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)
