Getting RLP-6 and 1Q to Smoke Better

[jndyer]

So, I have been smoking Lane 1Q and RLP-6 for sometime now, but I can not get it to smoke as well as Carter Hall and Captain Black White from the pouch. I can not figure out if I should let it dry more or try to smoke it to wetter. Any suggestions?
By the way, I sometimes get a great smoke from it, but most times not much flavor and way to many relights. I have tried drying it, smoking it straight from the B&M. I just can not get a consistant good smoke from it.
I also pack it like I do with the Cater Hall.
One last thing, I really like Carter Hall (as I have mentioned in another post), but I also want something we a bit of aromatic flavor to it.

Maybe mixing the two together?

Actually, there is a problem with the batch of both 1-Q and RLP-6. Please send the remaining amounts to me for testing, and if they are, in fact, bad batches, I will dispose of them properly. :rofl:
I've never had a problem with 1-Q, but the aforementioned suggestions of mixing are good ones.

Never had a problem with 1Q, however I usually let it sit out for a bit before storing it in glass containers. Lanes BCA seems to require a bit more drying time.

I know a former tobacconist who likes to mix RLP-6 equally with HC-3 and PS 9F, with really nice results.

The two Lane bulks you mention are usually (but not always) too moist to smoke very well as-is out of the bag

Exactly right!

Jndyer, Jason has a Great idea. Forward all tobacco to him now. Jason, keep me posted, by private message, at which time WE can move to step 2.

I tell you what, if I end up not liking my 1Q I would gladly send it to someone who could enjoy it.We will just have to see. :D

alternatively you could decide to smoke non-aromatics... just to see if they smoke better....

mmmmm.... non-aros....

alternatively you could decide to smoke non-aromatics.

Or even better quality aros that aren't loaded with chemicals that make them so wet that they're hard to smoke. ::
