I was gifted a couple of ounces of this blend by my boss who says he's smoked nothing else for ten years. I was doubtful at first. The aroma from the bag was rather dull and uninviting. However, I dutifully loaded up a bowl after work Thursday evening. At first I wasn't sure, but by about 1/3 of the bowl the taste began to take shape. A soft slightly nutty flavor with a mysterious sweetness I couldn't identify. No bite at all. I have smoked nothing else for three days now and I think I'm in love. I would prefer a bit more nicotine, but the fullness of the smoke and the ease of packing and burning is very pleasing and thought free. I might try mixing in a little of my favorite smoke, Royal Yacht, for a nic boost. My question is does anyone know which of the Lane's Limited blends this might be, if in fact it is a Lane's tobacco marketed under a different name. I suspect it might be Burly Light Without the Bite (BLWB). I'd like to order some from one of our sponsors.

BLWB is a tasty Burley for those who can taste Burley, which I can. I don't know Tinder Box 1. I like their Wilshire, which is Lanes Q1,

and Lanes LL-7, and also Tinder Box North Sea, which is PS Nougat. Wish I could help with this other one. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply mso. It may be that the illusive taste of the burly is why it took me a day or two to really turn on to Blend No. 1. I'll have to purchase a sample of BLWB with my next TAD to compare. I could order the Blend No. 1 from Tinder Box, but they don't have the other tobacco's I like to keep in my rotation also.
