I know this and 1-Q are among the most loved aromatic tobaccos. I just can't get with it.
It's way too wet for one thing. I tried spreading it out on a newspaper to dry it. I let it sit for 4 whole days! I even put some of the paper and paper towels on top of it, with some books on top of that.
And it was still too moist to keep lit. Many relights, as in too many.
Yes it smells good in the bag and in the smoke. Wife loves the smell. Unfortunately, it leaves a goopy mess behind.
The only taste that is overpowering is that damn PG. Why do they have to use that crap? Can't they just dry out some vanilla beans and crush them into the Cavendish?
Seriously, I have almost given up on aromatics altogether, save for a select few. Nutty Irishman is one of them, along with War Horse Bar if you can find it, and the We Three Kings is a superb choice. The only other one I can tolerate is original Borkum Riff. I don't detect any PG in those.
That being said, I will stick with English blends, dark fired Kentucky, and pure Latakia.

Too good to use for experimental blending but great for previous self blends

I ordered to with the intent of using it for blending. I filled a bowl to taste test it so I'd know what I was dealing with. This is fine all alone and will go into my rotation as is. Best Black Cavendish I've ever tasted. I will use this for my own blends that have worked for me in the past, FI: 1Q, RLP6 and this in equal amount and allow it to age for 3 months or 7Seas Regular and this @ 3:1.ready to smoke immediately but does need to dry a bit before packing. Good stuff....Read More

Smells and tastes like Autumn Evening, difference is this one is hard to light and needs a lot of re-lights. Used it for blending and worked fine.
Dark, Soft, and Effortless

Lane BCA is a classic black Cavendish aromatic built around smoothness. The pouch aroma is rich with cocoa and soft vanilla, darker and less bright than many fruit-forward aromatics. It smells sweet, but not sharp.

The cut is a fine black ribbon typical of Cavendish blends. It tends to arrive
on the moist side and benefits from a short drying period. Once dialed in, it packs easily and lights without much resistance.

In the bowl, BCA is mild and velvety. The flavor leans toward chocolate and brown sugar with a gentle vanilla undertone. It does not offer much complexity or development; instead, it provides a consistent, creamy sweetness from start to finish. The underlying tobacco presence is subtle and mostly serves as structure for the casing.

It burns cool when sipped and is forgiving, though it can produce some moisture if pushed. A pipe cleaner mid-bowl keeps things tidy.

The room note is one of its strongest assets — soft, sweet, and broadly appealing.

For me, BCA is best approached as a comfort smoke: uncomplicated, smooth, and easygoing. Those looking for bold flavor shifts or tobacco-forward depth may find it too restrained, but for a mellow aromatic experience, it delivers exactly what it promises.

If you like to have a variety of aromatics. This one should be on your list. Its not the best thing ever but it is something I like to enjoy regularly. In my opinion 3 stars is a pretty good rating and thats where I rate most things I like. I save 4 and up for things that are a must have and something that is very special. I doubt you will regret getting this one....Read More
