Okay, been trying a lot of blends talked about here. All that Hobbit stuff, some stuff from Outwest, some stuff a guy gave me at the Voodoo book store.
Too much of it is too damn hard to smoke and it goops up my pipe.
I like the Lane 1Q pretty well, and it seems to not fill my pipe with gear oil.
Any suggestions along the line of 1Q that doesn't cost either my left or right testicle?

Try the Mc Barens 7 Seas blends. Nice price and goop free.

I've had the same problems with very good tobaccos, maybe if you packed your pipe and let it sit for a few hours or even a day it would solve the problem.

Dan Blue Note has treated me pretty well. (Took me a couple bowls to get used to the initial fruity taste though.)

Try some Odyssey. Never had any goop problems and it a great smoke. Also I found that if you let your tobacco dry out for a short bit before you smoke it really decreases the chance of goopiness. I say short time because everyone has their own preference. I will go anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the blend. If it's an aromatic then I just do 15 but if it's a dense flake I will let it sit a while. Also, I have to second Uncle Arthur's suggestion of 7 Seas blends.

the dry time is true. If I smoke about half a bowl, and come back the next day, it smokes better. However, that is crazyness. I would rather just be able to load and smoke for the most part.

Here is one more suggestion.

I love this stuff... G.L. Pease Haddo's Delight

Greg really out did himself on this blend. It is a great Original Mixture.
It has a great Tin Note, a very nice Room Note, and smokes and tastes like a dream.

And... it won't bust your budget.

I feel like Bill Bailey's Best Balkan is has the least dottle of any baccy I've ever smoked. Clean and dry to the last puff!
Edit: Doesn't hurt that it's also a total latom bomb, with 40% latakia! MMMMMmmmMMmMMmm!

I love Haddo's Delight, but it makes my head spin. It's one of those tobaccos that smells and tastes so good that I am tempted to eat it.
Eidt: I didn't want to post again so fast... But, "tastes so good that I am tempted to eat it."... Damn Right!
