The first time I smoked this tobacco (1993) was also the first time I ever smoked a Dunhill. It was a superb smoke then and it has been enjoyable every time that I have smoked 1-Q since then. Right now I'm smoking it in a Missouri Meerschaum. I think the best part of the bowl with 1-Q is the first third; there is the sweetest part of the vanilla flavor and the smoothest of the smoke. This is not a particularly powerful tobacco; it's strength lies in the flavor, not in intense nicotine satisfaction. The vanilla sweetness is at just the right level, not too much or too little. It's easy to pack, stays lit and it burns cool. The room aroma is very pleasant as it the aroma of the tobacco in the bag.
