Lane Limited TK-6

I get a very mild brown sugar from the black cavendish. The nuttiness from the burley is not very noticeable. The cherry flavor is okay, but not deep, and I got a sour note or two, plus a little syrup near the finish, which affects the after taste. The vanilla is a background player. Barely has any nicotine. Won't bite unless you puff real hard. Has a mostly consistent flavor. Burns fairly well, but will leave some moisture in the pipe, but no dottle. Still, you'll have to wipe your bowl clean when you are done. Needs a few relights. An all day work and play smoke.

My local pipe shop used to carry TK-6 but called it Very Cherry. The smell in the big glass container in the shop was wonderful. I took a couple of ounces home with me to try as an after dinner dessert. It was very pleasant and reminder me of Middleton's Cherry Blend but was much more elegant with the Virginia component and the topping was much stronger. Not a rich cherry taste, but more pronounced that I thought it would be by smelling the tobacco before lighting. No bite either.

At the West Coast Show two years ago I gave the Very Cherry a go and thoroughly enjoyed it. So, after a while of enjoying that I decided to give TK-6 a go and see if it's as good a cherry blend.

I have to say I really like TK-6. There's something about the different leaf that puts it over Very Cherry. To me it's the same cherry flavoring, but the leaf combo difference makes TK-6 stand above VC.

It comes about the same moisture level as VC and takes a light just the same. Burns nice and smooth and doesn't bite if you take your time with it. Leaves a pleasant room note.

Overall just a solid cherry blend. If you're looking for that elusive cherry tobacco or just an aromatic for a change of pace give it a try.

P.S.- Like all cherry blends it will ghost so use a pipe dedicated to cherry blends or a cob that you don't mind ghosting.

Just finished my 1st bowl of TK-6 and I really liked it. Not goopy at all, smoked great right out of the bag I received it in. Smoked the full bowl with only 1 relight and the taste and room note was great.

The best cherry blend. I have tried most of them. Non-goopy, burns longer than most, tastes like tobacco, smells even better. As usual, don't puff too hard. Three and a half stars as an Aromatic, two stars in my rotation.

Lane Limited - TK-6.

This looks quite appealing: the black cavendish is in mid-sized ribbons, but there's a few coarse pieces of Burley in there, some of which are twigs; tut, tut! I can't complain about my moisture, the blend could be smoked from the fresh pouch.

I'm with the portion of the reviewers who find the added flavouring stronger, I believe I'm the first as of yet to mark medium to strong? Although it's stronger to me, the added flavour isn't sticky, or too sweet. It doesn't totally monopolize the smoke. With the tobaccos' I get a much higher quantity of black Cavendish, and Cavendish, than I do Burley: it has the archetypal aromatic tobacco taste. I get no tongue bite, it burns well, and the smoke from TK-6 couldn't be any cooler.

The room-note's nice, and the nicotine's mild.

Tk-6? It's good, but boring; one of many of its kind.

Somewhat recommended.

Just discovered this blend and I hace to say is fantastic for my taste. If you are one of those somkers that like to change from strong to mild flavors from time to time, this is for you. You can feel the cherry taste but it doesn´t put away the fine tobacco taste. No complains from my lady either.

I smoke Lane Limited's 1-Q as my daily tobacco, and have no desire to change that. However, I was in the market for a tobacco I could go to whenever I wanted something different without leaving the realm of aromatics. This website got me interested, so I stopped by my B&M and picked up an ounce to try (they call it Take Six). I couldn't be happier! It's not going to replace 1-Q, but the burley makes it just different enough to be a nice substitute. Easy to pack, light and smoke, and the room note is very nice. I don't get the cherry, but there is certainly some kind of fruit in the pouch note. Doesn't bite at all. Give it a try!

I guess my batch was made by Arango Pipes and Cigars which is now owned by Cigars International... Not sure how this measures up to the original TK-6 but I enjoy this blend. I've tried several cherry blends and to no avail, this is the first one to get it right. you do get the flavor in the smoke, which in my mind is the true test of a good aromatic.
