Lane Limited Lane Limited Ready Rubbed

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!

Lane Limited Ready Rubbed (LLRR) is a pretty straight forward simple tobacco. The pouch note is slightly sour and woody with the molasses and cocoa topping lightly coming through. The smoke is simple with zero complexity, which isn’t a bad thing most times. It is woody and slightly nutty with a chocolate overtone, there is also molasses which to me tastes like muted brown sugar. There is also a sour note in the smoke which must also come from the burley. I have read other reviews that claim there are Virginia’s in the blend but the tin description does not state that and I cannot taste them (that doesn’t mean they aren’t there I guess). Overall this is a good mindless smoke and is nice for two things in my opinion: First is when you are working and don’t have the ability to pay much mind to what you are smoking. 2nd, and maybe most important, it is GREAT to break in a new pipe as it builds up cake quickly and to me that sour note you get is very similar to new briar toasting, so you can mask that flavor if you so desire.

I hate Burley, that is what I have always told myself. It's a filler, tasteless, bitter and used in cigarettes. I have tried many Burley blends and was not impressed. LLRR has changed all that for me. This is delicious,delicate and right on the spot with flavor. I normally stay away from aromatics but the topping on here is done with a delicate hand. There is PG is in here but it dosen't seem to effect the blend in my opinion. I had a pouch laying around for a while and reached for it one day and that was it, I really enjoyed it. I am now working through a tub. Simple and easy, an all day smoke. Recommended Smoke in peace- Lager (formerly budman)

Lane Limited RR

The course like cubes have a little moisture. I scooped/packed and added fire. It lights easily.

I mostly get a nutty, dry, burley taste. I sense a little wood, and a very minor amount of sweetness. I’m not sure if there’s a topping, because I don’t taste any.

It’s almost medium in body, with a light amount of nicotine. It burns at a moderate pace, and can get harsh, especially with quick puffs. As I got towards the bottom, it became steadily harsh. It left a burnt, dry aftertaste.

While there are other better burley blends, It’s not unpleasant. It’s a garden variety burley.

As easy as it gets. dip the pipe in the pouch and scoop in some leaf, light, and enjoy and hours worth of smoke. Burley, that's it. Just enjoy the smoke while chasing the kids off the lawn and figuring out exactly where the world went to hell. . Put it in the category of the the prince, Kentucky club, and velvet. great smoke all day any day.

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.

A very simple, mild, straight forward tobacco. The cut and moisture were near perfect for loading the pipe. First impression on lighting up was the nutty burley, followed by a faint hint of chocolate. Towards the end of the bowl the grassy Virginians kicked in just a bit. Never did taste any molasses. This is definitely a mild all day smoke.
