Lane Limited Used To Be What?

[mso489]

Lane Limited Ready-Rubbed, pictured in the PC paper catalog, "was known by another name" it says. Okay, so what name did this blend previously use? I've seen this text in several catalogs and I have always been curious but never seen it discussed. This is 14 oz tub tobacco.

Edgeworth Readying Rubbed. Lane bought the recipe but couldn't get the name.

I believe it was Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed.

COPIED FROM WOODSROOD... Hope you don't mind, it was the first image that came up...

Not at all, Hawky.

How is it? Is the newly named version the same?

Used to like Edgeworth slices when it was made in the US. Not an everyday smoke for me, but pretty flavorful as a change of pace from VaPers and Balkans.

Iirc, Jim's review compares it to the original.

Actually since Jims original review Lane has changed the baccy. Different cut and changed the casing around. He promissed an updated review.

I never had the original,but Lane RR is darned good stuff. I smoke a lot of it.

 

[aldecaker]

Definitely good stuff. I recommend it highly, and the price, so far, isn't bad either.

No one mentions any flavorings. Is it non-aromatic? I usually like burley blends, even aros, as long as they are tobacco forward.

 

[hawky454]

Although I have the large tin, I haven't smoked any yet but I hear it's a light aromatic in the same vein as Prince Albert or Charter Hall. Lightly topped with cocoa and vanilla notes but with the tobacco being a major player. I certainly hope it's better than the two I mentioned as I get a weird chemical taste with those.

 

[aldecaker]

Definitely tobacco-forward. If I could say it reminds me of any other blend, it would be Classic Burley Kake. It's just not as "wet" as CBK, in my experience. It doesn't have that soft, almost velvety texture CBK has.

I was going to compliment the photographer, but after learning it was Dan, phooey! He knows he's good.

My dogs took that picture.

Most of my comments here are really posted by them.

Sounds like another tub tobacco classic, a worthy buy when the hoarding impulse strikes.
