I know that there are quite a few of you guys that smoke or have mentioned "Lane 1Q"... I have read lot's of tobacco reviews, some are mixed but the most are 3-4 stars...
I'm looking for your opinion...
Lawrence, I haven't been home to try the sample you sent... Thanks in advance...
I'm also looking for more information on "Lane RLP-6"...
I hope you like it.
Like I've said before; it's just a good utilitarian smoke.
You're welcome "in advance".
My local B&M told me that Lane stopped making RLP-6.

Customer Service is hard to find... Bull SH*T is easy to come by... Along with Llama dung... (Just for Cortez)
I've been told by some pipe smokers that the 1-Q blend is the same as Capt'n Black Royal that you can buy at the drug store. Is this true? I kind of like the Capt'n Black Royal, but it sprayed down with all kinds of preservatives.
1Q is an upscale version of the Captain in my opinion, Not at all bad. As for RLP6 I order it in five pound batches. That tell ya anything? LOL
Hey Jayh,
I don't think its that close CB Royal.
CB Royal is stronger, and sweeter, kind of like a blend I buy at the local B&M called Chart Topper. I just looked it up on The Briary bulk tobacco page and discovered, that RPL6 is Chart Topper.
No disrespect to Uncle Arthur but, I still prefer 1Q.
Yep! It's a good blend fer sure!
Awesome, so are we saying that RLP6 is similar to CB royal? If so I'll order a few ounces. Though I've always been concerned about a bulk purchase because i'm not an everyday smoker. Is four ounces worth buying when buying bulk to smoke everyother day or so?
Alright boys while you’re at it is there a bulk blend out there similar to Captain Black white?
JC, I'm not sure about that. I haven't really purchased any bulk that is similar to CBW.
Jayh, If you have a good jar that can be used for tobacco, one that seals well. e.g. a quart size mason jar with ring and lid, that will work just fine, or something similar.
If you have a Dollar General near you check the kitchen wares area. I found some storage jars there last week for 2 & 3 dollars.
Keep it comfortable, not too cool and not too warm, and not too dry. You should have no problem storing 4 ounces for a good while.
The Lane bulks are very affordable ($8 for 4 oz) about the same as a 1.5 oz pouch of Capt. Black around here. Grab a couple of jars and a couple of bags and sit back for a month or two of pleasure
Welcome Daveyboy,
Bulks are generally less expensive, and a good value.
Glad to have you.
Howdy daveyboy! Good to see more folks turning up here! As for bulk being cheaper. OH HELL YES!!! I almost always buy bulk.
Welcome daveboy.
I buy nothing but bulk except when I have a yen for Carter Hall and then its the 14 ounce tub if I can find it.
Welcome Dave... and like Pstlpkr said, mason type jars are probably the best for storage and beside the temperature you should also keep your stash out of long periods of direct sunlight.
Thanks Pstlpkr... I didn't think there was a bulk equivalent.

NOW... the real question...
How close is 1Q to Cpt. Black White...
I can get 16oz of 1Q for $27.00... CBW is $33.00 for 12oz... I would gladly pay less... But I must like it first...
Dunno for sure. Been decades since I smoked Captain Black anything. Wouldn't hurt to get yourself an ounce or two from one of the nifty online sellers to try.

Lawrence,
Thank you very much for the sample of the 1Q... This is A++... Very mild, but lots of flavor...
I've had this blend in the past, but it must have been labeled as a "B&M" brand... I smoked two bowls back to back... No goop, pleasing and burned great... My daughter even said the "room note" was great!
I'll take a pound PLEASE & THANK YOU!
You have chosen wisely grasshopper .

Oh... one more positive... No lingering after taste...!!!
I'm glad you like it Phil.
It's good stuff.
Both are super!!
Guys... I read on tobaccoreview.com recently that some people were saying that Lane's BCA was similar to Captain Black White... Has anyone tried it?
One reviewer recommended blending 1Q 50/50 with BCA, which is something I may try.

JC, let me know how it turns out...
Phil... I'll do better than that, when I finally get around to it, I'll send you a sample to try for yourself.
Hmm... Sounds good. I'll have to get some to try.

1Q
I got some 1Q. It's great, nice sweetness, nothing over the top though. I taste no chemicals and it does not goop up a pipe. I will definately buy more.

Sapo, so what you are saying is 1Q isn't “CLOYING”?
Okay Guys … here is a blend idea I picked up from a reviewer of 1Q on tobaccoreviews.com. Mix Lane’s 1Q with their BCA (2/3 1Q two 1/3 BCA), it’s not CB white but it’s getting close and I think it burns cleaner.
If you decide to give it a try let me know what you think.
JC
