From what I've read, Lane Limited HGL is Lane RLP-6 with Latakia added. Does anyone know the actual percentage of Latakia in Lane HGL? I've been experimenting with adding straight Latakia to RLP-6 with some good results, but was wondering just what the actual mixture is.
I've also tried adding Pirate Kake to RLP-6. I actually like this blend, with PK's additional burley and turkish, better percent for percent.

Hello missionpipe:
Hoping for the answer to your question.
"HGL" is my preferred blend precisely because it has only small amounts of Latakia blended into the other tobaccos that make up this mixture. I can't take a heavy Lat-hit and the stench of burning leather is really repulsive to taste and to smell.
Lane Ltd "10 DOWNING STREET" was also a Lat-lite/English, but sadly, it's no longer being made.
I've read that Russ' Hearth and Home "Yule Log" (@ Pipe and Cigars) is also Lat-lite and is very similar to these two Land Ltd. blends.

LANE LTD......give us back "10 DOWNING STREET"
