They definitely hit the bull's-eye with this. Crumbled two coins and smoke away. Great flavours. Always love when the blenders find a balance. I did find I had to nurse it a bit, but nothing major.

...in social situations and for both beginning and advanced pipe smokers. I say socially, because 1-Q is the quintessential pipe smoke whose aroma non-pipe smokers remember with fondness. The room note is so pleasant that anyone who complains about it is just plain being a freakish, high-minded wood tick. Good for beginners because 1-Q doesn't take a lot of fuss to enjoy. It's a good one with which to learn to pack a pipe because I've always found it easy to light and also forgiving if I don't get the pack quite right, and we do tend to learn from our mistakes where packing a pipe is concerned. And, you'll get a good Virginia tobacco flavor along with the light sweetness of the casing. Good for advanced pipe smokers too because, having worked at a local tobacconist for a couple of years after college, this was far and away our best seller to young and old pipe smokers as well as our most common ingredient in blending. It's a smooth, lightly sweet flavored tobacco without being overpowering on the tongue. That light sweetness feels natural to the tobacco too, not heavy as with some other cased products like the cherry or whiskey flavored aromatics, nothing against them. An excellent choice with which to begin your pipe smoking odyssey, and you'll likely return to it again and again as well, as one does with an old and trusted friend. P.S. My own experience was that once I wanted to expand my palate and choices, a good place to go from Lane's 1-Q was to try McClelland 2010, followed by McClelland 2000. Read Less

Update: After trying GH Bob's Chocolate Flake, I find that Luxury Twist Flake has a topping that's quite similar - sans the Lakeland essence. This is a great flake with a beautiful presentation; LTF does not disappoint. On the other hand, it is probably not going to please Virginia purists with such a distinctive casing. The pouch/tin note smells like powdered hot cocoa mix and fresh-baked bread. Its room note is pleasant as well. Preparation is easy, and behavior is good. Whether you choose to rub it to ribbons or fold-&-stuff, it's hard to mess this one up. The smoke is creamy, with a flavor that's mildy sweet with hints of cocoa and brown sugar, and I find it to be almost entirely bite-free. Additionally, the nicotine level is very low—even a big pipe of this on an empty stomach wont make you dizzy or ill, making it a very agreeable flake. As for aging, blends that are good when fresh—especially Virginias—are a thing of greatness, and this is one of 'em. With that said, it absolutely gets better with age. Still, it's nice to buy fresh flakes and be able to enjoy them as is. LTF is a perfect blend for those who want a Virginia flake with a sweeter twist, and if you liked Luxury Navy Flake, it's likely you'll enjoy this as well. Read Less

I've been pipe-smoking for 45+ years and "grew up" with the OLD Balkan Sobranie, Dunhill 965 and Standard Full, Rattray's Red Rapp and Black Mallory as well as Bengal Slices, State Express, etc. While I have found nothing like these old blends, some of todays are very smoke-able. This, however, raises the bar to another level. If you have been lamenting the old/good stuff, this is worthy of your attention!

The SP description lays it out. Not for the faint of heart. If you're new to VA/Per's, don't go here. Go with a 10-15% perique. Also, the particular Perique that C&D uses is very intense. It's dark, oily, musty deliciousness. The VA's in the blend are excellent. Sweet, clean favor. The perique in this blend is above excellent. It's what perique should be. Hints of dark fermented fruit. Only slightly "peppery". A nice loose leaf blend. Packs and lights perfectly, smokes through with only the occasional re-light. No bite, no gurgle, only a small dottle left un-burnt. Yes, it's full and intense. Yes, it strengthens as the bowl progresses. This is not a "light" blend, and not meant to be. It's heady and them some. I cannot say enough about the perique used here. The VA's are good, but there are lots of good VA's out there. This perique is special - very special. It's full flavored and totally satisfying. I looked for years for "my" favourite VA/Per - this is it. Heads and shoulder above and C&D blend I've ever tried - I found most of theirs sorta bland. This - this is wonderful. I will be buying pounds of it. Read Less

The Key to BCA is to let it ghost your pipe. The more you smoke it the more the flavor grows. For me it has gone from tasty air to a really great smoke. I have tried about all of the sweetened Black Cavs and to me this is the best. It is also the most unique as it does not have the traditional chocolate flavor that is in most, but to me has the best chocolate like flavor. I have come to smoke this blend the most and also find it awesome when mixed with other tobaccos. For a change I may mix the following 1:Add about 25% of your favorite VA especially some fresh C&D bright va with a citrus flavor. 2: Also wonderful is about 25% of your favorite vanillia ( I use C&D Green River) this is a soupy blend but awesome. 3: Another awesome favorite and addition is about 25% RLP6 from lane limited. 4: Lastly I will add a disk of Lane bullsey to equal about 25%. It seems that adding morethen 20 – 25% of another tobacco takes away from the BCA portion to much atleast to me. I have tried and love about all the tobaccos the pipe world has to offer, but these have grown to be my favorite all day smokes. Also after 30+ years of offending others by cigarettes it is really nice to hear someone say “WOW that smells GOOD” My response is that “It taste good too” ; ) Read Less

Ok, one bowl of RLP-6 was enough to make me a fan of this blend! I know I'll need more time with it to get to really know it, but my first impressions are very favorable. Many of the other reviews of this blend mention flavors like vanilla, nougat, chocolate, and various fruit. I guess I could taste some of these things, like the vanilla, but more than anything I was tasting caramel, something rather creamy, some nuttiness, and banana. Especially banana! No kidding. Banana! I didn't see any other reviews here or elsewhere mention a banana flavor. Maybe it's just me. Banana... Hmmmm... Anyway, don't get me wrong: I LOVE banana! And I love this blend. Also, there was plenty of real tobacco flavor in the mix, especially nuttiness from the burley. Great stuff, huh? I guess for me at least, RLP-6 drives me bananas AND nuts! Cheers. Read Less

I no longer drink, but an occasional beverage of mine was ksarak liquor. The first 1/3 of the bowl is the exact same aniseed taste, and that is a great thing! I wouldn’t even call this an aromatic. You can actually taste the flavor of the aniseed as if you were sipping on a glass of iced ksarak.

As far as the smoking experience, this is a good one. After the 1/3 of the bowl the virginias take over and it shifts to the standard Gawith rope cut journey after that - which is fantastic all in itself. Truly a special experience. I will be stocking up on this!

If you enjoy the rest of Gawith Hoggarth rope cuts, you will appreciate this one. And if you’re a ksarak lover, you will thoroughly enjoy the Aniseed Twist! Read Less

I wasn't sure wuite what to expect with a blend claiming 50% Latakia. I mean, I like Latakia, but would I like it THAT much? The short answer is yes! THe Lat here is very well-behaved but definitely the star of the show. Turkish (Izmir?) backs up the campfire smokiness with a cooling, floral note, while the VA comes into play infrequently for me (though I suspect I'd notice if it wasn't there to sweeten things up slightly). Packed, lit and burned perfectly. First light is all Latakia, with the Turkish coming into play part way through the bowl. Aftertaste is surprisingly clean and short-lived, and the room note is lighter and cleaner than one might expect as well. My wife is not hot on the smell of Latakia blends, but my daughter loved this one in my beard afterwards. Read Less

The Black Irish X was one of my first rope twist tobacco I ever tried. I'd heard about and seen them plenty of times but never wanted to try them for several reasons. First, they had no descernable aroma, nothing friendly anyways. Next, they seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Finally, their scarcity made me think if I liked it and couldn't get a hold of it...well, I've got enough tobaccos like that. But, once I tried it, none of that mattered. Over the years I've come to realize that what a tobacco smells like usually has nothing to do with how it tastes, that the ritual of preparation is a big part of the hobby and usually tobaccos that require it are worth the extra effort, and if you want something bad enough you will find a way to make sure you have it on hand. I keep a nice chunk of Black Irish X in a jar for when I'm in the mood. I use a cigar cutter to cut it into coins that I rub out and dry before smoking. I've tried to smoke it in coin, but it requires too many re-lights. Also, I seem to taste the deep rich flavors better when I let it get a tad dry before loading. It smokes best (for me anyways) in a wide shallow bowl. It is strong. The rumors are true, you will want to have a full stomach before partaking. I've turned green from smoking this too much under the wrong conditions. But, if you give it the time and respect it requires it can be a nice change-of-pace smoke for anyone wanting to try a heavy hitter from time to time. This is definitely not the Virginia you're used to and absolutely not for beginners. Hope this helps. Read Less

Nutty Irishman
Smoking Pipes rated 4.5

This aromatic is made of Virginia and Burley and smells of caramel , hazelnut, coffee, honey, cake frosting and cream. Chocolate brown and black ribbons are just barely perceived as moist. Very fragrant.

Sampled in a Missouri Pride.

So this is gonna be one of those reviews that doesn’t match the format. There’s no way for me to even act as if I’m reviewing this product from any point of discovery as this has been one of my favorite blends for many years now.

Sweet and chocolatey and coffee and hazelnuts The blend hold a place in my heart for a couple of reasons.

First - when my wife (married 32 years) and I were dating - my coffee date drink was coffee , Bailey’s and hazelnut syrup. This blend , in the bag , spot on replicates the aroma.

Later I life I love to mix :
6 oz cold brew coffee
1 oz Frangelico
1 oz 5 County Irish Cream
2 oz Jameson (either original or Black Barrel)

Shake over large cubes, pour strained on top of pint glass of crushed ice.

Again - this blend is all over the top of that drink as well.

There’s something magical about hazelnut, sweet cream, coffee and Irish whiskey - and this blend captures that.

I have - and will continue to - kept a sizable reserve of this blend in hand and smoke it almost every Saturday morning with a cup of coffee or cocoa.

My (very sentimental) rating : 5

I bought this based on the review here talking about how smooth this one is, and this is about as tongue bite free as it gets. This tobacco is more creamy than anything else I have tried from this brand, which has been my go to for 20 years. It is lightly topped with the same fig, maple, licorice, and tonka bean mix used on dark flake scented and brown flake aromatic. On the underlying brown Irish X, it is even better. Nicotine is nowhere as strong as dark flake, coniston or dark plug. It is steady and easy to smoke. I was surprised at how middle of the road the nicotine was. No chance of tongue bite, and might be the best tasting tobacco from Gawith and Hoggarth, if you want to taste both tobacco and a topping. No chance of bitter, and the room note is great compared to the other ropes. I like this even better than the discontined coconut twist, which was my favorite Irish X until I tried this (but they are all good) which is just so creamy. The topping is just right, and has a wonderful aftertaste. Burns dry with no dottle. I cut up enough to load a big pipe's worth, which I rubbed out and let dry overnight. It strangely tastes as if it was already aged, and it is best described as all around gentle, almost as much so as kendal flake is. I can't image how good this will be with some age on it. If you are new to Gawith and Hoggarth, give this a try. It is a 5 star masterpiece. It is as if they took all of their blending experience and distilled it into this rope. This could become my go to blend it is so smooth, easy smoking and good tasting. I don't often find blends that impress me on the first smoke. Read Less

Dark Fired Kentucky
Smoking Pipes rated 4.4

This is the king of all blending components.

Dark, thick, blackish brown ribbons that are not oily, but look like they have a sheen to them. The aroma from the bag is smoke, smoke, smoke, and then right at the end of the spectrum just a little bit of smoke.

Sampled in a Missouri Pride.

Hell. Yes.

This is the smoke that I have been looking for - delicious but almost to the edge of charred oak and cinders.

I love the “in the face” full frontal nudity of this smoke. It’s unashamed and forces you to pay attention.

It used to be if I saw a blend had Latakia, it piqued my interest. These days that is Dark Fire Kentucky. I want it in every blend I smoke because it just adds that tough leather acrid biting element that I find delicious.

It is acrid – in a good way.
It is strong – in a good way.
It is meaty and rich – in a good way.

This is not one you can hide from the wife when you come from outside if you’re a closet smoker. This one is going to work its way into every fiber of every fabric within 20 feet of it and take residence.

To me, this is a 100% solid solo smoker. I love the tangy smoky assault on the senses and sometimes I will smoke this until my head swims.

My rating 5

With the right companion components, PS701 is excellent. Three years ago I didn't like it much all by itself. I didn't even like it very much as a blending component, but recently I have been blending it with a bit of Stokkebye Black Latakia and some C2 Basma, and it's amazing. These three leafs do something quite magical in my blending bowl. If you've tried it before and didn't like it, pair it with something different, keep experimenting and you'll find something it really complements. My stock is three years old and excellent, but will soon be gone, so I've ordered another couple pounds. Very exciting stuff. Read Less
