Is the Old Discontinued Lane Edgeworth Ready Rub Desirable?

[RonB]

I bought two 14 oz tubs of the Lane Edgeworth Ready Rub tobacco back in 2008 when it was discontinued or announced to be discontinued. I payed a premium for them then. I've smoked part of one tin. I was curious if this is a desirable / collectible tobacco today or if the Sutliff Match makes it just a run of the mill tobacco.

Thanks for your opinions.

I believe they are still readily available? And looks to be about $45 for a 14 oz tub.

I would personally be curious to see what almost 20 years does for a topped burley blend, but the age is the only 'added market value' here.

I wonder why it the name wasn't changed to Sutliff Ready Rubbed? ...since Lane is a company that still exists.

This is like the damn studio film credits at the beginning of a movie - remember when there was just one outfit that made the movie?

You would see the lion or the Warner Bros logo and that was it. Now the first twenty minutes is a recital of the ten or twelve firms working on the thing, each with its own glitzy presentation and logos and theme music, then ... nope, not the movie, more crap. Followed by, you guessed it, more preparatory bullshit and more logos and more theme music (in Dolby TC wizbang CXXII 3.0! Stereo ultrasound!).

Makes you long for a nice white pouch that says “pipe tobacco”. ?

And if some wiseass ever invents a musical ad that plays a commercial upon opening the pouch along with an Oscar speech thanking the sponsors I’m giving up pipe smoking and taking up dope.

Okay, I think I’m done ranting now. As you might have guessed, the naming rights madness gets me a bit riled up, lol. ?

I didn't realize that you could only get it through Pipesandcigars.

Wow, I did not realize Lane had reintroduced it under the shortened name. Thanks. Tobaccoreviews.com says the Lane Edgeworth RR is still discontinued which maybe it technically under the full name.

I “might” have been just making that up in my rant. ?

At $45 a tub its not pricey so what the hell smoke the stuff.

TR lists the original Edgeworth Ready Rubbed as discontinued because it was. The current Lane Limited Ready Rubbed version is based on the original formula, but my guess is that it is listed separately because it's a different manufacture reintroduced years after the old one ceased production. Lane doesn't own the rights to the Edgeworth name, so they can't use it. Sutliff had to change the name of their Match version to "Ready Rubbed" for the same reason.

Thanks for your opinions.

While they are close to being the same blend, I can detect a few minor differences. Whether you prefer one to the other really depends on your personal preference. Both have their place in our world.

What about a tub of the original Edgeworth brand? Would that be highly prized?

The right person would pay a $100 for a sealed tub.

I'd pay $100 for a sealed tub of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. I smoke the Lane Limited Ready Rubbed and I love it. That and Prince Albert are my favorite burley blends.
