One of may favorites. Many compare it to Captain Black Royal. They’re similar, but not the same IMO.
Oh man. Here come the the volleys, hahaha.
To me, it's just ok. But I'm glad you're enjoying it! The quantity of that blend that gets sold is certainly a testament to it's approachability.

I prefer GH&C American Delight to 1Q by a large margin. Once I tried American Delight I never went back to 1Q. The AD is far less goopy and the tobacco comes across as much higher quality. There is a large price difference though.
Please do yourself a favour and wait a few months to buy a shit ton of anything! Tastes change a lot in the first year or two.
Tastes change so much and by telling you this I'm certain you'll now enjoy 1Q forever.
Have at it. You can have my share as well. 
Tell me about it. 1Q is a technical term for beginner bate.
never really liked this one. I always found it kind of bland and boring and just enough PG to ruin it for me. In fact I'd smoke it if it was the only thing left but pretty much almost anything else would be a first pick for me. Now Seven Seas Royal is nothing like it by the way. Maybe one of the other seven seas but royal has a totally different flavor profile. It's honey vanilla and generic red fruit (if you don't know what I mean you will if you smoke it, because it taste like a fruit that hasn't gone to market yet). 1Q is more of a vanilla and something else flavor.
Shanez - i have smoked a fair bit of AD and quite like it. Never tried 1Q. I thought 1q was more of a carmel hazlenut tobacco which I dont really get from AD. Do you fine them very similar in taste profile or just two tobaccos that fill a similar niche?
If u love the taste of antifreeze and steam from a dry cleaning table u may love 1Q.
Hazelnut is a generic term. At least in confections it is used to explain something that has chocolate or vanilla in some combo that doesn't quite count as one or the other. So yeah if taken on that front it's hazelnut. Or at least that's what people in food industry have said. Example Nutella isn't chocolate but it practically is. Who knows I could have been feed some b.s. on this one.
Ummm...
I think of hazelnut as being a nutty taste, from the hazel nut.
yeah but I've been told and not saying it's true that hazelnut just adds some nutty flavor which isn't too much and if you see it on a candy or spread or something like that there will be other flavors added because the hazelnut won't carry the confection on it's own. Could be b.s. but it's what I've heard. The thing is it sounds plausible because every hazelnut thing I've tried taste somewhat not the same as any other even under the term generic flavor profile.
The hazel nut flavor is very delicate, and it is mostly added to things like chocolate, as you've said. But, hazelnuts taste like hazelnuts. If a confectioner says it's hazelnut, then yeh, you are correct, no telling what it actually tastes like.
Pistachios are the same way. The nuts have a very delicate flavor... and I have no idea what shit pistachio ice cream is supposed to taste like, because it NEVER tastes like pistachios.
It's always nice when I finally say something that makes sense isn't it?
I think Lane 1Q was the first tin I ever purchased after Googling "what my grandfather probably smoked". I haven't had it in years, but I can still identify someone smoking it from across the room... back when we were allowed to socialize and smoke.
Wait, you bout 1Q in a tin? I had no idea that it ever came in a tin. I mean, I know that a lot of tins that Lane sales as different things is merely 1Q with a different name. But, did the tin say 1Q on it?
They do, or at least did. Looks like most sites aren't carrying but PnC still has it listed. I know I bought an actual tin of it about 2 years ago.
