I received a free sample of Lane HG-2000 from SmokingPipes the other day and only just now got around to trying it. I'm surprised to say that I actually enjoyed it. 1-Q I didn't like at all and Lane's Black Raspberry was unbearable, but this was a nice aromatic that tasted like it smelled without the bitter PG aftertaste I usually get from aromatics.
I think it would be even better mixed with some plain burley -- maybe 5 Brothers or some C&D Burley Flake. The vanilla-nut-chocolate taste would still come through, but without being overly sweet.

I agree, I got the same sample from them; I wasn't expecting much because I find a lot of aromatics smell great but the taste just isn't there. This one surprised me though. It has a great burley taste with subtle chocolate. 4/5 stars.

Try the Lane LL-7 or RLP-6 as well.I like them better than 1 Q and the HG2000.
