Lane Limited TK-6
(3.00)
Toasted Cavendish once again forms the mellowing flavor of this blend, but now a blend of Burley add a robust zing and a hint of cherry, just the right amount of sweetness.

A never ending search for a good cherry aromatic led me to this blend.
If there is any cherry flavouring to it...I'm just not picking it up. I'd be hard pressed to even say it had any cherry flavour.
However,
This blend is non offensive on all fronts. I would highly recommend it as a new smokers first step. Very dry smoking, gentle, pleasant aroma, absolutely no bite. You can't go wrong with this one as a newbie. It's a lamb of an aromatic.
Longtime pipers may find this a good 'light' smoke for those times of the day when heavier blends have taken their toll.
For cherry lovers and Lanes fans, go with Very Cherry for a substantially more pronounced flavour and very similar smoking qualities.

This is the best cherry blend I have tried. I mixed it with about 1/3 granulated 5 brothers to give it some nic. The blend has just the right amount of topping. It does not taste like cherry medicine or anything like that. It addition, the topping is light enough to get some real tobacco flavor.

Smoking now:
Pouch note smells like a cherry liquor.
Moisture seems ok for an aromatic, let it sit for a few minutes, it packed and lit fine.
I’m happy with the consistent flavor from this. It’s a mild burley coco and cherry flavor. Compared to Lane’s Very Cherry which was a “zesty” cherry flavor and bit me, this is more of that old school burley cavendish blend taste with nice and mild dark cherry notes throughout. No bite. Enough cherry flavor to let you know it’s a cherry blend and enough tobacco flavor to satisfy. Not as sweet as other aromatics which is nice. Decent subtle cherry flavor. Will leave moisture in the bowl.
If I wanted a cherry bulk blend I would reach for this again. If you want a cherry blend I would recommend giving it a try.

Of all of the cherry blends out there - this is one. There is nothing unique about this tobacco. The cherry flavor was minimal, perhaps a little vanilla was hiding in there. The room note was enjoyable, as with most cherry blends. Easily lit and burned well but it began to sour about half way. I would recommend Lane's Dark Red as it is light years ahead on this blend

Ooh, this is good. I tried a lot of cherry blends this year and this was one of my winners. Excellent flavor both topping and tobacco. I had a moisture-at-the-bottom-of-the-bowl issue, but that may well be my smoking technique.

I got this tobacco by accident. I ordered 2 oz. of LL-7 and I received TK-6 instead and boy am I glad. I love this tobacco. It's mild with no bite but it has a very pleasant taste. I recently went to a party and I was smoking a pipefull outside when a very lovely young lady told me that she loved the aroma and stayed outside with me until her boyfriend called her in. Obviously it has a great room note. TK-6 is now my go to tobacco. I recommend this tobacco to anyone looking for a mild when relaxing or working on a project.

I have been smoking aromatics now for 3 1/2 years and this is by far the most consistent overall best. It is not too complex and the slight cherry flavor is nice & mild. It burns very well and the room note is by far one of the most liked by my family who doesn't seem to approve any tobacco produced odor what so ever . Overall I like this better than the over the top freak aromatics like Molto Doce or Berry Nice although they are very good as well. Again that's my opinion and I do purchase a lot of Lane Limited and Peter Stokkebye bulks so I'm really comparing this to blends like Very Cherry or Cherry Bon Bon but I highly recommend this to everyone wanting to try a new aro.

This right now is my everyday tobacco. Just the right amount of cherry, and a really nice blend. I don't smoke fancy, expensive pipes, and this performs with absolutely no tongue bite. Room note is very pleasant, and I've had really nice comments about it from as far as 30 feet away. If you like ARO that isn't goopy, and is just straight forward, give this a try.

This is my "go to" tobacco. I have been smoking TK6 for years and it is the best cherry blend on the market today. It has a great room note and no complaints from the wife.
The tobacco is a great all day blend and for the most part I do smoke it all day. Morning with coffee and evening with coffee are my favorite times.
The tobacco has a great tobacco flavor with the cherry checking in when you least expect it. Not overpowering just present. Not goopy as a lot of other cherry blends and smokes all the way to the bottom with great taste. It reminds me of a light cherry smash with coke.
If you are looking for a great all day blend with a pleasant room note for others this is your blend. I buy it by the pound and always have it around.

It's been along time since I smoked anything that tasted of cherry-- and liked it. Until I tried TK-6, that is.
This is a terrific contrast to the usual sweet, vanilla or honey aromatic. The tobacco is a dry, natural black cavendish with just a little tartness and cherry flavoring. Very mild to smoke yet very pleasant and refreshing. Perfect at the end of the day if your tongue complains of one too many bowls of stronger fare.
