1Q probably gets more praise just because it is so common and readily available. BCA was mentioned a couple times in this thread recently. The caramel note sans vanilla is what I think I enjoy most of all. I have always seen in reviews that if you like 1Q you should try RLP-6 and that it is 1Q but more.

The only bad points for me on this one are the messy moisture at the end of the bowl that requires some cleaning, and the difference between the smell and the taste once its smoked.

Personally I don't know for certain if many of the Captain Black offerings are, indeed, Lane bulk blends put in a pouch with more humectant or not. It seems that adding morethen 20 25% of another tobacco takes away from the BCA portion to much atleast to me. Great burning qualities, always one match till the end, high grade tobacco and flavoring, well balanced.
