Lane Limited Lane Limited Ready Rubbed

(3.22)
For years, smokers revered the dark blue tin and pouch of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, widely considered one of the smoothest burley blends ever. Toward the end of its run it was made by Lane Limited, and Lane production was acclaimed, but Lane lost the right to use the name. Due to huge demand, Lane is bringing back this blend under the new name Lane Limited Ready Rubbed. An old favorite has returned.

Have waited for this one to come on the market and when it did I ordered 2 cans. I am glad I did! Excellent flavor profile with the hint of Va. The coco and molasses are there but not so much to overwhelm. I found this blend to smoke cool and somewhat dry, (or dry considering the humidity has been really high here on the creek), no bite in this burley blend. Since receiving my order last Thursday morning in the morning post I have smoke several bowls, (20 +). Have found it to be consistent in flavor and burn in various bowl thicknesses and types. I can really find nothing bad about this re-creation of an American classic. I highly recommend this blend to anyone who wants to get a feel for a great old time flavor.

I Never had the pleasure to try the original, but if LL Ready Rubbed is within the ballpark then wow! I have been reading about this blend for quite some time, so when I finally purchased a pouch I had pretty high expectations. Not to spoil my review, but the stuff lives up to the hype! The pouch note was fairly simple with aroma of plum and what I felt was subtle clove. At false light I was a little concerned as my initial taste was a cigarette hit, but following the true light and a few sips the acrid note subsided. It might have been from the matchstick I used, not letting the flame creep up the stick enough. A few puffs into the bowl brought me fresh cut grass and a hint of something medicinal I could never quite grasp. I noted the nuttiness from the Burley which I compared to pistachio and enjoyed the well rounded bittersweet chocolate topping that isn't over the top. Burns really well with only one relight which was just a kiss of flame and some tampering to get the plumes of white stuff rolling again. Very impressed with the overall experience and the price! 4 stars for sure and a must try for all and every piper out there!

I am not old enough to remember the original version of this tobacco. But if this was one of those tins you could have picked up in your local drugstore, It would be very nice indeed. I can see myself going to my local store and picking up a tub of both Prince Albert and this on an idle Saturday. Those days are gone before I could remember them. The tobacco arrived a little dry. The smell from the pouch was of good earthy Burley. There is no topping like with the Prince. And, even though some say there is Latakia in the blend, I do not detect any of that leaf. The Virginias are there as a supporting component. But this is for Burley lovers like myself. As expected, it packs and lights easily with no fuss and gets right down to business. The flavor is medium and the smoke is plentiful. However, it is not as creamy as Prince Albert. The aroma is of good earthy Burley. Think wet leather and even a beer essence in the smell. The taste stays the same throughout the bowl.There is no tongue bite and I did not require more than two lights; the first being the charring light and the next being the full light. The ash is fine and a little darker than what I expected. I recommend this tobacco for the working man with a faithful briar that has been with him through hell and back. I recommend this for those who enjoy black coffee in a steel thermos or hearty beer from a tall stein. This is also for the man on the back porch in early Summer. The aroma will not win any friends or admirers, but this is the kind of tobacco that stays when times are tough because it is not complex and stands ready to get to it whenever you are. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the nic hit is on the milder side, but I will still buy a tub of this next time and not just a pouch.

Love love love this stuff... A mild burley with just the right amount of toppings... Nutty, chocolate, molasses... Also a big fan of the cut. Just scoop it up with the pipe, gently tamp it, and scoop some more. Lights, burns and smokes perfectly. What else can you say... If I had only one tobacco to smoke for the rest of my life, this might be it...

(No review yet, Pipestud ?! What's holding you up, you're going to love this one if you haven't tried it yet.)

I had the legendary Edgeworth RR as a child, thanks be to God, and I can still remember that wonderful pouch note 40 years later. Even the evil Stalin couldn't resist it.

This isn't it...but I think the it's closest thing we are ever going to get.

Awesome Burley flavor and a great cube cut similar to the original. Burns terrific, no bite. My second favorite Burley to date, just behind Solani. Absolutely top drawer : 4 stars.
