Dang so many names for one blend. I am very eager to try this as it is so popular.

I am in the UK and i am yet to find it by the listed names.

Is there a fool proof way that i might recognize it?

 

[mluyckx]

Sixmp: I'm not sure you can actually find it in the UK. I know I have never seen it, but I have honestly not really looked for it either when I'm on that side of the pond.
I think that Gawith's American Vanilla actually comes somewhat close to it. But it's a bit darker and more Vanilla-ish if I recall correctly. I had a couple of bowls of it about a year or so ago.
On recognizing 1-Q, once you've smoked it, it actually becomes relatively easy to recognize. You walk into a store, see their "Golden HumptyDumpty" blend, look at it, sniff it and wonder... is this 1-Q . It's a ribbon cut Golden Virginia Cavendish with fair amount of black cavendish and a decent Vanilla topping. There's just something about it that makes it "just right". It's what a lot of people associated with the smells of someone smoking a pipe.
For a good picture you can have a look here
Good luck

Thank you for the info. I will have to keep my nose open and carry that picture around in my wallet.

Random Tobacconist... "You sir are strange!"

I'm pretty sure it is Mariner Mixture at Kirsten's in Seattle.
Wilshire at the Tinderbox and plain old 1-Q at the Tobacco Patch.

If there was ever a blend that is a must for us pipe smokers, 1Q should be it. Every pipe smoker should try it

At Fader's of Baltimore it's called Unique...I mix my own version of RLP-6 by adding BCA to it. I read or heard somewhere that this is the blend Eisenhower smoked before Mamie made him quit,..hence the name I-Q, being close to Ike...
Funn

Just called the local B&M and they call it Coconut Cream; guess I'll be adding that to the list next time I go there.

Used to buy it in the early 80s at my local B&M, and they called it Honey Bee. :puffpipe:
