Perhaps the "125th Anniversary" hype caused my expectations to rise, thinking "this must be the good stuff!" It sure smelled nice with some sweet Virginia, a hint of something sour, and just an overall mellow aroma that advertised easy smoking ahead.
The test drive did not match the floor model. The mix was dry and had to be packed lighter than I would of liked (or it didn't breathe) which only added to how hot it burned. The bowl inevitably filled up with a swimming pool of spittle. Things became bitter and the subtle grassy flavor I was expecting from the tin opening never developed. I was confused and wondered who switched the contents when I wasn't looking, it just felt cheap.
Perhaps this truly IS a match to what Lane created 125 years ago, maybe in the early days of production their tobacco sucked?
