Dustup In The Dark

Your shipping charges are too high. If I order up to 3 oz it is 3.99, But whe you order 4 oz it jumps to 7.99- not right esp when you price break bulk at 4 oz. This causes bad feelings about you.

the aroma is very easy to tell this apart from other blends

Awesome

very mild good smoke.

Excellent!!

Lights easily and stays lit if not packed too tight. I like everything about this blend. No goo, great taste and aroma. What more do you want.

Very moist, smokes very well, pleasant note

It had good flavor, but it did overpower my Latakia

This is one of my Lane favorites

Not to chunky , really nice taste and really smooth. All day go to for me. Room note is a bit of vanilla , robust cherries and a slight hint of chocolate. Very nice.

My favorite, by far.

Amazing blend, recommend this to raspberry lovers

Mellow smoke - stays lit and adds a nice flavor to a hearth and book.

Excellent service is always, dark red is mild, very smooth ,,stays well lit and has a nice room note

Excellent smoke. Very deep and rich, but not overpowering

Lane Limited Dark Red is a very good blend. It doesn't bite and it has a pleasant room note. I gave it a 4 star because it doesn't beat my favorite, Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish which was taken off the market by the FDA.

Very nice for those who like a cherry flavor. The black Cavendish is the same as in Lane's BCA which is as good as it gets. The cherry does overpower the caramel flavor though.

Not as flavorful as i like. I like the sweeter blends. Gets a little hot and strong in the bite

Lane Limited 'Red' is an interesting blend. Wonderful aroma but it has a slight bite on the tongue. I have been using it blended with the Lane "BCA" and it smooths out fine!

It is good in its self, smokes well. I add 20% captain black red makes it perfect for me

I bought this just to sample, and was pleasantly surprised. The burn is smooth and even, and burns cool. The black cavendish makes a fine pairing for the dark cherry flavor. The room note is excellent. Not too strong, but definitely distinct. The cool burn makes it very suited to blending with hotter tobaccos. Mellow enough for an all day smoke. The taste is black cherry, with hints of vanilla. Definitely will be adding it to my rotation.

Very tasty, you can really pick up the cherry in there with the sweet black cavendish. This is probably pretty similar to Captain Black cherry, but maybe a little bit better.

If I had tried Lane’s “Dark Red” before Russ’ “Nation’s Capital” I would have loved it first. However, the flavor tastes identical to me (though “Nation’s Capital” has a more flavorful zest that I prefer, substantially). This does hold a second place slot should the other be discontinued. As a side note, I do wish there was a second place alternative for “Vanilla Black Cavendish”, as it WAS a number one favorite of mine that is now no more.

Glad I tried this tobacco. Great aroma and smooth smoke.

This was a really nice blend for me. It has a good pouch smell, burns fairly well, and has a great taste. The flavor is not a one trick pony, but just a solid mix of flavors. This will be in my rotation for a while.

Very smooth. Great burn

My number 2 go to lane vanilla black cavendish was my number 1 but has been discontinued now I am wondering about the dark red since I couldn't find it this evening and had to go to a different vendor. Scott Welch

as close to perfect as you can get....

Don’t let them tell you there are no good cherries out there. This is an excellent straight cavendish. Light cherry flavor, no pepper on the nose. Flavor is there from first light to the end of the bowl. Great aroma, not heavy, and an all day smoker with no bite. Medium burn. I like to top it with the Lane very cherry. You can mix both or just smoke it on its own. Just what you’d expect from Lane.

I've tried numerous cherry tobacco's. I have to say Dark Red is definitely one of the better ones that I've tried. The cherry flavoring is perfect and no chemical or cough syrup taste at all.

Nice and smooth. It burns good. And the smoke has a pleasant room note. I recommend it.

Like Very Cherry but better! Amazing room note and a cool burning blend. I was presently surprised with this one--it is replacing Lane Limited Vanilla Black Cavendish as my favorite smoke!

GREAT TASTE

Room note- mild, aroma - noticeable, smell - like tobacco! Not a hint of cherry!

I like this one. I usually have this about every 8 days or so. I only smoke it out of 1 pipe so when it's that pie's turn in the rotation, I'll go with the dark red. Not for every day for my preference but a nice changeup every so often

love the taste and smooth smoke.

Outstandingly smooth cherry flavor, not overwhelming but layered with vanillas and nuttiness. It is a bit moist though.

I love this one. The flavor is rich and the smoke is mild.

One of my two go to tobaccos. Excellent blend with no bite. .

great by itself or blended, which is how i like to use it

I love this smoke! Just a touch of sweetness, rich, flavorful, smooth, It's my current favorite!

This is an awesome smoke not a bite at all a all day smoker great taste it is addicting I am going g to order 2 pounds 1 for me and 1 for blending and cellaring absolutely love this tobacco

I like Lane BCA and BCA with vanilla so thought I would try this. Not as smooth and has a bite to it.

Very enjoyable smoking tobacco. Smooth.

I first found Dark Red as a tobacco to blend with another. Then I tried it alone. I now smoke only Dark Red.

This tobacco was ok. It really wasn't my cup of tea. It wasn't bad by a long shot, just isn't my blend. Thanks

It burns very well, the light cherry flavor is really nice and it leaves a nice room note. I enjoy a few bowls in the evening after dinner. Thanks for this nice smoking tobacco. I'm sure I'll order it again.

Smoothest i have ever tasted.

Very nice smoke! Burns cool mild not bite! Very Fresh too. Nice aroma has subtle cherry note. I brought this because some reviews said nice cherry aroma wish it was a little stronger cherry note. Not over powering just slightly more! Then It would be perfect. But maybe I got some that just didn't get enough flavoring? Other then that I will recommend this!

Great flavor, very smooth no bite. Not as aromatic as I thought it would be. Smells fantastic in the bag.

Great Cherry taste, yet a mild smoke

Has a great aroma and smooth taste. Will definitely purchase more.

I like the smooth taste and aroma

Quite good. Noticeable hint of vanilla, smooth and tasty. The cherry is there, but not overpowering. Very easy to see why this is so popular - pleasant note, cool burn, no bite at all.

A smooth smoke and flavor

Wonderful Smoke.

Nice medium bodied smoke. Flavored but not overly so.

Mellow with a desirable room. If you a looking for a fully aromatic tobacco with no harsh bite or after taste this is it. great all day smoke.

This is a great aromatic. Just enough flavor. Try it

Just recently picked the pipe back up after 40 years-looking at all the blends I found Lane and have been sampling their different blends. Dark Red is my latest blend and I must say it is very good. I have enjoyed every bowl that I have smoked and plan on smoking many more bowls. I have seen that a lot of pipe smokers keep a very large tobacco cellar with lots of different tobaccos. I am going to be that smoker that finds one tobacco and makes it their primary tobacco. I have found that in Lane. I have small batches of other tobaccos and they will be the occasional smoke but Lane will be what will be found in my cellar and there will be a large jar of Dark Red as it one of my favorites. Try this blend and you will see too that it is a great smoke-burns great and has great taste. Like I said earlier Lane will be the one for me and Dark Red will be one of my favorite Lane tobaccos.

Very good

This is by far my favorite tobacco its got a great flavor very smooth and no bite perfect for all day smoking.

What I was looking for in taste, body, and aroma.

Huge fan of the smell and taste of the Lane red, just ordered a big pack after testing 2oz.

Very smooth, mild and great flavor. Wonderfull all day smoke.

Great taste great room smell great comments on the aroma my new go to every day smoke

Good flavor. It's so moist that is hard to keep lit.

The tobacco has a pleasant aroma and smokes well.

Found this tobacco to be very enjoyable even though I normally steer clear of aromatics.

I recently ordered some Lane Dark Red. It is mild, has a great taste and aroma. The cherry flavoring is noticeable but not overwhelming. A truly scrumptious smoke! My new go to tobacco!

I keep ordering Dark Red each time I place an order. So I guess it is one of my favorites. And it is. I love it and unless I get a bad batch; id still probably order it, it is THAT good!

Mild great taste

i like this too

I’m one of the rare creatures who cannot really taste the cherry topping on this blend. It is smooth and has almost no bite. I probably could smoke smoke it all day, but I have become so accustomed to BCA and RLP 6 that I’ll probably stay with them for the taste and go with the Dark Red for the room note and the compliments given by others.

Packs well and burns slow. Nice rich flavor with no chemical aftertaste. My favorite Lane so far.

Definitely one of the better cherry blends I've sampled. The Green River Cavendish is outstanding as a foundation for the lively, somewhat sweet cherry flavoring giving the blend a fuller, richer character than most cherry blends. The cherry flavoring is well imbued and remains as you smoke the bowl down. Really outstanding blend!

Flavorful and smells great

My go to tobacco. Not too cherry. Very flavorful and tasty.

Absolutely lovely directly out of the bag one of the best cherry blends I've had so far

If you want more of a bite then this is it.

i smoke tobaccos that contain a lot of cavendish or all cavendish and dark red is on the top of my list it burns slow and cool. my top one so far is cavendish in the woods, now russ has a new one out called jet black which i will try next, if you have not tried any of the above cavendishes you do not know what you are missing.

Love this tobacco, I will order again.

I don't consistently enjoy the fruity taste and aroma, but enjoy smoking this tobacco. Good to blend with others.

Not a bad smoke, not quite the flavor I was looking for but not bad

Best after breakfast blend ever!.

Ok

The only problem is that this tobacco is so popular that Pipes and Cigars runs out of stock too often. I love the taste and mildness, no bite. It is hard to keep it lit though.

Tasty, aromatic, mellow tobacco that even my wife enjoys the scent of. I smoke one bowl alone and mix 1Q, BCA, and Dark Red for a night time bowl. Very enjoyable.

Already a big fan of the Lane BCA, the Lane Red is a fantastic flavorful addition to a already tasty tobacco. Thanks for the great buy Pipes and Cigars.

This is a great light smoke. If you're new to pipe smoking like me,this is a grate starter.

Great product!

If you like Lane Vanilla and Black, the red has a little tart to it.

Sorry to keep bothering you folks withy opinions on the Dustup in The Dark but, I have to be fair to the good folks at Cornell and Diehl. The last time I wrote that Black Cherry had a bitter taste. I now believe this was my fault. My 3 oz. sample came in two bags. One was 1oz and the other 2oz. I believe that I contaminated the tobacco that was remaining in the 1oz bag with a freshly polished pipe that still had some polish residue on it. As I have smoked a couple of bowls of tobacco from the other 2oz bag I have not experienced the bitter chemical taste l wrote about in the other review update. Cornell and Diehl Black Cherry has been very enjoyable, but I still think I prefer plain old Lane BCA.

Pretty smooth, great room (my wife is happy) generally pretty good, but I like Casey Jones Last Ride better.

I think I have to revise my opinion of this competition. I first wrote that I thought Cornell and Diehl Black Cherry had the edge, but after a couple of weeks now something has changed. I might just be me but it seems that Cornell and Diehl after some drying time has a bitter taste. At first I thought it might have been the "new tome" Chacom Specimen pipe that I used but the next evening I smoked some more in one of old stand by pipes that I initially smoked the Cornell and Diehl in, and enjoyed, and it had the same bitter chemical taste. The room note is still wonderful, but Lane Limited Dark Red has a much more pleasant flavor along with the great room note. I think that I might just prefer good old BCA without the cherry flavor over both oh these though.

Great taste, tin note, and room note, but the best thing about this stuff is that the flavor stays with it throughout the whole bowl, and doesn't disappear after the first couple of puffs, which can be problem with many aromatics.

I really enjoy Black Cavendish tobaccos. Lane BCA is one of my favorites. The Lane Dark Red is a nice addition to the flavor of BCA, but I think I would have to give an edge to Cornell and Diehl Black Cherry. It has a nice toasted chocolatey flavor that, at the moment, I prefer over the Lane Dark Red.

Might be my favorite cherry tobacco. Very smooth.

All around liked it but perfer Lane dark red over.

Love it , love it, love it.... I all ready love BCA and now with a deep cheery note on it , it's my new go to. Really can't get enough. More please !!!!

I've had dark blends that were stouter than I appreciated; not the case with this blend. Though almost black, it is smooth with a pleasant aroma. I love trying new blends, but I may need reorder another batch before moving on.

Goes beyond its description - folks wonder what air freshener I use in the car!

Silky, sweet but irritant, smooth, it's feel wet but burning slow and not soo hot, bite free nice berries notes

Dark red is smooth and flavorful. The cherry taste is mild. It has no bite and can be smoked regularly.

Lane has done it again. Its mellow no tongue bite and a great room note. I will definitely get this again😜

Two great Cherry flavored tobaccos that have a great flavor and room note.

Love everything from lane, this will not disappoint Wonderful room note.

The tobacco was great cherry flavor was smooth and dark

very smooth slow burning, love the taste, will be going thru a lot of this

excellent everyday smoke. mild, and aromatic. good price as well!

Pretty good. Good hint of cherry doesn't taste fake

I've really enjoyed the smoothness, aroma and taste. I actually mix into other blends at times to cut the richness a bit or to add richness to something else. Really versatile for the way I smoke.

What a fantastic tobacco! I’ts so smooth and delicious! I don’t usually smoke dark blends but this has such a delicious note it’s hard to put down. As an x cigarette smoker I often forget And smoke it as such. And the aroma gets not only me relaxed but bystanders compliment my my smoke instead of whining about it, one of the few I am allowed to smoke in the company of my anti smoking wife! I highly recommend it!!!

Looking for a replacement for Scotty's Bass Pond. Obviously P&C can't fulfill the demand for this product. Dark Red will suffice.

Good blend, but not very cherry flavored.

Good blend, but not very cherry flavored.

Like this stuff. Very nice aroma. I'm a sniffer. Good taste. Have a pound ordered, but still out.

Better than my local tobacconist has

This is by far my favorite tobacco blend! I absolutely love the vanilla and cherry mixes in this blend. I wish it wasn't always on backorder but if you are reading this, love cherry and vanilla and this isn't on backorder buy a few ounces...you will not regret it!

Smooth

I don't know that it's all that good all by itself, and I'm not sure why everyone raves about it. Lane Black Raspberry is much better. However, it DOES mix well with other things so, if you're like me and "spike" your low-nic aromatics with something stronger (like a dark fired Kentucky of some sort) it does work very well that way. And, since it's got such a potent flavor, it tends to rise above whatever you're missing it with.

Lane BCA with wonderful. succulent cherry...'nuff said. Outstanding! Smoke it in a cob and you'll fall in love....

Great service fast shipping

Excellent smoke

I bought three ounces to try and the pouch note is note strong or over bearing, but smells almost like a dark cherry and chocolate. The first bowl I tried without drying at all and stayed lit as could be expected. Nice undertones of Black Cherry, mild vanilla and a hint of chocolate flavors as an afterthought. Mild smoke with very little bite.

I've always sorta liked cherry aromatics. Never really had a chance, until I started buying from P&C, to try many. My local shop always seemed to be short on any choices and the one or two he carried were not very good. Then I found just about every cherry baccy on earth here. This Lane Limited Dark Red is one good baccy. Taste, smell, smoke, burn, and just about anything else it does is great. Hands down, one of the best. There are a few others to try, and I don't know what I'll think of them, we'll just have to wait and see. When I'm done sampling all of them I'll post it here. Don't take my word, try them yourself and see. So far, this Lane Limited Dark Red is leading the pack. It packs and smokes well, and doesn't mess up my pipe like some aromatics do. No soupy mess and no unsightly left overs in my bowl.

I do like this as an occasional smoke. I'm an English blend smoker but this is a nice change every once in a while. It may blend well with other tobaccos to give some slight sweetness. Great room note smoked straight. And my better half loves the aroma.

Once lit i like it but it was extremely damp and hard to initially get lit. Nice aroma.

I really enjoy this blend,it's smooth and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.And the room note is appreciated by my wife and pets.

Good by itself, but oh what flavors can be had when trying to mix it with different tobaccos you might have around. I am currently stuck on HH Latakia Flake spiked with some Big Red to taste. Try it with some Virginia Memory from Hearth Amd Home as well for an all day smoke for sure. A tad bit dry when I got it but I tend to like mine a little bit on the wet side so I can decide how much I like to dry that particular tobacco out. But that’s just nitpicking now.

LL Dark Red is a close competitor of CBRM.But a bit easier on the wallet. I greatly enjoy it and can smoke it all day long.Thank's P&C for great service and a great deal on an excellant smoke.

Read the P & C description; it's highly accurate! This is amazing stuff for a dyed-in-the-wool U.K. Blend addict, purchased on a whim for a change of pace. Unlike other Cherry Blends, whether OTC, or even a couple Lane's brethren, this tobacco, is not cloying, sickeningly sweet, or sticky with additives; just a nice sweet, dark, cherry-flavored smoke. If some other writer detected a hint of molasses or the like, I wouldn't argue. If Santa turned up in your fireplace smoking a pipe, THIS is what it would smell like. For those readers who seek an aromatic with a fruity note that won't stick to your tonsils, I can heartily recommend Dark Red. For that matter, even if you enjoy sticky tonsils, Dark Red won't disappoint, either... Try it, you'll like it!

My current favorite. Flavorful, burns cool, stays lit, smells great.

Smokes good, will try again

If you're into cherry tobacco, I definitely recommend this. It's much better than the cherry jubilee.

A good after dinner smoke.

One of my favorite stand bys.

I'm just not sure about this one. The flavor is what is hanging me up. It's nice enough. It's mild enough. It has a nice room note. But I really can't pick up on the flavor. It's supposed to be cherry but, if it is, I'm not feeling it. I purchased 6 oz so will give it some time but...the jury's out on this one and continues to deliberate.

I like this tobacco because it is mild. I have never smoked cigarettes and don't like pipe tobacco with lots of nicotine. The less the better for me. It has a really nice aroma, but not so much after lighting up. It stays lit, and smokes really well. I will buy this again.

very nice, smooth and great flavor

This wasn't my first purchase of Lane's Dark Red nor will it be my last. I love the stuff and when you smoke it properly (not easy to do because it's soooo good) you will want another bowl right after. I find it full of flavors like vanilla and cherry and cream! My wife loves the room note and always tells me " smoke the one I like you know".

Fairly good would buy again!

no bite - stays lit easy enough - 2 or 3 bowls a day no problem for me - quickly becoming my go to tobacco -

Excellent flavor and aroma

Very good, one of my favorites so far. I am new to pipes, been smoking for about 3 weeks now. Been sampling a lot of bulk brands, some standard pouches, (Captain black regular and Cherry). I think this is my favorite so far. Lights easily, very smooth, very mild, no bite at all. Very nice flavor, on the sweeter side. Great room note! MY NEW FAVORITE!! Will definitely be loading up on this one. Have tried 1Q and other "favorite" blends, and have to admit, I do not like them, not sweet at all, almost a little harsh tasting. Lane BCA was good for me also, smooth, mild. If you enjoy a milder, smooth, sweet cherry flavored tobacco, you will love this one! Try it for yourself, order an oz to try, you will agree with me. I do like this site also, been very good so far, have place about 4 orders. Only thing I don't like, a lot of items "out of stock" or "back-ordered", surprising for a large site like this one. But I will continue with them, been happy so far.

What a great blend!! Love this stuff!!

I was smoking Lane Black Raspberry for it's mildness but I gave Dark Red a try due to all of the compliments that it got. I agree that Dark Red is not only mild but has a great flavor and my wife likes it better than Black Raspberry. So I have made it my go to tobacco.

Dreadful. Chock full of saccharin or some artificial awful something. No cherry to speak of. I don't like straight black cavendish so take that into account.

Maybe its me but all I'm getting is a taste of chemicals from this. Theres no bite but I do think that there are alot of better aromatics out there

Truly delighted!

Some sort of indistinct cherry "something". Not bad though.

Got a four ounce little bag to sample. Nasty Winter weather finally backed off for 2-3 days so I could go outside and give this a try. Really like the cut and texture of this tobacco, thicker-chunkier than so many others. Taste is what I would expect of an aromatic of this type and I find it quite Likeable. Some ' drying out ' time prior to smoking is somewhat beneficial. Will most likely buy some more of this Dark Red Lane stuff.

Will buy from again

Highly recommended. Great taste and room note. Will order again. Not disappointed at all.

This tobacco is ok with decent flavor.I found it a bit moist and a little difficult to keep lit.I would not smoke this every day but it is nice to have some on hand.May try other brands in the future.

I'm an aeromatic smoker; Creme Brûlée, Molte Dolce, ect. To me Dark Red has no flavor at all. Occasionally a faint tinge of something comes through for a second, and seldom at that. It has all the other smoking qualities of a good tobacco except any flavor at all.

A very cool and rich smoke. It probably has one of the nicest room notes ever. One of my new favorites!

Have gone through almost 12 ounces of this new Lane offering, I like the light cherry taste and hint of vanilla. Has become one of my favorites.

It's moist and fresh but the flavor lacks something.

WOW! Loaded this up and I was incredibly surprised how fantastic this is! Like CULT Blood Red Moon? Give this a try I think I like it better. A++++++++++

I am not impressed. The ad man who wrote about this tobacco described this tobacco so vividly my mouth watered: confectioners flavors, cherries, etc.. But, what I tasted was an average black cavendish with a barely discernible flavor. I wondered about the room note, so, I asked my wife. She said, "It's alright. What's it suppose to smell like?" If you improve it, let me know and I will try it again. But, as it stands right now, I will probably not buy it again.

Great smoke, I prefer it over 1-Q

I normally smoke english blends, however every so often I take a break and have a bowl of an aromatic tobacco. In my opinion Cornell & Diehl is one of the best although it's a bit to moist this tobacco offers a very authentic black cherry taste and aroma. I will order this blend again. PS; Don't waste your time and money with any of the Captain Black blends. Highly over rated and over priced. Pipes and Cigars have other aromatics you might enjoy in including TK-6.

Tastes and smells amazing

Very aromatic, mild and smooth smoke.

Love it

i thought id try this one,,looked dark n smooth.well it is very smooooth no bite what so ever.i wish i had ordered more,,this blend is very nice,,the aroma is great and it stays lit easily an smoke very well in my old bent kaywoodie.i will order more is this blend soon.

Have purchased several times love this tobacco

I love the stuff. It's smooth with no bite and everyone loves around when I am smoking it love the aroma.

I love it. Very cool smoke and no bite

In trying to broaden my tastes from aro tobaccos, I thought I’d try this new blend from Lane—there had been a lot of favorable comments about this blend in the pipers forums that I frequent. I’m happy to say this is a pleasant, mild, and flavorful tobacco, one that I can easily recommend to any piper who wants to try something different but won’t burn his tongue off. Mellow, both in taste and room note, this offering by Lane will pleasantly surprise you if you are not usually a fan of non-aromatic tobaccos in your pipe.

Love it

Delicious aroma with a taste that matches. Packs well and burns even with no bite.

Very nice tobacco. Smokes smooth, no bite, nice aroma.

Best cherry flavored tobacco I have ever tasted

this is the best Cherry blend ever had and hope FDA don't make them take it off market it's my main baccy now

Looked all over for a cherry that would not eat me alive. This is one smooth smoke I could smoke all day. Thanks Lane Limited. You did it again.

Very satisfied with the products and service.

I picked up some of the Lane Dark Red to give it a try as I love Lane BCA every day. The Dark Red is a light cherry/vanilla cavendish, so it's an aromatic and it burns a bit hot and has a hint of bite, not like BCA that is cool to burn and no bite (which is why it's my every day). I generally enjoyed the Dark Red as an alternative here and there when I want something a bit more strong flavored and it's a good smoke, I enjoy it as a small bowl for a short 10 minute smoke, compared to my large bowls of BCA that last upwards of 30+ minutes. I'd try it again. It's less cherry than some of the others, which I appreciate, as too much cherry is overpowering and is like candy. Dark Red is a more hint of cherry and vanilla, more subtle, less overpowering.

This Lane tobacco is a really smooth smoke with very fruity notes. I highly enjoy it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing tasteful bowl.

Great smoke Smooth and tasty

So long as you dont smoke this stuff fast it has a very good experience all the way through. I was expecting a stronger cherry, but its more on the smooth side then anything else. It burns cool and should not be smoke in anything you want to smoke something else in because it will ghost your pipe. I had a pipe I used for smoking P&C's Best of the Rest so i was good. Over all if your looking for a smooth creamy kinda feel withva touch of cherry then this would be your best bet.

The perfect 'pouch' tobacco. I like variety and have a couple of different ones every day but there is always one tobacco that you go to for most pipe loads. This is it for me.

Very aromatic and tasty. It is identical in taste to CAO Black whixh is also made by Lane Ltd.

Dark Red is a unique tobacco that I think those who like BCA will enjoy. It has darker notes, for sure. The pouch notes are of stewed stone fruit. To my nose it is a pleasant smell, but not as sweet as BCA. It was the proper moisture out of the bag and easily takes a light. The room note I'm told is nice. Although it is not something I'd have in my regular rotation, there are those that should like it.

I didn't feel the flavor carried through the entire bowl.The flavor was just a topping

Very good cherry pipe tobacco for the beginner and experienced smoker alike. May 21, 2016 “Well I just got back to smoking a pipe after about 30 years. I've been smoking cigars and a pipe equally for a long time. But when I became a homeowner with chores a pipe was just a bit too much work. Nice thing about a pipe is you can smoke a bowl in less time than most cigars. This was one of 4 choices I made in bulk. It is a winner. Cherry flavor not overpowering and little to no bite. Finish is a little less smooth and I mean a VERY little. I will be buying more of this in the future.”

I really do enjoy this tobacco.

It's an average smoke. I can't detect any cherry aroma or taste. It is an exact duplicate of Captain Black White package.

Really like it!!

I am a big fan of Lane 1-Q so I thought I would try this as well. It is a subtle tobacco with a surprisingly rich flavor. I will keep some around.

Lane Dark Red is my Favorite pipe tobacco!!! I love it!!! Cooln smooth....No bite and No burn. Great Taste and people tell me all the time how good it smells. Great price too!!

Flavor is a 4, tobacco quality is a 2, smoking is a 3. I would smoke this again if it was free, and even buy some more if it was the only product available. Other than that it's not going in my re-order cart. I'm not an authority on aromatics and this is not a tobacco I would rave about. It's good, don't get me wrong, just not my style.

I can't get over the way this tobacco smells in the bag... it is unbelievable! This is an all-around excellent blend. There is no bite, a wonderful room note enjoyable for everyone, and a sweet subtle taste that makes for a pleasant smoke anytime of day! If you enjoy aromatics and have not tried Lane's Dark Red, you don't know what you're missing.

ITS SO GOOD, I COULD EAT IT.

Well I just got back to smoking a pipe after about 30 years. I've been smoking cigars and a pipe equally for a long time. But when I became a homeowner with chores a pipe was just a bit too much work. Nice thing about a pipe is you can smoke a bowl in less time than most cigars. This was one of 4 choices I made in bulk.

Very nice and mild. There is no bite and smells great.

Very mild and great aroma. Great smoke

It's sweet deeply rich flavor pairs well with a glass of port after dinner.

Smokes very well

I especially enjoy the lane bulk black raspberry. The dark red was just as good!

My only complaint is that I only ordered one ounce to try it out. This is a great black cavendish. The tobacco is similar to another one of my fav's - BCA. But Dark Red isn't as heavily cased as BCA and still has a fantastic taste and room note. Cherry and Vanilla together - a dream come true! Lites and burns well and it's a real wife-pleaser! Property tax is due this month, so I will have to make my one-ounce stretch until next month when I have tobacco money again!

great choice. I enjoy this pleasant blend in the evening. A great front porch smoke. Smooth with no bite.

It seemed to me to be nothing more than Capt. Black Dark with a flavoring added. I don;t like flavorings in my tobacco so I didn't care for it. Capt. Black Dark is a great tobacco. Leave it alone.

It's a great blend with a wonderful flavor and aroma. Excellent!

I bought 16oz and after about a month with it, I am not going to smoke it out of the bag but use it in place of BCA for a Cherry Blend I do with other brighter and more distinct Cherries, and that is working for me. The Cav toby itself is a smooth, stay lit, NO BITE SMOKE, so no faulting the baccy itself ... the hint of caramel vanilla is good, but just not very cherry (no pun intended).

Excellent in all ways! Note is fantastic, NO bite at all! And VERY tasty!... With the exception of Officers Club, this is better than any of the premium tobaccos that I have tried...

Another Lane classic. This one reminds me of dark cherries. It also has what seems like a slight caramel taste. A warm rich blend with an excellent room note. Quite damp at the outset I found and needs to be dried out somewhat.

This was a real nice smoke. I shared it with a friend and because I liked both of them so much, I left him the jar knowing I'll replace it soon.

I was not impressed with the first two bowls. I really like Cult Blood Red Moon so I was comparing it to that. I don't know what changed, but the third, and fourth bowls were great. I still prefer BRM, but this is my second favorite cherry blend. It goes well with a dark roast coffee.

I have tried a lot of different cherry blends looking for the right one, and i thought cult cherry was going to be my favorite, but i think this is even better, full cherry flavor, not to harsh, stays lit and slow burn.

This tobacco is just as described. I am really enjoying it. Thank you Pipes and Cigars.

This blend didn't do it for me. Not a lot of flavor IMO.

I have only smoked 1 bowl so far. It smells good and has no bite.

it is not a bad pipe mixture. it is a bit strong from what i am use to.

Very mild good taste

Tasted bland. I smoke mostly McClelland 620 (Mocha black) and thought the dark red would have more flavor.

Yet another Maraschino cherry fragrance out of the bag with maybe a hint of liquorice which some what reminds me of the old Teaberry gum. I get a bit of this fruity liquorice flavor while smoking it but not overpowering but does leave a nice room note. An easy cavendish tobacco to keep lit with plenty of smoke for an enjoyable hour of time. Two more points specifically about this tobacco that i like. NO TONGUE BITE ! Any tobacco that gives me no tongue bite is worthy enough to be in my rotation and second, I get no stinging sensation when smoking this blend and drinking soda at that same time. I happen to enjoy drinking soda (pop) with some of my other tobacco brands even though the acidity in the soda and what ever is in the tobacco gently stings my tongue but with this lane Dark Red strangely enough did not give off any stinging sensation. Now maybe it was just me but i did pick up on this right away. Now i can enjoy this blend with a "pop" as we say here in the north east.

Good but Copper and Vanilla Custer is better. I will order again.

Never tried it before it is a great tobacco smells great the taste is fantastic! I will be buying more.

I am a new pipe smoker and still venturing in the tobaccos. I have tried mainly my local B&M blends and this is my first venture into Lane Ltd tobaccos. First thoughts were great. It was smooth and tasted good. Never got too hot and was a pleasant smoke. Still developing a palate for tobaccos so take this as you will but I think you cannot go wrong with this as a New pipe smoker. Glad I ordered 4 oz and will likely be coming back for more when that runs out.

I use it to blend Prlnce Albert 50,50. Try it

I got hold of an ounce of this and it is a very good tobacco. The flavor was very noticeable even to me who after 60 years of smoking can hardly taste anything. At the same time it was strong enough to be enjoyable smoking wise. Even if you are a mostly Balkan/English smoker like me this a very enjoyable change of pace w/o the moaning about it smelling like a campfire or cough syrup.

Just received mine today. It was a great smoke. The cherry flavor is not overwhelming, a great balance with the vanilla. I will definitely buy more.

Lane Dark Red is a cool smoking blend, but to me it has medicine like after taste. All in all this tobacco is not my thing, I would guess the 8 oz I purchased are going to be around for a good long while.

Lovely sweet cherry flavor but not overpowering. Great aroma. Sweet and satisfying. A bit moist so I dry it out just a bit. Will definitely be back for more.

Everything good but the flavor. This stuff is flat. The flavor needs to amped up. You can tell it's cherry vanilla but when you smoke it the flavor disappears completely. Might work as blender to tone down or smooth out other tobaccos. Will just by BCA to start with from now on.

Love this tobacco. If you enjoy aromatics and have a sweet tooth you will love this. No bite at all, re-lite only once. Only thing I noticed that was a bit odd it tastes much better then it smells in the package, I probably would not have bought it if I had just smelled it first in a shop.

Haven't smoked anything cherry, in forever. Bought 8oz, wish I'd bought a pound. If you think dark chocolate, and cherry are a good combo, you're going to love this! Lane, great job! Pleases the sometimes sweet tooth, without being a gooper, and 3 bowls, back, to back, to back, and no tongue bite!

Quite tasty, mild and smooth with a cool burn. This will work great for mixing into a blend.

First impression: Glad I purchased and will likely keep several oz' in my cellar. It's SO smooth I found myself chugging to get more flavor and inadvertently overheated my bowl. It was then I realized my 'Pilot Error' and backed off to sipping. It began to smooth out as I chilled a bit. The flavor is so good, yet subtle and made me want more, thus my aggressive puffing. I like it. Two reasons I'll keep this in stock. 1. I like it as is. 2. I feel this would make a very good add-in or add-into to create a personal blend. Well done, Lane!

I usually don't get aromatics. This one just look so good. Well, it wasn't....it is awesome! It is the coolest smoking I have ever experienced. From the first light to the bottom of the bowl it never loses anything. I only bought 4 oz but I wish I had got a couple pounds.

Great tasting tobacco.. sweet and cool smoking with no bite

I'm a big fan of Captain Black Royal. I may have to rethink this as Lane Dark Red may now be my new favorite.

This blend is very tasty and has provided a consistent, enjoyable smoke, pipe after pipe. It is very cool and easy to keep lit. The room note is most excellent and I will be keeping a stash of it on hand from now on.

Lane has definitely created a winner for me with Dark Red. Already a fan of BCA and 1-Q, I had to try this. Everything in the promotional information is true. This is an amazingly pleasant aromatic that gives off a wonderful room fragrance during the smoking experience and additionally leaves a very pleasant after fragrance. My wife is very happy, as am I! The taste is delightful and the tobacco burns evenly and completely. And, it doesn't burn hot. After purchasing a 2 ounce sample and enjoying it a few times, I immediately order 2 pounds of bulk Dark Red. Dark Red has spoiled me. Now I have to figure out what to do with all my other tobacco.

The best part there's no tongue bite. Cool and very creamy smoke. Must give a try and I am sure you won't say NO to this new blend.

This is a great smoke. It has a strong and very pleasing aroma of vanilla, a mild and satisfying taste, and no bite. It burns very well. I purchased two ounces and ordered more of it the day I received my first order. A superb tobacco for those just starting pipe smoking or those who smoke infrequently as well as veteran smokers.

Similar to Black Cordial, but much more of a smooth flavor with no bite. Making this my go to tobacco. First bought the 1oz, but now I plan on buying the big bag.

I have Lane's Very Cherry, Capt Black Cherry, Gawith-Hoggarth Top Black Cherry and now Lane's Dark Red. I even like Cherry Pie, so you get the point. I love a good cavendish, and this is a nice smooth smoking toby with a darker, riper black cherry flavor and note, which is very influence by the caramel and vanilla, and which which reminds me of when were were kids and "pulled taffy" for my mom in the kitchen lol! I am not giving up my Very Cherry or Capt Black's for it, but when i want a piece of Cherry Taffy ... U BET YA! Or I could even mix it with somethin' because cherry blend well with each other according to what you have a taste for ... so play with it.

Very smooth rich cherry flavor, with an amazing room note. By far the best cherry pipe tobacco I have smoked yet. I will be ordering this in bulk on my next order.

This is truly awesome! I'm too much of a newbie to write a sophisticated review, but I know this is a great one. Lane Limited gave me a sample of this at the Raleigh Pipe Show... Thanks, Lane, for the sample and for creating this great blend!

I hope all are enjoying a good smoke with a nice bowl on a pleasant day. I was hoping to get a nice flavor out of this because the name was appealing to me but that's about all I found appealing. It's the zip lock baggy type. I didn't like the aroma in the bag. I'm not experienced enough to know what kind of cut it was but it sure had some big chunks in it which made it a bit difficult to load my pipe, a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman. The first puff hit the back of my throat like a bow torch. I found the tobacco to be harsh for me. I like the cherry tobacco's but this wasn't cherry nor bon-bon to me. It smoked up good, didn't have so much sting as I couldn't stand it. I think another more experienced non-sweet, or very light sweet, strong liking smoker might want to try it. I smoked a bunch of it to make sure I didn't like it then gave it up.
