Ok. Here's the deal. Supposedly Tinderbox sold the blend to lane and lane then called the blend 1q...not true at all.
Wilshire is 1Q, was always 1Q, tinderbox had nothing to do with the creation of this blend. Call the original store in CA, they'll tell you the same thing.
With that said, it's delicious. But 45 a lb from tinderbox is steep, I'll buy it from any other online source under its original labeling of 1Q

I got acquainted with Lane's I-Q (aka Wilshire at Tinderbox outlets), back in the late 1970s where it was known as "Special #2" at the old Pipe Pub franchise shops located around the southwest. I am glad this one is in the database and will give fellow pipe smokers knowledge regarding what they are actually purchasing if they pick up a pouch at a Tinderbox Chain Store.
This is one of my all-time favorite aromatic blends. It is nutty, sweet, tastes like tobacco, has a bit of nicotine strength, is very cool burning and is enjoyed tremendously by those non-smokers who happen to be around me while I'm puffing on this classic. Enjoyed by pipe smokers worldwide in droves, it is not THE all-time top selling Lane tobacco blend for no reason.
Good anytime, day or night... If you have a sweet tooth.

I was swayed by your reviews and glad I tried Wilshire. Not much of a selection here in Palm Springs and never was a fan of Tinder Box. This one is something I would try again. Very smooth with good aroma. This would be a great beginner.

Tinderbox recently sent me an email offering a sample of Wilshire if I purchased some other stuff. I've been hearing about Wilshire forever, but never tried any before. Yes this is the Lane 1Q renamed. So what? This is the #1 seller in the US. I let some dry out for 3 hours. It's a very very nice aromatic. No bite. Lots and lots of smoke. No gurgles. The cleanup is no worse than any other aromatic. A wonderful smell and taste. 2 matches and that was it. I can see why this is the biggest seller. There is nothing wrong here. You could smoke this all day and never complain. Probably the perfect aromatic.

This is my favorite tobacco. It doesn't bite at all and is a great smoking experience. It is a very mild and easy to handle tobacco for a beginner or occasional smoker.
