here is my take on Lane's LL-7 in a nutshell. If you like Lane 1-Q then you will probably like LL-7. I find that the aroma of the unlit tobacco is the same between the two. The room note is also very similar. I think the added burley in this blend gives you more 'mouth feel' as people like to say. Personally I find that I get a tad more flavor and mouth feel from LL-7 than I do with 1-Q. So much so that I will be smoking this from now on vs 1-Q. The cut is the same between the two: ribbon. Same packing, lighting and smoking qualities. I get a sweetish vanilla taste along with a few random hints of chocolate. I also get a taste of nuts from time to time. Most likely from the burley in my estimation. Nicotine wise it seems pretty mild, very similar to 1-Q. I have nothing against 1-Q and will probably enjoy again in the future but I think I'll turn to LL-7 more often in the foreseeable future. 4 stars, recommend very much!

As many people have pointed out, LL-7 is very similar to 1Q and RPL-6 in that it's a smooth, mild, easy smoking tobacco available at a very attractive price. Judged by itself, this is a four star tobacco. Comparing it to the others, I'd say that this is of slightly darker tone to 1Q, and certainly nothing like the fruitiness of RPL-6. For my own taste I prefer 1Q which seems to have just the right balance of taste, whereas I find LL-7 a little too dark. LL-7 seems to have all the emphasis in the bass notes, whereas 1Q is the full orchestra.

Another four star offering from Lane. I must admit that I was hoping for something a little different. Lane already has the top selling tobaccos in the USA in 1Q and RPL-6, and I rather hoped for something perhaps slightly stronger than their very mild, nicotine-less aromatics. But LL-7 is just another in the same vein. No harm in that, but I'll stick with 1Q. In fact when my supply of 1Q runs out I'll go back to Captain Black Royal, which I think is better than all three of the Lane bulk aromatic tobaccos.

I am excited to review LL7 one of Lanes better aromatic blends next to RLP6 and 1Q this blend is something else. A few months ago I had some BCA and 1Q and decided to mix it up and forgot about it until last night, I packed a bowl a realized wow!!! this taste so much like LL7 and told my wife this like I made a huge discovery or something. The only difference was the BCA-1Q mixture was alittle sweeter and the Black Cavendish was alittle more defined as LL7 is not as sweet and has a different kind of a spicy hint to it that 1Q and RLP6 does not have but that's a good thing let me tell you what. LL7 besides being so dang smooth has this chocolate liquor flavor with a touch of marshmallow just rocks my world and is so enjoyable I look forward everytime I pack a bowl of this wonderful aromatic blend and goes perfect with a cup of coffee or after dinner. The fact that it is not a goopy overly moist tobacco blend and its a beautiful color and keeps your nose (yes your nose) coming back to the jar to sniff the stuff because the smell is as good as the taste. I am not sure what gives it the mild spicy note it has to it but I like that when smoking LL7 and keeps it interesting every single time you smoke it, I think a touch of perique would go very well in this blend once on awhile and one could play around with it blending other types of tobaccos and create something really delightful. The nicotine level is low amd the room note is very pleasant which is a plus for those who have picky other halfs, thank the Lord I dont face that problem because my wife likes the camp fire smell to, isn't that awesome?!?!?!!! Yes it is... I highly recommend this fine aromatic and is perfect for a novice pipe smoker and a perfect all day smoke hands down. Good job and two thumbs up Lane Limited for a worthy pipe tobacco please keep this one on the market because I will help support and keep this blend alive and well. If you like 1Q and RLP6 you will like LL7, give it a go because you will buy more, I would also recommend buying at least 4oz as the perfect size sampler cause you wanna know why? You'll smoke the heck out of it and be really bummed out when you run out, thanks for reading my review God bless America and God bless all you fellow pipe smokers. Do not forget to stand up for your tobacco smoking rights and remember McClelland as a reminder why you must support your American tobacco farmers, have a goodnight and make sure to read my other reviews where you will get a down to earth honest non-pipe yuppy tobacco review.

This is what a classic American arromatic is to smell and taste like. Lane Limited has a real winner here. This is one that I will buy by the pound.

Great scent within bag. It packs very light and easy to lit. It leaves no tongue bite and no gurgles. Bowls never gets hot and leaves no mess at end of bowl. I taste the black Cavendish, vanilla, caramel and other sweet undertones. I do enjoy every sweet retro nasal and does not leave sensitive nose at all. The room note is very pleasant. LL-7 is an outstanding aromatic.

I really like this blend. Tastes and smells great. No nasty taste or bite. Would be an all day smoke for me. Added to favourites. Good stuff.

Thin brown and black ribbons emerged almost wet from the bulk bag, the scent very reminiscent of RLP-6, although the cut is different.

This behaved particularly well in my corncob pipe after about a half hour's drying time. Loosely packed (as seems to be the key for smoking all the Lane aero offerings) produced a bowlful that after the charring light, a gentle tamping and the ignition light burned to the heel of the pipe without further relights.

I didn't know that I was becoming an aromatic tobacco fan until recently, in particular because of Lane's RLP-6 and its slightly English cousin HGL. This is slightly different from Lan'es other aromatics, but only slightly. Wheras 1-Q is the bulk version of Capt. Black Royal and RLP-6 is the bulk version of Capt. Black White, LL-7 is definitely Capt. Black Copper. Unlike its Captain cousins, the Lane bulks contain much less humectant and for me are therefore much more pleasant to smoke....not to mention a helluva lot cheaper, even with shipping from an online retailer.

Like Lane's other aeros, this one offers negligible nicotine. However, when compared with BCA and 1-Q, LL-7 and RLP-6 both offer a shade more nicotine, probably because of the inclusion of more burley in addition to the ubiquitous black Cavendish.

Flavor starts with almost a smores (i.e. graham cracker, marshmallow & milk chocolate) scent but quickly becomes more caramel-like by mid bowl. Thanks to either the blend or my body chemistry, this one doesn't even tingle my tongue, let alone bite it. I can and do smoke consecutive bowls of this; the gentle rounded tobacco flavor, lightly done toppings, low nicotine and burn characteristics make this an ideal all day smoke for me.

My experience with Lane aeros is that the best flavor is reached by mid bowl in most pipes. And like Lane's RLP-6, 1-q, BCA and others, this one sings best in a corncob pipe. An all day smoke for me if not an every day smoke; it is a bit one note and could become boring for some smokers. For me, this is a solid 4 star aromatic blend and is worth a try at the typical $2.00/ounce price point. My current order of preference for Lane's aeros is (from most enjoyed to least) would be RLP-6, LL-7, 1-Q and finally BCA...but I enjoy all four and keep at least two of the four in regular rotation.

This is by far the most interesting and enjoyable aromatic tobacco I've had the pleasure to smoke. Not being one who likes aromatic blend this is a nice blend. From start to finish it consistently stayed the same flavor. Most blends lose flavor or get bitter. Whatever you taste at first light is still when you empty the bowl.

Wow! This is a good aromatic tobacco! It actually has flavor—flavor that’s balanced between the tobaccos and the topping, and, doesn’t have a dedicated agenda to destroy your tongue! The aroma, both in the tin and in the air, is very pleasant. The smoke has enough body to make the retro-hale noticeable and a pleasant sensation. This is a contender for the best all-day, any day aromatic.
