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!

The jungle drums said this was a huge seller, everyone is smoking it. Maybe they meant once. I found it smoked wet with not that good of a taste; but worst of all it coated the rim of my pipe with goop. Not a blend I wanted to keep; so I split my bulk package into several and gave them away for others to try...maybe it became a favorite of theirs...or not.

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 have been a pipe smoker for over 30 years and have smoked mostly non aromatic and English blends for the last two decades. I as of late have been revisiting aromatics that I have more or less ignored for so many years. I remember smoking this blend back in the 70's and 80's and enjoying it. This blend is made up of nice cavendish, toasted cavendish, and some VA ribbon that contributes to a nutty sweet flavor profile. Finally as mentioned in most of the reviews of this blend the room note is quite appealing. I really like this blend and will be adding it to my new rotation of aromatics.

*Update* Took away a star. This blend is good as an aro, but it isn't "knock your socks of good." It's more or less a better Captain Black White. So, if you like sweet aro's you should enjoy this blend. If you don't, avoid it, and don't give it bad reviews because you don't have a sweet tooth.

I purchased this tobacco from a smokeshop under the name "Wellington." It was love at first smoke. It's not something I want to smoke every day, maybe once a week, but it sure is good. I'll definitely purchase it again.

1-Q is nutty, sweet, and tastes like tobacco. It took me a while to get the sweetness, because I didn't realize my estate briar was making all my burley's more bitter than they really were. I tried it in a brand new briar, and the sweetness suddenly stood out...

The tobacco smokes very well, stays fairly cool, isn't goopy, and needs few relights. It has a enough nicotine to notice, which is more than I can say for Captain Black. Though like the former brand, I get many compliments on the aroma it leaves behind.

I don't know why the blend doesn't get better reviews. Maybe I just got an abnormally good batch of tobacco; or I just haven't been smoking long enough (I've only been smoking for a year now). Either way, compared to Captain Black it tastes better, is less goopy, smells almost just as good, and leaves a much better aftertaste. Oh, and last thing, did I mention that it's inexpensive?

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.
