Lane HG-2000

When I started pipe smoking all I smoked was Lane aromatics. BCA, 1Q and Rlp-6 were always in my pipes. For some reason I transitioned over to burley blends. Carter Hall and Velvet. Then over to C&D's Pegasus and Big N Burley. A couple of weeks ago I wanted a sweet tobacco after supper. I got into my Lanes HGL (Rlp-6 and latakia) but I wanted something aromatic and without the latakia. So I ordered a bunch of small bags of Lane aromatics. HG-2000 stood out from all of them. Something so familiar about it. I would not be surprised if it is BCA and BLWB. What a great all day smoke. Great aroma. Will not burn your tongue and best of all no goop in the heel of my pipe. This blend really sings in a cob. I can pick up the nuttiness' of the burley. Packs nicely and a good burner. My 2 oz sample is getting low so I just ordered a lb. I can't put HG-2000 down. Great job Lane. No one does aromatics quite like you do.

Nice mellow smoke and a earthy, woodsie, aroma. Great every day smoke. Would recommend.

Picked this up at my local brick and mortar on a whim, and at first wasn’t all impressed. With consecutive bowls though I began picking out the subtle notes in the blend and now find it quite enjoyable. It’s very mild, earthy, with no bite (so far), and honestly if you don’t slow down and just relax the flavor will pass you by. I find it best enjoyed early in the morning with a nice hot cup of coffee.

I thought it good

love this tobacco

I'll order more of this. My wife approves of it, the batch I got was neither too wet or too dry, not too sweet nor too stanky. Good stuff at a good price.

Have been mixing this with lane light virginia. Makes for a smoother smoke.

Unremarkable

I generally smoke English blends, but when I want an aromatic for a change, HG-2000 is the one that hits the spot. Smooth, easy burning, well-behaved, with a pleasant room note. Lightly flavored with vanilla and maybe a hint of cocoa. Similar to Old Shenandoah Barrel 76 to my palate.

BLEND Aromatic CONTENTS Cavendish, Burley FLAVORING Misc/Vanilla CUT Ribbon A burley base with toasted cavendish added. Provides the best of earthy taste with mildness and aroma. No bite & smokes cool as long as never puff. The vanilla is in background complimenting the burley. CB Copper is a higher grade of HG 2000 but much more expensive. CB Copper in my Top 5 rotation but keep HG 2000 for just a more tobacco taste instead of flavor. Recommend it for a try. No bite, mild, mellow, tobacco taste with vanilla & great earthy flavor.

While on vacation, I went into a local shop to see bulk blends they have. They had a special one they called Brown County. I asked for an an ounce and was told they only sell it in 2 ounce increments. The clerk then quickly did a 180 and explained that actually their supplier has been experimenting with 1 ounce pre packages. It was this. A very delightful, smooth, cool, and sweet smoke. not something I would smoke all the time but it works well by itself and as my after cigar bowl. For me it's a dessert smoke.

I ordered in place of out of stock BCA. Does not burn as smoothly nor pack as well. Seemed harsh on the throat as well.

This is probably not a fair assessment, I was smoking a new pipe MT bent egg. It had a nice aroma and nice taste, but a little tongue bit. I will probably give it another try. I just started smoking a pipe again after a 30 plus year break, glad I restarted, really enjoy it now. I cannot believe the selection P&C has,I'm hooked.

I am new back to the pipe after 35 yrs of the occasional cigar (mostly Padrons), got a lovely Savinelli 320 from my wife for Christmas. I ordered an ounce of several different Lane tobaccos, they all had their niceties but the HG2000 had that certain something... it takes a couple char/tamp relights with a full bowl but it gives a great 1/2 bowl smoke with one lovely personality, give it re-tamp and ash dump, relight and you have a wonderful but slightly different personality. The room note acceptable, retrohale is very nice and taste is substantial... Like a good dark roast coffee, it's not overloaded with vitamin N like HGL and that makes it able to be smoked more... which is exactly what I want to do...

I'm not sure this one will achieve pouch status but I like it once in a while.

HG-2000 forms part of my Lane repertoire which includes 1Q, MV-1000, and BCA. Of the four, I can't say that any one is my favorite. They are all good in their own way. My taste in tobacco changes day to day, so I rotate around a lot. All are easy on the tongue. I supplement these with various English and a few highly aromatics.

Very mild. Doesn't know how to bite. Pleasant aroma without coming off like an spilled basket of overripe fruit. I would give it six stars if they were available.

Good solid smoke. Burns well. Plenty of flavor. I would purchase again.

My first experience with HG-2000 was in a sampler, and I immediately decided it was a keeper. The burley and black Cavendish are nicely balanced. While classed as an 'aromatic', there are certain flavors and aromas that do not come through for me - typical problems with advancing age. I tend to go for the milder tobaccos. HG-2000 fits well with my other routine Lane's of 1-Q, BCA, and MV-1000. I will continue to order all four.

I'm a newbie to pipes and have been diving deep into tasting a variety of mostly aros. I'm sitting here enjoying a bowl of the lane HG 2000 and was impressed enough to want to review it. It burns cool, stays lit, and hasn't bit me yet. It's like a nice ol hound dog, sweet and mellow but still up to a good hunt and excitement. A slightly sweet smoke with a bit of vanilla but you can still taste the nuttiness and tang of the tobacco. Nice billowy buttery smoke and its giving me a nice head buzz. I like the room note of other blends (like the 1Q) a bit better but it's not bad either. It's got layers to it, a great balanced blend of tobacco and mild casings. No gurgle or goop either!

I'm fairly new to pipe smoking, so I haven't a lot of experience with tobaccos yet. I have tried 15-20 mostly aeros and mild english... Anywho, while I cannot expertly describe my experience with Lane HG-200, I can say that I find it quite agreeable to smoke and have no complaints about it. The room note has not garnered any complaints from passers by either, including my wife, so that's another feather in the cap for this blend.
