Lane Ready Rubbed Discontinued?

[romaso]

Pipes & Cigars, which is owned by STG which owns Lane Ltd, no longer sells Lane Ready Rubbed (says, 'No Longer Available for Purchase'). I'd noticed they no longer sold it in in bulk awhile ago.

Has Lane Ready Rubbed been discontinued?

If so, I'll have to find another nice burley with molasses for the morning. I don't go for chocolate in the morning (Sutliff Edgeworth Match, MB Golden Extra, MB Symphony, etc). Any suggestions?

I don’t know about that but most other online retailers have it in stock.

Do you know if its discontinued, i.e. should I stock up?
If the retailer owned by the manufacturer no longer stocks it, it's a bad sign...

Sutliff RR(Edgeworth match). In my opinion superior to the original. Better burley but needs some drying to reduce the cocoa.

I greatly prefer the Sutliff version, too. I have 25 pounds of it here.

The burley that Sutliff uses seems much nuttier than the original. And thanks again for bringing me to this blend!

You might try Stokkebye Cube Cut (PS 41) if you're looking for a codger blend. It can abuse your tongue if you don't sip, but is sweetened by the virginias and a slight honey casing to assist the va's. It has a lovely "nose" and very savory burleys. Just a thought.

Many pounds of it here myself.

Edger, thanks for the Stokkebye Cube Cut (PS 41) recommendation. I loved my first sample, which had sat in a plastic bag for awhile, so was surprised when I bought a pound and found the, to me, grape topping, which luckily dissipates with airing. I've even thought of using our hot air popcorn popper to speed the airing process!

Thanks several others for the Sutliff RR Match suggestions. I'll try airing it to reduce the chocolate. I usually don't even go for chocolate but liked the way it mixes with the molasses.

BTW, How sweet is Granger? Compared to say Sutliff RR Match Edgeworth or Lane Ready Rubbed?

I, too, noticed it missing at P&C, and picked up two more canisters at SP.

I think Granger is a tad less sweet. It's sweet as in raisins or figs, whereas RR is sweet as in molasses. Both are quite good.

I personally like Lane's RR better. I bought four tubs back when Prince Albert was on the lamb. The Sutliffs was like little pebbles that was next to impossible to light. I tried rubbing them out, drying it out, packing it differently, using different pipes. Plus it seemed to have a marshmallow smell to it. I was not happy because from all the rave reviews I bought three ounces and threw it out. Lane Limited RR is a 10 in my book.

Per Russ at P & C during one of his live Facebook sessions, Lane Ready Rubbed is discontinued. It was started by Lane after the FDA deeming date and it seems Lane didn't think it was worth whatever trouble it takes to get approved since it couldn't be grandfathered. I still see it available online, but I guess when those sellers are sold out they will be out forever.

I like the nutty nutty sutty version too.

 

[Grangerous]

I have a 14 ounce tub of LLRR jarred. I don’t like it and I’ve not yet tried the Match. The nutty comments make me want to try the Sutty, then one person says it’s sweet and another described marshmallow and another drying time to remove the topping and I think… I’m in no hurry.

I see where 4noggins has it in bulk: Lane Limited: READY RUBBED 2oz - https://4noggins.com/products/lane-limited-ready-rubbed-2oz?_pos=2&_sid=2c54fedf6&_ss=r

I didn't find it overtly sweet at all. It's like golden extra, aged burley flake... That level of sweetness, more or less. Bit of cocoa and molasses or liquorice over a nutty burley. I think it's quite a good smoke. But I haven't tried Lane's so I can't compare.

D&R Two Timer cased with some molasses and cocoa, and pressed for a couple days, makes a nice codger one too, if you feel a bit adventurous.
