Lane Limited 1-Q

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)

This is like smoking a cigarrette. Not enjoyable for pipe smokers who want flavor or a smooth tasting tobacco. one star

Update edit: No. This is worse than smoking a ciggarette. Cigarrette have better flavor than this junk. No stars.

Another simple aromatic.I love aromatics,but this one is not a keeper.It is too mild for my taste,not enough flavor.It doesnt burn very well,and smells better than it taste.I wiil sum this one up as a low-grade simple aromatic.

I bought this from the Tinderbox in Alpharetta since I was running low on 'baccy and I needed a quick fix. This wasn't the ticket. Although I usually smoke straight burley or VA rather than flavoured blends, I figured that since Wilshire/1-Q was so popular that it must be somewhat decent, and the smell in the glass jar was enticing, so I bought an ounce. The experience I had in my Stanwell Featherweight was not conducive to the smell I experienced in the jar. The taste was like caramelizing sugar at best, and at worst, had a strong chemical taste. Apparently this blend is guilty of too much Propylene Glycol. The chemical taste overwhelmed me and I had to dump out the pipe. I definitely would not recommend this to anyone else.

@ Jshrader: You should ask Adam at the Tinderbox in Atlanta for McClelland 5100 if you haven't tried it yet. It's a light, sweet unflavored Virginia that smokes well and dry.

Don't waste your time with this. It will ruin your pipe and render it unsuitable for smoking non-aromatics. Save your time and money. YUCK!!!!!

I believe that people who choose to smoke this have the smell of the room dominate their impressions more than the taste of the tobacco.

Warning to pipe owners: this half-life of this stuff will cause it to leave its mark in the bowl to near eternity. I wouldn't recommend using your best pipes on this blend unless you love this stuff.

And, a lot of people do love this stuff. It is the most popular bulk tobacco, by far, of any in the local shops. I know (and pity) people who smoke nothing but 1Q. And, I am glad to be around when they do, as it does smell great.

But, this blend won't see any more action in my pipes.

RLP6 and HS3 are decent when their all I can get, so I do smoke Lane blends when neccisary. However, I have to wonder how this is the #1 selling bulk tobacco. Burns hot and wet, bites like a wolverine, leaves gobs of goop and will booger up your pallate and your pipe. The aroma is the only thing going for this blend. Overall, this is horrid even for Lane. I'll leave this one for the rest of the population reportedly buying in mass quantities. RLP6 and HS3 are much better offerings.

Ah yes..This is called All day Long in my local B&M. Smells good and ....well thats about it. Oh yeah it tastes like...steam. Great room note though. Perhaps they could make this in an insense stick. Because thats about all its good for. For beginners maybe if they don't want to actually taste anything resembling tobacco. 12/18/04

1-Q is a fairly run-of-the-mill prototypical aromatic designed for neophyte smokers. I cannot, for the life of me, understand this blends popularity unless there are really that many good folk experimenting with pipe smoking at any one time. Calling it "bad" would be a disservice but it gets cloying real fast and tends to mistreat your beloved briar to a nasty bowl bath. Packs easily but requires a few re-lights due to it's artificial moisture level (PG?). I bought an ounce of this but highly doubt I'll finish more than the few bowls I've already had; there are just too many better blends out there. Caveat emptor.
