Lane Limited 1-Q

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.

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).

Very good room note. Nice light sweet taste, over the top sticky sweet. Can see why this is a top tobacco.

I have only smoked one bowl of this, but I see it fit to review. i love smoking Lane's straight black Cavendish (BCA) so I was pleased to hear that this had golden Cavendish in it. This blend was sweet, smooth, delightfully aromatic, and did not bite my tongue. I say that for new pipe smokers it is a must-try, and for the seasoned smoker who wants to break away from the heavy stuff with something that can please he/she and the people around.

Call me crazy, but after almost 20 years of smoking a Pipe, I have come back to this blend. I have smoked and still enjoy VaPers, English, and other Aromatics, but this tobacco is truly an American Original. What I do is mix 6 ounces of 1-Q with 2 ounces of cubed burley, and all I can say is FANTASTIC!! Granted, it not the most complex of blends, and many think adding cubed burley would make it hotter, but it does not bother me! I smoke about a pound of pipe tobacco a month, and this is currently my all day mixture. It has to be the #1 selling pipe tobacco for a reason! I am not and never will be one of those "Tobacco Snobs"...smoke what you like and enjoy!! Happy Puffing!

1-Q has a lot of amazing properties that make it vastly appealing to the pipe smoking crowd. The pipe never gets too hot, just warm. The smoke is always smooth, virtually no bite, smokable all day. The tobacco doesn't surprise you with heat or bad taste halfway down the bowl. It arrives with hands-down perfect consistency and moisture. A great taste and a great aroma; it is commonly said to be a blend that both the smoker and the smokers' acquaintances will at the least tolerate. All of these factors make it a great choice for anyone on the totem pole.

The small downside was that I couldn't taste all the flavors until I was done smoking (but that's pretty much expected for me!)

Please note that I am a beginner as of this writing, thanks.

I?ve been smoking tobacco pipes for a little over 3 years now and I would have to say that this is one of my favorites. I am still relativily new to the world of Pipe tobaccos and my knowledge is very limited but, as of right now, 1-Q is 5 star. I bought bag at a tobacconist in Moscow, ID and after my first bag, I had to get some for my private stash. The Tobacconist called it ?Smokey?s Supreme?. Even though the other tobaccos I have in my stash stay pretty dry, this one remains moist under the same circumstances... kind of odd. If you arn?t carful about how you are smoking, this tobacco can heat the pipe up faily quickly and give a little tongue bite, it took me a few bowls to figure it out. The pipe I?m using is some cheap churchwarden knock off from the Czech Republic.

The room aroma is fantasic! I think it is just the right amount of vanilla and caramel and it doesn?t overpower the senses. The taste isn?t as strong as I would have liked but, if you?re standing in front of your tobacco case wondering what to smoke 1-Q or BCA. The price is also one of the bonuses. This tobacco is REALLY inexpensive (God bless the bulk varieties...) so you can hang on to large amounts for you stash and do all kinds of experimenting. I would strongly recommend this tobacco to anyone, veterans and newcomers alike. Enjoy!

Man, i gotta say, after my inital attempts at pipe smoking in college-- with a grabow and cherry borkum riff or captain black-- i was turned off to aromatic tobaccos, but recently picked up some 1Q (sold by my tobacconist as yorkshire) as sort of a token of appreciation to my wife who'd bought me a nice mastro beraldi oom paul. i figured she deserved to encounter me smoking something other than a latakia rich blend ( i happen to think latakia smells terrific and occasionally she'll compliment me on a latakia blend--most notably odyssey, believe it or not). surpisingly, i get good tobacco flavor from this stuff. the addition of the fire cured is what really makes this blend for me. also as an eenglish/balkan and va/per smoker, i must confess to envying those who walk past puffing a nice vanilla/creamy/chocolate scented pipe tobacco. with 1Q i can do so without feeling queasy and/or burning my tongue.
