I've always been keen on 1Q.
Someone once said to mix it with BCA, so I tried that, and it's been my standard smoke for quite some time now.
If I ever find that person (he may even be here, I don't know), I will most certainly thank him.
I always have a few tins and pouches I am working through at any given time, but that 1Q-BCA mix will always have a place in my rotation.

No need to be ashamed of enjoying 1Q. One of my close friends and pipe smoking mentor smokes nothing but 1Q. He keeps trying other tobaccos but always comes back to 1Q. Heck, I like 1Q at least once a week myself

Most of you know me for the lover of Latakia/English blends that I am... but I do enjoy aromatics as a change of pace, and the room note pleases the family. I like 1Q.
Now, if you're talking about Captain Black Grape... ("shudder")

If it's good enough for Scott from Aristocob then it's good enough for me... Not that I've tried it.

I believe that you are over estimating how much criticism there is of aro smokers, and the very few that do are recognized as jerks.

I'm a jerk and I'm proud of it. lol Having been in the hobby off and on for a while, I have met a few characters who will not smoke aromatics. Of these most would not behave badly towards you if you smoked aromatics. However do not discount the implicit bias that can be kin to the smaller vocal (explicit) few. Please keep in mind that some of my descriptions were a bit colorful to provide a stark contrast in order drive home the point helping others see. As such it is conveying an attitude archetype if you will 😁 from which different shadows emerge. Very rarely do you meet folks that are archetypical. Though if you are going to meet them it would be among pipe or cigar smokers.lol😁 PS Confession time.... I never had a bias against aromatics in general, however OTC blends were a different matter. |

Are you saying that those who smoke aros are recognised as jerks or those who criticise aro smokers are recognised as jerks? I'm a jerk for smoking aros (but I'm good with that). I would never criticise anyone for what they smoke. I've no right to. |

Only then can you truly address this issue and be set free. We will help you Padre!! The best thing we briar patch members can do is give to the "Padre Help Fund" so that he who is blind can be made to see!!(Please message Ronv69 who is organizing this worthy cause.)😁 Ok folks nothing to see, move along, move along... |

Hahaha, that's the forum equivalent of saying 'thank you' rather than reciprocating.  |

It may be different in Ireland or elsewhere, but here in the States, I don't think men really learn to express their love for another human being until they have children. That's when you learn that love has little to do with how we perceive it when we are young. It's time to say it when you have the chance.

I certainly love you too... strangely difficult for American men to express, but true, nonetheless... I was pulling your leg. Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I like the way the Greek has different words for love... Eros - romantic Phileo - brotherly Storge - family agape - sacrificial When I think of the patchers, it's phileo. I think that's where the name Philadelphia comes from. Anyway, I've derailed this thread enough. Go 1Q! |

...those are good categories, thanks to the Greeks... but it's never a bad thing to express your love for anyone... most folks are just uncomfortable with it. I truly love a good hand-full of the folks here on the 'Patch... but I'm not sure they'd be comfortable hearing it...
...maybe it's our Ministerial experience, Andre...

Should have my 1Q shipped today from CigarBid along with a pipe rack. Saw McCartney in '89. Big for tours that year. Also saw Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and The Who. Working a startup a few years ago and commented on Joe Cocker passing away and the response was, "Who?" I wanted to slap the taste out of that dudes mouth  |

And now yet after thirty years and starting with English blends, I can find little noticeable difference between blends in the same genre and find that heavy English blends and strong burleys are more forgiving and better suited to the beginner smoker and the aros are more for the experienced smokers. Bastardization is a funny word to chose considering nearly all tobaccos are cased leaving little room for argument from purists and those that look down on aro smokers. Even in sales aros top the charts and if the after the FDA deeming disaster comes to paas, some of the most talked about boutique blends of modern times will be gone while aros that have been enjoyed for decades will still be available. Perhaps what I have written is not clear or you are simply adding your own thoughts? 😁 In either case, I am speaking about how some non-aromatic smokers perceive aromatics; An attitude I disagree with. There are a number of people who taste noticeable differences between blends of the same genre. I am sorry you are not one of them. I also believe there are English and Burley blends (not all) that are a good place to start the hobby. However this is palate dependent and not where many folks begin their pipe smoking journey. Funny or not a number of smokers know that there is a difference between what is necessary to process tobacco and what is artificially added to give a blend its signature taste. If you read my last post carefully both ideas are mentioned. The comment about bastardization is an expression of the reaction some have to the second treatment, not the first. What is generally termed an aromatic blend has both treatments. Non-aromatics have the first; A cased process necessary to make the tobacco smokable, typically sugar water. The way I see the difference between so called non-aromatic & aromatic blends is the lack or addition of the second treatment, respectively.* Typically there is a difference in taste between the two.*2 A well rounded pipe smoker should understand the distinction. The FDA involvement is sad. Thankfully there still will be Virginia,Virginia Perique, English, Balkans, Burley etc blends around as there are a number produced before the grandfather date. Still hoping that there will be limitations placed on the FDA or a completely dismissal of their involvement, I truly doubt the latter but believe the former might still hold some promise. *Like other terms in our hobby, there is confusion over the words aromatic and non-aromatic.This is understandable and can be problematic. +2 I have smoked a few hybrid Virginia, English aromatic blends where the topping is so subtle as to make me wonder. Just agreeing, adding to, and rambling a bit.👍 |

1Q is in a jar on my bookshelf. I enjoy aros as much as I enjoy English and other non aro blends. Casey Jones is pretty much 1Q but better..much better.. not sure how this happens but it does..
