For some inexplicable reason I find that London Mixture is the best study companion, Sutliff Field Master isn't bad either.
Gold Block, Mellow Virginia were all very common when I was at law school and popular with those who took their study seriously and avoided the common room bar and it's numerous temptations. No prizes for guessing what I smoked! You really want something that burns slowly and can be smoked in quantity without getting nicotine poisoning. Good luck with your studies chum. :

For me, it has to be something with a dynamic range of flavors that I can puff on for a long time without getting bored. Something rich and robust enough to keep my attention but relaxing enough that I can lose track of time. Perfect scenario for a large bowl of Black House!
I wrote my dissertation smoking Balkan Sobranie (the original, back in 1973-4.) Also smoked (and had a standing monthly order) Our Best Blend from Smoker's Haven, which in that era, was simply relabeled Balkan Sobranie. In fact on many occasions, when I opened the tin of Our Best Blend I discovered the parchment Balkan Sobranie disk. These days Premal is valiantly trying to reestablish Our Best Blend. Let's hope/pray he succeeds.
I'm going with the suggestion of milder tobacco, and not too much nic, which can put you sleep. The 1Q and
CH suggestions sound excellent, and I would add Lane's LL-7 and Altadis Queen Anne's Revenge. If you need
an English blend, I'd go with a refined mile blend like Altadis Fox and Hound.

Peterson's University Flake, "The Thinking Man's Tobacco". Dry a flake, pack by either rubbing it out or "matchstick" it with some rubbed out on top like I do, and prepare to study. An hour later, you'll be puffing on ash and wondering why your pipe went out. I'm not going to study but I think some is in order right now.
