What is Your Go To "All Day Smoke"?

[rigpiggler]

My favorite is Cornell Diehl Red Stag.

For me, it’s St Bruno.

I’ve spent a few thousand pounds trying to find “the one”, the perfect smoke to beat them all and I always come back to St Bruno.

I have only found a couple of tobaccos that I haven’t liked (KBC being the one that instantly springs to mind - like smoking a can of air freshener ?) and I enjoy smoking different blends at different times in different pipes but I always come back to St Bruno.

It might be because it was one of Grandad’s favourites; every time I fire it up I’m taken back to being a kid again, listening to war stories where hands became dive bombing Stukas and tea cups became tanks. It might be because it is a lovely smoke, a faithful old pal; I don’t know?

Either way, if you haven’t tried it, and assuming it is available where you are, I’d try a tin of the flake and add it to your list as the “mid-afternoon” baccy.

I will most definitely try it , thanks for the sweet prose.

I do travel a lot - more than most - and spend a month or more each year out of country as well. I always bring several pipes and no more than 2 or three blends. I want my smoking experience to be one that can add value to the trip, not compete with it. The pipes are always ones that pack well and can take a bit of abuse. The tobacco is always a blend that goes down smooth and is fairly light. Why? One never knows how local foods and drinks and elevation will make one feel. I don’t want my tobacco compounding any issues. At each hotel stop I ask where I can smoke and the staff have always been accommodating.

The last time I travelled with my pipes I brought 7 of my best ones and lots of tins of my favorite blends. I don't have any all day blends as I prefer variety. My briefcase holds 7 pipes in slots and toons of room for flakes and even plenty of room for my lap top.
Here is a pic of my bag.

I have a tin of it and have wondered about popping it sooner rather than later for fear of the sauce dissipating too much

Smoke it. It's not going to change appreciably.

When I travel, which is seldom these days, I always keep it simple. Often I use travel to take a break from pipes for a week or two and take nothing with me.

But if I decide to pack along something, it's a couple of pipes and one, maybe two, tobaccos. Yorktown would be a pick, as would St Bruno. I don't smoke much English anymore, having burned out on Latakia, but I might bring along an Oriental, like Brunello Flake, though flakes and keeping it simple don't quite go together for me.

Also in the keep it simple mode, at least when via air: three pipes and enough English for the duration.
By car I am apt to take a dozen pipes and 3-4 blends. And untold other junk not related to pipe smoking.....

While traveling I usually take 2 pipes and one of them is always a cob.
As for tobacco, it's usually MB Dark Twist, St. Bruno and an easy smoking burley or codger blend like SWR.

I think I have a crush on your pipe bag ?

Was recently gifted a tin of MB dark twist , tried rubbing it out as I don’t know what to do with coins , very good though , but I need more time with it and to learn to prepare it properly …

There's no properly with anything pipe smoking. Rubbing coins out is fine.

My grab and go pouch for travel is St. Bruno. If at home and I don't want to think about things too much the go to is either Watch City Elf's Dandruff or Arango Balkan Supreme, depending on my mood. I just recently tried Sir Walter Raleigh and now have a tub of it for those times when SUPER EASY is desired... Just scoop, light, smoke, enjoy!

Anything burley based or with strong burley condiment, on the strong side.

You got a favorite straight burley?

When I think of an all day smoke I'm looking primarily mechanical aspects, not necessarily something that is lower in nicotine. That said, I am all about shag cuts. My current all day smokes are Five Brothers, GH Dark Birds Eye and Le Petit Robin.

Like minds , shags are easy and quick I notice when I’m out in the world and want to just smoke 5 bros and Kendal Dark are great I recently acquired some dark birdseye and it’s going in the travel pouch. I guess one advantage of the semois is you don’t have to worry about it drying out ??

 

[rigpiggler]

Thank you very much for that I will give them a go.
