Pipe Tobacco Review:1-Q

On my birthday, me and my dad stopped by a cigar shop in downtown Chattanooga and browsed around for a few minutes. Eventually I bought a couple of cigars (I'll review them later) and was about to check out when I saw several large jars of various loose tobacco, I went over to them and saw they had the typical shop flavored tobacco, but they also had one labeled 1-Q. I've been wanting to try 1-Q for a long while, after seeing it on virtually every list of must try pipe tobaccos. I told them I wanted an ounce and they filled a bag.

      I took it home and immediately filled my Churchwarden pipe bowl with the stuff. I sat on my porch and lit it up. The first few puffs, I wasn't impressed, I tamped it, and then, suddenly, this amazing nutty vanilla flavor hit me. Not too strong not too weak, but just the right amount of flavor. I quickly smoked the whole bowl and immediately smoked another. I've had some good pipe tobacco but I haven't found a favorite, until now. I think it's going to be be 1st ounce of tobacco I smoke in less than 2 weeks!

Edit 2/11/14: I've seen other tobacco reviews that break them down into categories so here goes, I'll put them into categories 1-5  where 5 is best
Flavor: 5
In bag smell: 5
Room note: 3 (I didn't have anyone around for any of my smokes of it so far, so for now I'm giving it a 3)

Introductions

I'm Logan, I'm stating this blog mainly for myself, and for others to maybe discover things about the interests they share with me. I'll be posting on so many topics that interest me, some of them may be: cooking, tea and coffee, cigars and pipes, Doctor Who, anything J.R.R. Tolkien, music (I'm a music major), and possibly rants about my daily life. There are other subjects I may broach, but that's what I came up with off the top of my head.
