1q tobacco for a begginer (and where to find some ?)

[samch]

hello everyone...i have just taken up pipe smoking and i've only tried two tobaccos (they both were a bit sytrong in taste an i kinda had an inch in my tongue afterwards). Before i started i read a lot abou a tobacco called 1-q. what are your thoughts about this one and for the people residing in Greece, where can i find some to try out?

Seeing that you're obviously on the Internet simply do THIS. :wink:

Welcome. That's a good choice for beginners, and popular with many. I'd recommend 4Noggins.com, they are known for doing well with international shipping.
No idea what your local laws regarding that are though.

1Q is definitely a great starter blend. Probably the best you can get. Not sure about shipping internationally, but the choice is fantastic.

Samch: If you're in Greece, it'll be a bit more difficult.
Option 1: Order from a US website and pay the shipping

Option 2: You may want to go to a local pipe or tobacco shop (I recall there's one in Athens) and get their advice. I recall seeing some Captain Black, which is similar to 1-Q, and some W.O.Larsen, which has some blends that are close too.
Good luck
