I'm not an every day smoker. And I find my favorite times to smoke are either early in the morning or later in the afternoon. There isn't one particular tobacco or pipe that I would use for any particular time of day (though I must admit I've never smoked Irish Flake in the morning on an empty stomach), there are tobacco and pipe (and lighter) combinations that I do prefer.
This morning's smoke was one of my favorite combinations: Dunhill's London Mixture in my 1984 Peterson 2S. The mild to medium body English blend has just the right flavor for a 9:00 am smoke and a pot of freshly steeped Golden Monkey black tea. And the 2S has a medium-sized bowl, is a decent clencher considering its heft, and always provides a cool smoke. And I've found my Mr. Brog lighters, like the one I used today, to be completely satisfactory for the job, unless it's windy, and then I turn to my Zippo with pipe insert.
I've also found that Orlik Golden Sliced is another of my favorite morning smokes, with its sweet Virginias and mild body.
