I tried this blend and found it to be a very friendly smoke. It's tasty, mild and a comfort smoke. it's a blend that can be an everyday smoke. Others have mentioned that it's nothing more than Captain Black. I disagree ..... while it does resemble CB slightly .... it's much smoother ...... another level above. 1-Q is become one of my favorite smokes. I will smoke this daily ... I recommend this to beginners and veterans alike. If you like a tobacco that is mild ..... no bite ...... tasty ...then you should definitely try 1-Q. I understand why this is one of the most popular tobacco blends. It's very yummy! It has a well disguised sweet caramel, vanilla taste but subdued. It is one of my two favorite smokes ...the other being Butternut Burley! The price makes this blend truly a bargain. I will keep it well stocked.

A lot of people like this stuff. I don't judge them one bit. I have some of this on-hand and smoke it on occaision, myself. However, 1Q just doesn't do anything for me. I like the taste of tobacco and I don't find it in this. Don't get me wrong; I love a lot of tobaccos with a bit of a topping, such as University Flake, Epiphany, Bob's Chocolate Flake, etc., butthis one, not so much. If aromatics are your thing, this is a good one, but it's just not my cup of tea. On a positive note, the wife loves the way it smells!

Lane Limited Bulk No. 1-Q Star Rating = 4 Rating Scores - 10 is the Best and 0 is the Worst Pouch Note = 10 Room Note = 10 Flavor = 9 Bite = 10 Burn = 9 After Taste = 9 Raw Score = 57 Rated Percentage = 95% Comment = Very Mild, Smooth, Mellow, Not much Flavor but it is a little Sweet. Trout Stream from HPCS Adirondack at Pipes and Cigars is better than 1-Q

When I first took to the pipe, this was among my first tobaccos; following a recent revisit (my smoking horizons broadened considerably in the interim), I regret that all I can say is, "Meh". Not really remarkable (or offensive, for that matter) in any way. Would concur with Smoke Ring that "Trout Steam" offers a more enjoyable, lighlty caramel-flavored smoke

If you like this blend, you have to admit to yourself that you like captain black. It's frustrating seeing so many people compliment this blend while making disparaging remarks about OTC's like captain black. 1Q IS captain black royal. no if's and's or but's. I myself find it to be very unpleasant. The disgusting sour taste that creeps in halfway through the bowl. How artificial and chemically the flavoring is. How wet/goopy/greasy the tobacco is to the touch. This blend will absolutely ghost a pipe with that sour chemically layer of soot. In my novice days I had to resuscitate many a pipe after exposing them to this blend and other blends like it. My advice is to skip all captain black blends.

A favorite aromatic for me - maybe one of my top handful. Nothing disagreeable here - good flavor, great aroma (both in the jar and in the room). It packs, lights, and puffs very nicely. A bit more forgiving in the Bite area than many other aromatics. I can easily understand how this is an "all day smoker" for some folks. There is no reason to say no.

Easy smoking tobacco. Great bag note, unfortunately it did not translate well into the taste or room. Tasted still very good still.

I used to turn my nose up at this blend. Years and experience have taught me otherwise. So, rather than judge it upon what it's not, I'll judge it on what it is supposed to be. A pleasant tasting, mild aromatic that could be smoked all day. Smoked properly, there is minimal tongue bite. While there may be better blends out there, none are as available as 1-Q.

I'm giving this 4 stars for a couple of reasons. First, it never pretends to be something it's not, and what it is is a very fine mild aromatic blend that burns great, tastes good and never offends even the most finicky bystander. Second, for the price, it can't be beat for an everyday, or even an 'on occasion' smoke. For under $32 a pound it's cheaper than your typical drug store blend and there's no excuse not to keep some on hand if you like a mild, pleasant smoke. For more body try mixing this in equal parts with Carter Hall and smoke it in a corn cob pipe. Very enjoyable and an improvement over just 1Q alone IMO.

Great every day smoke available everywhere sometimes can be a little too mild and to sweet definitely will always have it on hand. Definitely goops up your pipe even after drying it for a while.

Very cheap tobacco (price). Good tin aroma, not enough nicotine for my liking. From what I have been told, the room note is good.

This is not what I think of as a tobacco. It looks like tobacco but I really don't taste anything other than an occasional whips of vanilla. Don't expect this to help if you need a Nick hit either. I did finish my 2oz. bulk but I usually smoke outside at night. This blend has to be smoked during the day so you know if it is lit or not (OK that might be extreme but it makes the point)!

The most goopy, ghostly, bite prone Lane Limited i have tried. Turned me off of aromatics completely. Sorry not my baccy. There are way better aromatics out there. Only benefit of this baccy is its room note and availability.(Lane Limited tobaccos are always found jared up and renamed in tobacco shops)

I stopped into my neighborhood B&M. The guy admitted that he was mostly a cigar smoker, but that this (they call it "Ladies Love It") was their best seller. I bought an ounce, and have been in love ever since! If you are an aromatic smoker, how can you not love this?!?! It packs, lights, and smokes easily. It never bites, and it gets even more delicious as you get closer to the bottom of the bowl. Finally, like the title suggests, the ladies DO love it! Never had anything but compliments about 1Q. Plus, you can get it EVERYWHERE (under dozens of different names)!! It is what you'll find in my pouch, and usually in my pipe! Update (12/26/2012): I got some more of this from my Secret Santa yesterday completely by accident! She only knew that I liked to smoke a pipe and had never bought pipe tobacco before. So, she stopped by her local B&M and got me an ounce of their "24K", not knowing what it was. Anyway you name it, it's still 1-Q! Lucky for me!! Thanks, Santa!!

This is known as a good base blend, and indeed it is! But this also means that there are better guys waiting out there being good just by themselves. Yeah very good! Still I forgo about it.

Oh with the hype surrounding this blend,,i finally had the chance to try it out during the chicago pipe show..i ended up with 2 pounds purchase eventually!!! the blend is fine ribbon cut that seems to be dipped in molasses, luckely that is not the character it reflects throughout the smoke. very consistant blend, burns without problem leaving fine ash and some times few dottels if u smoke it fast, taste reminds me of captain black some where between gold and royal but this one have a better quality casing to it and lacks the combustion heat that the former blend produce. price is reasonably cheap when purchased in bulk, the room note is acceptable by many and the only draw back it has is the fine cut which makes it burn fast leaving you craving for more. i would smoke this blend slowly as it can hit u back where it hurts (yes your tounge).

My regular smoke for over 10 years now. I tend to puff this while working - reading, researching,and writing. It is a regular smoke not because better blends don't exist but because it is a pleasant puff that does not interfere with my daily routine (either because it is so good that I have to stop and enjoy or because it so bad that I can't stand it). Opening the far, the aroma is nutty and sweet, and the room aroma hints of chocolate and cinnamon (that's what others tell me). The blend of tobacco an flavoring is balanced, although flavoring is such that it requires a slightly slower puffing pace to avoid smoking too hot and wet. It is hard to add to what has already been said about the positive qualities listed in other reviews. This tobacco is usually one of the better selling blends at most pipe shops, and each shop will give it their own name. I recommend this blend for anyone who is looking to migrate away from the sweeter (and often heavily cased) aromatics. This burns well to the bottom of the bowl as long as you regulate the pace of the puff. It does not offend - either the smoker or others, but it does not maintain the taste of the pure tobacco to the bottom of the bowl, particularly if puffed too vigorously (it can turn a bit sour for those who puff faster).

I tried Lane 1Q at the urging of a friend and based on reviews and I was quite pleased! Easily a daily smoke, I buy this in bulk and love it. Folks around always have a positive comment on its aroma. Its mild in the nicotine department and I recommend it to new pipe smokers regularly.
