Lane 1-Q

My Lane favorite. Virginia with a little burley combination flavored to vanilla. Everyone compliments its good room note.

I have tried a LOT of pipe tobaccos while searching for that perfect, ideal blend. 1-Q is the tobacco that when people that say “my grandfather used to smoke a pipe and I loved the smell.”- 1-Q is the smell they remember. It is perfect in every way. About the only other tobacco I have ever tried that even comes close is Autumn Evening by Cornell & Diehl, and even they are a very distant 2nd place. To sum up: If I had to pick one tobacco for the rest of my life, my “desert island” choice, it would be 1-Q. My favorite thing to do in my later years is to sit in my armchair with a good book with a bowl of 1-Q.

It has a little bite which I was surprised at. Have bought it other times before and it didn’t have a bite at all. Awesome buy overall.

Best pipe tobacco. Was fresh and well packaged. Will order again

Still my favorite tobacco as it’s very consistent and a good smoke anytime of day.

Long time favorite behind Trout Stream

I created my personal blend of 8 oz Lane BCA mixed with 4 oz Lane Limited 1-Q. A smooth and aromatic smoke. In other words, I like it. In the retaining jar, I also have a Boveda size 60 package laying on top of the tobacco to maintain moisture control. This same review is under Lane BCA.

vinyl daily zipper pouch is cheeply constructed.

One of the best smoking tobaccos I have tried

Excellent for all day smoke.

Smooth smoking with a good taste and great smell and it is mild to boot. I have been smoking it for years.

Wow! So tasty and flavorful. No bite, Burns well to bottom of bowl. Can’t beat it

don't know about base or plan , surprise seems to get better at the end

Not sure why you would smoke anything else....its # 1 for reason

Great all day smoke. Lights well, stays lit, burns clean, a room note everybody likes... I've also mixed 1Q 50/50 with RLP-6 and love that combination. The 1Q adds some additional sweetness to the RLP-6, and the RLP-6 adds a tad more complexity to the taste and room note.

It's a good nice smoke

Lanes 1-Q is my all time favorite go to blend. I love the convenience of on line ordering from Pipes and Cigars

This is absolutely one of my favorites tastes awesome and smells even better I love this tobacco.

Good smoke.

have been smoking it for years never a bad batch; highly recomended

My first pipe tobacco, and a great one to start with. Smelled great out of the bag and smoked evenly and through the pipe. The tobacco came in fresh and well humidified, so I could get smoking right away! Enjoyed the body and taste of this- a real great beginner tobacco for someone beginning smoking a pipe like myself!

I really enjoy this blend. It has become my everyday smoke. It gets many great comments from the people around me (good room note), and yet still stays interesting for the smoker. It reminds me of a light campfire, with a touch of sweetness from the vanilla. Mellow, but not so much that it is boring. There is a reason why that Lane 1-Q has so many reviews - it is truly a great tobacco blend. A similiar blend would be Cornell and Diehl's Autumn Evening - but I like 1Q better.

I like lane 1-a. It is smith, has a nice room note. It can be an all day smoke.

I buy it for a friend It is his favorite

Great tobacco for us beginners in the pipe arena. The word was out about this pipe mixture and it did not disappoint. Smokes very nice with a good base and a great smell/sensation but not overpowering. As always the transaction from P & C was great and the quality was top notch.

I love Lane I Q. One of my favorite tobaccos.

Decent

Great buy

I started out blending 1-Q when I was 16 years old at Briar Place in Boulder Colorado as an apprentice. I have never had a problem mixing with perique or heavy cased tobaccos. Best price and same taste. Every puff is a wonderful memory to me.

OK

This review is from the perspective of a novice pipe smoker. I've dipped my toes into pipe smoking in the past but tongue bite killed my interest. Nowadays, anything you want to know can usually be found on YouTube.com and so I recently learned what causes tongue bite and how to avoid it. So I bought a pipe and some Lane 1-Q. Because the pipe I was using (a Mr. Brogs no. 39) was brand new I loaded a third of a bowl and stepped out on my back porch and lit up. Being careful to sip, the smoke the session lasted about 10 minutes. The experience was very pleasurable and I had no tongue bite. I don't know enough about tobacco's to really describe it and I have no frame of reference, but I know I liked it. The tobacco itself smells wonderful and the moisture seems just right. I expect I'll be keeping some of this tobacco around from now on, as a try more boutique tobacco's.

loved it

My wife loves it..thats good enough for me lol

A great aromatic smoke

Love mixing this with Black Kathy, Makes for a wonderful smoke

This one for sure had me from the beginning

Good aroma. Bite is light. I'll buy it again.

Always Excellent product and excellent customer service.. buy what you need here.

1-Q is great by itself for an evening pipe or mixed with BCA and Burley-Light-Without-A-Bite for an all day smoke. I get a lot of compliments from non pipe smokers on the room note.

It's good all-around tobacco. I just prefer the other a little more

Classic blend. Judged by Time Herself, it succeeds In the good old days, a good pipe tobacco filled a room with a most pleasant scent. To be honest, pipe tobacco tends to smell better than it tastes. This one is an exception. 1Q nearly sounds like IQ. I understand Albert Einstein used to smoke a pipe. He was a true genius.

Sweet and aromatic. Highly recommend

Smooth

It was alright, with all the positive reviews I expected something with an outstanding flavor but it was just ok. I'm not a regular pipe smoker anymore I just pull it out on special occasions. I tried all the basics " captain blacks half n half " but the one that I think has been the best so far was McBaron 7 seas regular it has a great flavor and a pleasant room note that everyone seems to enjoy. I think it might be the Black Cavendishs that I prefer. Not a bad tobacco at all though.

This is one of my favorite blends its a nice cool slow burning smoke with great aroma I have gotten multiple compliments on the room note it makes the house smell great I love the lane blends and sutliff aromatic blends I will keep buying the lane 1q

When women smell this they start taking their clothes off

first time trying Lane, so far so good!!

I'm thinking to gift wrap this one for my brother in-laws birthday . . ,

Has a good room smell, a good balance between a sweet vanilla lite flavor an earthy tobacco, and I would recommend this as an excellent everyday smoke. My favorite tobacco so far hands down.

What I say about this could easily apply to any Lane product. They all have great flavor, mellow vanilla for this one. They all produce good smoke, vs just air and wispyness. They all have a great room note, my wife and forest animals seem to love them. I even had an eagle swoop down and try to steal my pouch of lane. (well almost). Foremost, for aros, they all burn exceptionally well. Very little gloop and most burns to a fine ash without effort. Lane for Life!

What can I say it's number one for a reason

Smooth taste one of three I rotate for my smoking pleasure.

Very aromatic and no bite

Perfect tobacco that remands consistent over the years.

I use this to mix one part IQ and three parts BCA. I constantly get positive comments on the aroma.

I thought I would give 1-Q a try after hearing so much about it. It is now part of my go to mixtures in my group of daily smokes. It’s smooth/cool burning and just enough flavor to be called an aromatic...a very satisfying smoke.

Lane limited 1-Q is my favorite tobacco. It has a subtle sweetness and burns great without any tough bite. I will be buying it for a long time to come, and you can’t beat the price here at pipesandcigars.com.

Good stuff.

Good smoke

Its very mild..I was looking for something close to captain black regular. This is not it. I like English and balken styles with captain black as my aeromatic favorite. CBR is hard to beat.

In my opinion it tastes a lot like captain black.

Consistent quality and satisfaction

good

Very nice, smooth vanilla flavor.. Comparable to Hoyo.

Smooth smoke. Not hot and burns evenly. Good flavor.

Mild with a pleasant aroma.

Perfect choice for a mild, all day smoke. the room note is very pleasant and is always complimented when I smoke in public.

very enjoyable and smooth. i finally found what i ve been looking for in a pipe tobacco

Nice aromatic flavor and room note. Smoke all day, no complaints. Probably will keep at least one jar of this on hand at all times.

This is as good as you are going to get as an aromatic to keep around for guests or when you get a wild hair to have something light and sweet.

Lane has some excellent tobacco blends. 1Q is definitely at the top. I always keep it on hand.

This is going to be my main "go to" pipe tobacco from now on!

Very mild, pleasant taste. When lit, tamped, and re-lit, I usually get a half hour smoke in my pipes. Not sure of the aroma , but nobody has complained!

As advertised Excellent we'll purchase again

Heard lots of good things about this tobacco,I love it,gets better after I let it sit in the jar awhile,smokes cool with no bite,my all day smoke.

Everyone who happens to smell this tobacco comments how wonderful it smells and this is also how it tastes. Mild, yet flavorful, 1-Q is a joy in all respects. It is the apotheosis of a GREAT smoke. I appreciate that Pipes and Cigars makes it quite affordable and they deliver it so fast. This is an A+ product to accompany the already superior selection offered by thes company. Well done, guys and gals!!

Just the perfect aromatic dor a beginner. This tobacco made me love the pipe smoking. It is smooth and tasty.

Great mixture. This may be a top contender for a selection of tobacco to have on hand.

A great tobacco!

I really liked this tobacco. Great room note and and smokes well. I had no problems keeping it lit. Very mild pleasing taste with no bite.

love it

Some tobaccos were too thick and moist some were hot and dry so I ended up blending ..like chocolate mousse and the Q1 for a happy medium.

Excellent product using it for years

Excellent product....smokes smooth and has a bit of a sweet taste. After trying numerous tobaccos, Lane is my favorite!

Smooth smoke has become one of my favorites.

I've gone back to a pipe after a number of years as a cigar smoker. I'm looking for that perfect blend and so far Lane Limited is the best I've found. My only wish is that once I've found the balance that I like that I could purchase 6 or 8 blends in the same category so I could zero in on the perfect mixture without purchasing a large amount of tobacco that I might not want. It would be nice if Pipes and Cigars offered a consulting service for guys like me.

This is my favorite tobacco. I will order it again I have been buying it from a local tobacco shop. And been paying 4 times the amount that I buy it from P&C.

All the way around a good smoking tobacco..

Smooth

As a new smoker, I had to try the best seller, as many recommended it to me. It was a great blend to start with, as it was mild, burned well and had little or no bite. It also tasted great! I am not experienced enough to give you a rundown of the flavors, but they worked well to produce something I will be smoking for a long while.

Very good

Awesome everything !

Smooth as a babies behind, no bite (regardless how hard and often you puff on your stem). Now with that said don't let it dry out as it will.................get hot as it burns hotter than if it had some moisture in it. On the overall it is one of the smoothest pipe tobaccos on the market to day.

My go to for a change of pace there is a reason this is the #1 tobacco in the world.

A mild pipe tobacco with excellent aroma and smoking characteristics. It has no specific added flavor. The pipe bowl burn quality is good.

Great stuff, and the wife loves the room note. There's a reason it's the number one aromatic. I would definitely recommend this blend.

This is one blend that new pipe smokers should be introduced to. If they aren't into aromatics they will be after a round of 1-Q.

As a new pipe smoker this stuff is great! Very smooth and mellow introduction. The flavor is very nice and is a balance of tobacco and flavoring. Would recommend to anyone.

One of my favorites.

old reliable you cant beat

Very pleasant smoke

its very good product and reasonable price. I used to smoke captain black-royal-gold for many years. Thanks

Q1 is one of my favorite tobacco. It is very well balanced and I enjoy it very much. But I also enjoy the service I get from your company. Your customer service is outstanding.

All good 👍👍👍

I have literally smoked pounds of this blend over the years. It’s one of the best all day smokes that Lane makes.

New to smoking a pipe and wasn’t sure what I was doing. I purchased a pipe and some Captain Black at a nearby smoke shop and started my journey. Came up on Pipes and Cigars on line and was very impressed with the site and the helpful reviews and Lane 1-Q had great reviews. I ordered 8oz. of 1-Q, a pipe and some other accessories and was surprised that it was delivered one day earlier than expected. I am very happy with 1-Q , just as described and the majority of the reviews are spot on. Pipes and Cigars is going to be my go to suppler. Thank you.

Fresh & Excellent in every way!!!

I'm always on the search for affordable blends that don't bite my tongue. Although the flavor and cut is fine, I'm afraid I'm a bit disappointed in that regard. I'm unlikely to order it again.

Great base blend!

I like added flavor

This is my favorite smoke after a hard day working, and when I am out fishing and relaxing in the woods.

loved it. ordered a tin too.

Quite mild / mello. Best feature is a pleasant room note. Great value for a smoke that isn't demanding.

My favorite for years

This has been my go to for several years now. Smooth and mellow.

Good smoking

Nice and smooth

I love it and everyone that walks by me and smells it I am told they love the smell. Its a very smooth smoking tobacco.

Smooth and mild. Aroma is pleasant and often draws compliments from others. Price makes it affordable to everyone.

Old stand-by. Constant daily smoke for 20+ years.

favorite for many years

Good smoke mellow

Im a newb. Its good.

Nice and smooth. It burns good. And the smoke has a pleasant room note. I recommend it.

was looking more for a toasted marshmellow aroma

Lane 1-Q and Lane MV1000 are my main tobacco. Easy smoking.

My number 2 mixer with my other flavors

Best darn tobacco blend in my opinion. After all, I have been using this blend for over 25yrs. It seems the aroma is enjoyed by all who come in contact with it. It has started conversations with people over the memories of dads and grandpas and the smell of their pipe smoke. Also it brings up the fact on how pipe smoke is more pleasant than cigarettes.

Nice blend, taste even burn. Enjoyable smoke.

Excellent turn around time.

I really enjoyed this mix, had a very good room note, as with reading comments, it was spot on and doesn't disappoint.

This is a mild tobacco that you can smoke all day. Has a pleasing taste and smell.

Easily one of the main go to tobacco. I never understood why it was so popular but after buying some you will understand.

Good pipe tobacco. Very enjoyable!

Great Smoke

Excellent

I've smoked 1Q for years, and it is still the best I have tried.

Very pleasant

This is my daily smoke. I love it and everyone loves the smell. It reminds them of what their dad or grandfather smoked.

This makes for a super smooth smoke. No bite. A subtle sweetness and just really nice. I’ll get more of this

Nice , easy smoking blend. Excellent room note, many positive comments.

Great smoke will definitely purchase again.

Missing more Cavendish and vanilla

Love this tobacco in every way. Great room note, easy to keep lit. Very nice.

Nope it's not complex, nor robust,and it won't give you and instant battleship chest tattoo. What it will do is taste good,not bite,not slop your pipe and people around you will like the aroma and you will enjoy it all day long and the next and the next after that..If that's considered lowbrow or not being an experienced pipe smoker then so be it. Love this stuff forever I will .....deelish !! Oh and seeing as how it's a very popular seller....you will be in good company as well.

Had to find another supplier since my previous one took three weeks to deliver. This appears to have been the trick; two weeks, but still faster than the competition.

Wonderful room smell, even my wife who hates smoke comments on how well it smells. No bite and great taste, even better in a cob.

This is my everyday smoke, I bought two pounds this time, thanks for keeping the prices low and continuing to use USPS/PO boxes to keep the shipping cost down as well! Thanks to all the employees of P&C for great customer service during this last year and all it's challenges!

Great

Great flavor

Ok, but I prefer Great Dane from Missouri Merschem

Very satisfying

Very good smoke. Stays lit and could use lil more vanilla flavor

'Nuff said.

One of my absolute favorite pipe tobaccos. If you haven’t tried it by now do yourself a favor and get some

Been smoking Lane 1Q since college over 50 years ago!

What can you say? One of the big daddy aromatics, one that smokes easy while tasting as good as it’s room note. Vanilla and caramel will come to mind, but will not bring any bite with it. It’s gone too fast!

I found this in a pipe shop years ago when I asked for their favorite pipe tobacco. I can go by different names in tobacco shops but there is a reason this is probably the favorite pipe tobacco in America. My family can tell if I smoke a different tobacco - they all love the smell of 1-Q and I love the taste and the way it smells.

Amazing tobacco for my Savinelli pipe! The overall quality and room aromatic scent is beyond what I expected! It’s my GO TO #1 tobacco now.

My main brand.

Love it

Just as good as captain black but a lot cheaper still looking for I am for a green become in

Have smoked this light blend for manyyears as a daily smoke. Always complements from those in close proximity. I also enjoy a balance of tinned tobaccos as a treat end of day. My choices run the complete line of tobaccos, including English.

A “comfort food” tobacco. Not overly sweet, mild, great room note. A classic. My go to in a cob. Simple. My favorite.

New to pipe smoking and have ordered a bunch of samples to try things. Lane 1Q has the smoothest taste and smells great. The room note is fantastic. For now its definitely my favorite!

I’ve smoked 1Q for a long time. Very smooth flavor and aroma. Delightful. Thanks

love this tobacco, always smokes pleasurely

I have smoked this brand for almost 50 years.

By Far my Favorite I always have younger folks say to me, I love that smell, reminds me of my Grandpa. Lane has great quality control. Never had a order that I found more consistent.

I have been smoking Lane Limited 1-Q for decades. It is the only tobacco I smoke. People are always giving me different types of tobacco as a gift. I confess after a while I just throw these other tobaccos away.

Been using this since 1966, the BEST. Smoke all day never bites.

Can't go wrong with 1-Q

My favorite! Smooth and sweet with no bite! A wonderful smoke anytime of day or night!

Seems to be a lot of folks favorite and it's great but there are others I fill my bowl with first.

Smooth, and light with beautiful aroma. Best smoke made. Highly recommend to beginners.

Love this stuff too. Very mild and the aroma is the best. I often smoke it outdoors and I am constantly surprised at how many complements i get from walkers and surrounding people....mostly women, but lots of men too. The men usually ask what tobacco it is. It is one of my two favored tobacco and I alternate it with Reis 3 Star Blue for a complete change of flavor.

Very good

One of the best tobacco l have. Ever had and l been smoking pipe for over fifty years

Used it for many years Still good

I just love it. Great room note, good taste, great price. I try others, but I always come back.👍

Classic.Perfect

Cheap, good, packs and smokes effortlessly. A blend made for corn cob pipes. The gentle virginia and cavendish blend harmonize perfect with the light vanilla/caramel topping. An essential morning Covfefe smoke! It smokes fine on its own but I love to mix 50/50 Carter Hall & 1Q to give it more body. An essential blend to keep in stock.

One of the all time favorites

I think it is great. However I wish the more you buy the better the price. I buy 5lb bags now, but with a better discount, I would buy bigger Quantities.

I use this in my own combination mix with vanilla to provide good room note with a bit of bite.

good blender

I'm glad I found this blend of tobacco. Absolutely love it

A great all day smoke and nice aroma will always have on hand!

I like this blend very much. Has a great taste and great room note. Visitors have nice things to say when I smoke my pipe, even if they do not like pipe smoke.

I really enjoy smoking this this blend.

Great Smoke!

Very mild tobacco with a hint of vanilla. Just excellent.

Light and smooth. Good all day smoke. Burns cool and absolutely NO bite. Is now my regular smoke

Of the blends I've tried, this has been my consistent favorite. I smoke outside and always get compliments from passers by about how good it smells.

Love it.

Delicious and smooth. An instant favorite.

pleasant and not at all over powering

My base for my personal blend. Great without the blend.

Definitely one of my favorites!

Good smoke

packs easily. smokes great.

Smooth but not bland. Medium bodied with hints of vanilla.

Im fairly new to pipe smoking. I have tried about 8 tobacco's and Lane 1-Q is the best so far. Tastes good and the wife an kids love the smell.

It's nice and mile. It burns all the way down the pipe. Has a mile taste. I still like Soft and Mellow to.

My go to smoke always smooth and great room notes.

Very fresh. I shared some with a friend who had never tried 1-Q. I think he's sold on it.

love it, mild,flavorful and cheaper then capt black

Nice tobacco, burns well, smells nice, not overwhelming. It tastes good without the burn. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5, is because I have only tried about 5 different tobacco types. This was the best of the 3 I tried.

I'm not a fan of this by itself, but when mixed 50/50 with BCA its a completely different smoke. The aroma of this mixture is so nostalgic, it really is wonderful.

Great taste, have smoked this for many months now. Has a great smell that fills the room as well.

Excellent service, as usual. And at a good price

It's Lane - my choice for 50 years.

Lane brands are a staple in the tobacco industry and it is hard to find a bad tobacco in their line up. This one is tastier than most mass marketed tobaccos. I actually purchase the 1-Q by the pound and gift away an ounce or two to my friends who are pipe smokers but who haven't found a home tobacco yet. 1-Q can be smoked all-day without burning out the taste buds or the palette. It's not a great tobacco but very smokeable and easy to enjoy.

Happy with the tobacco.

New smoker, favorite so far

The 1-Q is a pleasant surprise, an all-day smoke. Mild strength, nice vanilla flavor but not overpowering, visible traces of black cavendish, no bite. Another important element: just right moisture. It has become instantly one of my Lane favorites.

Good flavor, smooth burn, all round great pipe tobacco.

This is my go to pipe tobacco most of the time. I’m a big fan of cavendish and the topping on this blend brings out all of its good qualities. This is the tobacco I reach for when I’m having my morning coffee or when I’m just relaxing on the porch.

Smooth, well balanced smoke

Very nice rounded all day smoke

If you are talking about the Capitain Black Gold pipe tobacco. Yes I have always enjoyed it's aroma, light taste and smooth smoke.

A light nice aromatic

Smoked this for years and still enjoy it. Best price I've found .

Great by itself but better when blended with lane very cherry.

Love this tobacco, could smoke it all the time. Smooth and sweet with just enough vanilla, part of the rotation.

Hell boys....I’ve been smoking Lane-1Q for over 50 years. Do you think that I like it....or maybe I’m just stuck in a rut.

Great product and quick shipping

I like Lane Limited 1-Q ,I like the taste the smell , I haven't smoked very much of it ,But I know it's going to be in the top 5 , And might be in the top 3

Hands down, best pipe tobacco.

I highly recommend this blend. It has a pleasant aroma and is a smooth smoking tobacco.

Too chocolaty. Needs more vanilla or cherry. Otherwise, not bad.

I am a semi new pipe smoker and I love Q1. The taste is excellent. Flavors last through the entire bowl. Q1 is my every day smoke.

My second favorite smoke. Evening enjoyment.

Best smoke ever good room note .

I'm a fan of the Lane Limited 1-Q. It is a comfortable and familiar aromatic blend that is a great all-day tobacco, and the ribbon cut of the tobacco makes it easy to pack and easy to keep lit.

Never fails to please. I am, however, still looking for that just right tobacco.

Excellent

Room note engages nearby humans in a largely positive way. Tobacco is damp, sticky, fragrant. Important to let it dry a little and leave some airspace around strands to allow burning. Flavor is bland with good body to the smoke. I can see why this is popular, but after a while it leave me wanting a little more. So I find I'm topping each bowl off with a little English style like Peterson's Old Dublin. The great thing about a pipe is the way we can mix our own cocktail to our liking. By the way, does anyone know what "1-Q" stands for?

I've seen this compared to the "MacDonald's" of tobacco, and I agree. That being said, I have a regular "Big Mac attack" when I have this blend on hand. People like the room note as well.

I love this tobacco. It is my go-to. And cheap too!

SO EASY TO SMOKE .

What's to say....#1 pipe tobacco for years. Very mild great taste.

One of my all time favorites. Smooth, great aroma, just an all around great smoke never be disappointed with this tobacco

Old memories come back when I smile 1Q

My favorite

good choice of tobacco recommended by sales assistant.

Excellent friendly knowledge customer service. Quick accurate order delivery. Thank you.

Standard for daily smoke.

Love the taste

I have Smoked this 1-Q Bulk for over 40 Years, It is great

This is what is in my pipe most of the time. Good stuff

Great tobacco

Could be an everyday smoke. Burns cool tastes great. Has an even better price. My wife loves it and it is her go to tobacco 9 times out of ten.

1 ounce just isn't enough!

Honestly, I prefer to BCA. But not bad.

I’ve been smoking this for a while, it’s always consistently good.

great product, service and reliability.

good

Nice aromatic made the switch from Cpt. B. and don’t regret it.
