Well I got a tin of this off ebay for a tad more then a tub of the new reissue under the lane ready rubbed name. Recently I started dwelling into burleys. Anyway I really like it. It's sweet but not to sweet. The cube cut makes it a breeze to load into the pipe. Taste wise I detect cocoa and bit of rum. My question is what should I get to replace this one it's gone the Sutcliffe match or the lane ready rubbed?

While they brought back ERR'd under the Lane Ready Rubbed name, I find it to be quite different from the original. Primarily in the cut.
My personal opinion (though others have disagreed) is that the Sutliff is not that close of a match to my taste buds.
Doesn't really answer the question, but some food for thought.

The Sutliff Match is closer than the Lane Limited. I also recommend Wessex Burley Slices, which is as close to Edgeworth Slices as you can get now.
Agreed...I find the Sutliff Match closer than the Lane...I have both and find I go to the Sutliff twice as often...while not primarily a Burley smoker, I do enjoy it enough to keep it in my rotation...
