Lane Limited HGL is a mixture of black Cavendish laced with smoky Latakia blended with mellow white Burley and golden Virginia to produce a sweet, fuller-bodied smoke, that is still cool and slow-burning. This was purported to be the personal blend of Herman G. Lane, the man who made Lane Limited what it is today. If you like a pleasant aroma but miss the taste of Latakia, Lane HGL should hit the spot.
Shop Lane HGL as low as $2.24/oz with purchase of 16oz bag!
The taste of Latakia in this tobacco and the pleasant smoking characteristics make this my top choice not. I’m so glad I tried it.

Nice Crossover Balkan/Lightly Aromatic Blend
Jul 05, 2022
Surprising and interesting. I normally stay away from any hint of aromatic blends as I prefer stronger English blends with more character. However, this is a nice crossover, "Balkanish" blend that has enough character to keep my interest. Also mixes nicely with other more stout blends if you want to amp it up a bit.

Fine Smoke, No Surprises
Jun 13, 2022
Smokes and tastes as advertised. Full-bodied and a nice Balkan, maybe what I would call a slightly “Americanized” take on the more exotic stuff from European blenders. Something like Half & Half with some Cypriot Latakia mixed in (though without the antifreeze of the OTC H & H). Say a tad less dry to the palette than a White Knight or My Mixture 965. Very nice!

Very enjoyable

A very enjoyable English blend. The Latakia is present but not overwhelming. The Burley and Virginia shine as well. Recommended for anyone who wants to try English blends for the first time.

My Favorite

I really like this blend. It has a great flavor - sweet and smoky. It satisfies my craving for a full tobacco taste while also having a nice room note. It’s my favorite all day smoke.

Thinking of trying an english/aro blend? Here you go.
May 03, 2021
This is a very good example of the english/aro blends. To me, it has all the good burning characteristics of this genre, with a little spice added. Not sure if it is the type or amount of Latakia in the blend, but it makes this blend stand out from others in the english/aro category. If you want to branch out from the all aromatic lineup, this would not be a bad choice.

Another enjoyable tobacco from Lane Ltd. Typical Lane great smoking characteristics: lights easily, stays lit, cool smoking, plenty of smoke with little effort, and nice white ash at end of smoke.
Customer Testimonials
I've been smoking this for a couple of years now and like it very much. It's a nice change from Lane I-Q, with a little more life and sharpness to it, but not too much. The price is right, too.

Lane HGL is a cool nice burning smoke, that is a good replacement when Russ' s magnum opus is out of stock, when is almost all the time, thank heaven for Herman

I have had 6-8 bowls of my first order and enjoyed its consistent packing, lighting and burning. Very easy and effortless. The taste, for me, is a mild Virginia with an underlying tone that I would not be able to identify if I did not know it has latakia. I am a lat fan of Russ's Magnum Opus and find this blend is a good alternate. It is not one I would call bold or even strong and it has no nic effect: a requirement for me. If I was Herman Lane, know all the sellers and could have any tobacco in the world then I would smoke this blend regularly. But, then he did not have a chance to try MO.
