Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish match?

[greatdane]

I have enjoyed Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish for a while, but when I recently looked to restock it appears to be discontinued.

Is there a good match for this tobacco? I tried the Lane BCA but found it to be not nearly as good as the old Lane Vanilla BC.

All the vanilla black Cavendish blends taste the same to me. I haven't had Lane though.

Isn’t RLP-6 a vanilla black cavendish?

l would think Stokkebye and/or Newminster would offer a vanilla.

It's one of those better to have loved and lost sort of things. I've never seen a more vanilla blend than that one.

Sutliff has a black vanilla Cavendish, but I don't know how it compares to Lane's version.

I think the Stokkebye 201 is the best black cav (flavored with vanilla):

Sorry I can't help you but I agree it was one one of the best Vanilla blends out there.

Captain Black Royal?

Have you tried this one? It's sold by a few different brands.

Thanks for all the tips. Have tried the Sutliff and Stokkebye versions and found them lacking. Will try C&D Green River and Newminster.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on those two.

I agree.
I have smoked Lane black vanilla for 40 years.
I think it so stupid the reason for its end.
I have not found anything like it yet including BCA, HGL, anything "Capt. Black", Sutcliff and the vanilla creme by Macbarren.
I'm almost gonna quit pipe smoking if I cannot find something like it.

Sutliff has half a dozen vanilla black Cavendishes, and dozen or more vanilla aromatics. Have your tried all of them?

I am always interested in why people prefer one over the other. What do you prefer in in this Lane Vanilla?

I went through a phase where I was exploring vanilla aros. I found that most just overwhelmed the tobacco flavors. My favorite is Peter Stokkebye's Sweet Vanilla, because it is well balanced with the Virginias still shining through the flavors, and the vanilla is very subdued.

Lane's Vanilla Black Cavendish was released in 2017 and discontinued in 2021.

It seems like 40 years if you're only smoking Lane Vanilla Cavendish.

I could've easily made that one the only blend I smoked. Went through the five pound lot I ordered a few years ago in just a few months.

You guys do know that Smoker's Pride is made by Lane right?

Not even in the same ballpark. Even Jim has commented on its uniqueness.
