My Review
Lane Limited RLP-6 is (at this time) my second favorite aromatic blend. Probably no surprise since I enjoy 1-Q so much. This is another one of those blends that my wife really enjoys the room note while smoking and to be honest, this is important. While I can always go outside and smoke my pipe, the winters in Colorado can be a bit on the BRRRRR side so having plenty of blends I can smoke which do not offend my wife is always a good thing.
The more blends I experience, the more I’m realizing exactly what I like and what I don’t care for. Notice I said, “what I don’t care for”. Lane RLP-6 has all my favorite tobacco types including Virginia, Cavendish, Black Cavendish and Burley. RLP-6 often becomes an all day smoke for me if I’m just too lazy to go to my cellar to pick something else out.
If you read the reviews (which I’ve linked to below) you’ll see a lot of comparisons of RLP-6 to Captain Black White. Some entries state that RLP-6 is the same as CBW without the additives. For the record, I’ve not had the opportunity to try CBW. So I can’t comment one way or the other. However, most of what I’ve read all indicate that that RLP-6 (because it lacks all the additives included in CBW) is a better smoke. But of course, your mileage may vary.
My experience with RLP-6 has always been very positive. As I’ve already mentioned, the room note is pleasant so this means not only can I smoke this blend in my home, I also include this blend in my rotation anytime I’m going to be out smoking near the public. I also find RLP-6 to be a consistent smoke all the way down to the bottom of the bowl.
Like Lane 1-Q, I especially recommend RLP-6 for beginner pipe smokers or anyone who is looking for a low nicotine smoking experience. If you haven’t had the opportunity to try Lane Limited RLP-6, give it a try. I think you’ll enjoy it, especially if you enjoy 1-Q.
