A gourmet tabacco
July 26, 2017
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
To me this is the #1 tabacco among the few absolute favorites I have. The most exquisite taste and nose to my palette. I feel like eating it, it effects me so.
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Got up and checked email, low and behold "in stock notification", and I nabbed 8oz. Over a year in waiting.
I am happy. Simple and all by itself. Not overly complex, I agree w/beefy, and taste a stoved or toasted VA, with the earthy LAT... Read More
really elevating the body. Not overpowered, but a strong Balkan nonetheless. Next time, your turn. Read Less

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
I absolutely love this stuff. Wish they were not out of it for so long at a time.
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Frankly, my first bowl of this was underwhelming at best. That is simply due to all the DFK and cigar leaf my palette has grown accustomed to. This is a smooth refined blend. like a sipping whiskey. Once I removed my preconceptions, and just took it... Read More
for what it was, I really enjoyed this blend.
My first couple of bowls were in a clay pipe, I switched to an Old Dominion cob and that really kicked up the flavor. Virginia just loves those Old Dominion cobs.
Now, this is a fairly robust priced blend. But after a couple days, I think I'll keep this in my rotation. Read Less

Slices of Heaven
July 24, 2019
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Waited for about two years to finally grab some Lancer Slices. They are worth the hype. A wonderfully delicious, creamy and cool smoke. Quickly becoming one of my favorite blends.
不错的一款LV调配
February 27, 2023
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
LV配方目前抽过的都很不错，这又是一款重L，奶香浓郁醇厚，总是觉得跟老铁甲、霍莉的发现这两款草很相似。
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
我一般喜欢抽v，但也可以抽L，v抽多了就换下L草换下口味，这款草真奶香，过鼻不刺平滑顺畅，斗温也好控制，放了几个月了更加醇香，不错！
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
味道很不错，可以一战
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
没点燃前有很重的烧烤的味道，揉草后手指头会很脏。抽起来具有V草甜甜的口感以及L草特有的味道，美中不足的是层次比较简单，缺少变化。

Sweet Latakia

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Been smoking this off and on. A great balance of both blends. An excellent smoke that leaves a sweet aftertaste long after you finish.
Keeps getting better

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
I bought 4oz and smoked a bowl right away and it was good. Not an overcomplicated blend but the components work together nicely. Now at about a year and a half of age it has become one of my favorites. Smooth, creamy, smoky, sweet wirh just the right... Read More

So, I ordered an entire 500 gram bag without ever trying this, as I knew I would like it. I am glad I did, because somehow my bag was from 2015! Because of that, this is an extremely smooth, smoky blend with a hint of sweetness. Fusilier's ration ... Read More
is probably my favorite tobacco and this is just like it somehow, without the top note or cavendish. I need to be careful that I don't smoke this all up at once, as I doubt the next bag I buy will have this much age on it. Oh, and the cut is shattered flakes that are over a foot long to boot! God bless whoever blended this. Read Less
Tastes like VA and Latakia
January 24, 2020
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Sweet creosote. Lancer's Slices is a muted English flake with a woody - not so sweet VA and heavily-fired Latakia. The Latakia has a very strong dry, woody creosote taste and at times seems to overpower the Virginia. But usually what I taste is a v... Read More
ery well pressed and melded flake whereby the VA and Latakia are indistinguishable from another. The Latakia isn't your typical Latakia... it's heavily fired, and this is contrary to the more common medium fired we so often encounter.
It’s a descent alternative, to many of the Sam Gawith Latakia flakes, which are so difficult to find. This has light body and is a tad stronger in nicotine, which is unexpected. It's a very simple VA/LAT flake that works any time of year. Nic is 3 out of 5. Read Less
Close to the original Bengal Slices
March 29, 2019
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
A pure, unabashed, English broken flake tobacco. The room note is extraordinary, deep, and rich. The smell took me all the way back to 1972, sitting at the tobacco counter in my Grandfather's Farm Supply store and Oliver Tractor dealership in Michiga... Read More
n. It is a perfect blend of Latakia and Virginia tobaccos, neither one overpowers the other. It smokes cool, burns slow, even for an aggressive puffer like me. A bowl in a Missouri Meerschaum General, which is a big pipe, lasted over an hour and a half and didn't require a relight for almost 40-minutes. Read Less
Lancer Slices
October 16, 2017
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Ordered a little bit to go with Black Bayou mist which is a favorite of mine. Did not expect much. Wow! Just read the first review with which I agree. This is great stuff.

Easily a top 5 for me

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Smooth, cool, sweet, smoky. Not your average campfire. More like 4th of July BBQ. Could not be happier to have bought the last 8oz this round.
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Long, dark, slightly broken flakes. The rich scent of far eastern tobaccos, (Latakia) that have been smoked over wood fires. The naturally sweet tingle of Virginia tobacco. I remember no English style tobacco as good as Lancer Slices in my forty-five... Read More

Great Tobacco Flavor
July 11, 2019
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Rich, uncomplicated flavor. I can see why everybody likes it so much. This is a blend that will always be good, but it's a little too uncomplicated to get 5 stars.
I'll order more next time it decides to show up.
Tasty and easy smoking
October 25, 2017
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Smokes cool and dry. Midbowl the Lat evens out and the Va becomes more evident. Buy the 500g bag to ensure you get unmolested flakes.

Value, Process, Pleasure
March 08, 2017
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Value: Not the cheapest, but I feel I got what I paid for. In game theory I believe they call it a "fair" game.
Process: Whatever that process was - they could not have done it better.
Pleasure: Some tobacco needs a list of both +'s and -'s. So... Read More
me cause you to recall both pleasure and pain. Some you wish you could find, some you wish the cellar would swallow up. In my view, this stuff has no minuses, it is nothing but pleasure, and I am very happy to have found it. It involves no compromise for me - I am a fan. Read Less

Looked through the cellar today and found A big jar of Lancers from 2015. My word this is a treat. The lat is laid back and the virginia is sweeter. a happy accident. Forgetfulness created this tasty smoke.
Can I eat this stuff?

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
The first time I ordered this, I had to pick it up from the PO on my way to work. Brought the box in with me because it was below zero and didn't want to leave it in the car. I opened up the box when I got there and had to take a sniff. Sweet baby Je... Read More
bus. I felt like Richard Pryor in the eighties- I couldn't stop sniffing. I wanted to eat it. Not a super productive day for me. Rushed home after work and lit one up. How can something so seemingly simple be so damn good? There is a flavor there that I can't describe, but I crave. It's trusty stuff. Always good. Not overly complex, but sometimes that is just what is needed. Read Less

Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
Just how I prefer my Latakia, with a little bit of sweetness. Nothing overly special here but a well balanced well blend. The Latakia provides the camp fire smoke and the virginia provides the sweetness. I don’t like a lot of perique or orientals in ... Read More

Odd guy out ....
August 10, 2021
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
I really don't like it. Very distinct aroma. It burns nice, but not for me. I went off the reviews but was disappointed. Smells like a mechanic with wearing old spice and grease. My least favorite so far.

st the herbs in the Latakia? Having grown up with a lot of campfires and spent a fare amount of time trying to keep the smoke out of my eyes and throat (though it annoyingly seemed to follow me everywhere) I don't mind a bit of the woody smokiness but ive had my share of that taste already and I'm not that enamored with Latakia in general because of it. I need a lot more in a blend to make it interesting. For me, this can be a fantastic winter smoke but not a daily.
Update: few more bowls, actually the Latakia seems pretty well balanced with the Virginia. Kind of growing on me. Read Less
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
This is a great Vir/Lat mix. Full smelling room note, great full taste however, smother than you might think. I recommend if you like big blends.

Rubs out easily, great flavor range and medium nic hit . A gem to watch the rugby with.
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
500g bag will be delivered as enormous, beautiful flakes, not broken. Fans of the genre (Va/Lat) will be satisfied, there may be better options flavor wise, but you can't beat the price.

te were different but after a few minutes, i was just seduced. It has a slight cedarish taste, both latakia and the orientals are very well balanced, taste and aftertaste are both delicios, like a good merlot or an espresso stretto, but gentle and velvety. Wish it had more Virginias. Read Less

February 24, 2018

Similar to Sam Gawith’s winter time flake. Not overly complicated or anything like that but I get tired of it in large bowls because of that simplicity which is not the tobacco’s fault.

Delightful English Blend
August 10, 2017
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
One of a handful of my favorite English blends. It has a rich, full-bodied flavor—one mostly composed of Latakia but also a deep earthiness. I like my blends strong, and I'd place the nicotine content at ~7 out of 10. The one and only thing I wished ... Read More
it had was slightly better presentation. Lancer Slices are the torn-up flakes which many of us are used to seeing, but in bulk they tend to fall apart and get quite a bit of chafe at the bottom of the bag. I would prefer these in actual slices or flakes (think SPC's Plum Pudding or the thick flake of Samuel Gawith's S.J.F.). All the same, I like it very much. Lancer Slices have quickly become an everyday blend for me, but that may not be the case for many, being rather heavy with both Latakia and nicotine. If you love English blends, I suspect you'll enjoy these. Read Less

y satifying, just the thing for slightly cooler evenings--even in Florida! As one reviewer mentioned, very similar in makeup to SG Balkan Flake, with no Oriental component other than Latakia--I think slightly smoother with no "Lakeland" overtones. Just a well crafted, nicely presented broken flake, I like to use this one to break in pipes which will be used for Latakia blends. Don't expect the complexities of say, White Knight, but just kick back and enjoy! Read Less

Beefy Maple
November 29, 2012
Product: F & K Lancer Ready Rubbed Bulk
This is beefy stuff and delicious. Very reliable for me with every smoke. Good sweetness from the VAs and the Latakia is blended with it fantastically. Maple-sweet, but heady and smokey. Both extremes are here.
