I seem to enjoy non-aromatic blends with good burley or Virginia as base. As a change of pace, I like distinctly tobacco forward aromatics often with whisky, rum, liqueurs or vanilla flavoring. Loose cuts require less preparation, but a good flake, coin, plug, or rope is great when time permits. I don't seem to require nicotine, though a buzz can be pleasant. I don't get nicotine nerves when I don't smoke for days. After those guidelines, I depend on the blenders, and sometimes my own sense of mixing, for some surprisingly good smokes. I did a strong tobacco quest for a while, which was enjoyable, but now I am equally interested in medium and even mild blends, adding stronger tobaccos on impulse. A bowl or two a day is usually all I do, though I do several bowls on weekends on occasion, and skip a day or three if I'm busy otherwise. I don't smoke and drive, since I tend to be one track in terms of concentration. My thought processes are already multitasking as it is.
