Ladies (???) and Gents, after a long time of seeing 1-Q as a top seller, I finally broke down and got an oz of it to try. I also picked up an oz of RLP-6. I snubbed my nose at this tobacco for a long time because its a cheap aromatic.
I had 2 bowls of 1Q, 1 bowl of RLP6, and a bowl of 50/50 mix of 1q/RLP6 today.
I will be likely be buying a couple pounds of each, as the 50/50 mix was probably my favorite. This stuff is dirt cheap, too. I'll probably take advantage of the cup-o-joes sale and get it for about $1.46/oz. Just to get free shipping I'll have to buy 68 oz!!
Super easy to pack and light. Super easy to smoke. The 1Q has the distinction of being the very first tobacco I was able to smoke entirely without any dottle. After smoking 4 bowlfulls back to back, I finally was feeling some tongue bite...and I was going at it hard. Thumbs up on lack of bite.
My only complaint, really, is that compared to much more expensive and natural tobacco, I can tell this stuff is cased. In the final 3rd of the bowl, the 1Q went a little bitter on me as the topping burned off.
Why have this on hand? Its a working tobacco. In a similar vein as Carter Hall, it won't knock your socks off, but I mowed the lawn while smoking it...and I wasn't sure I could do that with a pipe.
Just wanted to share my experience. If anyone else out there is pooh-poohing this stuff just because (as I was) you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try.
Ahh, heck, lets make a PIF out of this. See the Stock Exchange if you're interested.
