Any of the burley blends that are scoop or dip type because with an all day smoke you don’t want to be faffing about so Peter Stokkebye’s cube cut, Grainger, SWRA et al. Also the other consideration with a all day blend is room note as you will find yourself in different company through the day and something obnoxious on the room note will make smoking in that moment impossible
In that case, Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut.
C&D Haunted Bookshop & Orlik Golden Sliced are probably my favorite all day smokes. They pack, light, burn, and smoke very well, plus they make ya think " dang, this is good!"
I'd second the C&D Yorktown and Orlik Golden Slices, and suggest MacBaren Mixture, Milan Milestone, Low Country Natural Virginia and Natural Virginia/Burley, Capstan, Peterson Flake, and Peterson Elizabethan might also work.
My vote would be for a codger blend. My favorite is Half & Half, as it's cheap, easy to pack, and thoroughly enjoyable. Most of the codger blends have these qualities, though, so you really can't go wrong.
One day I smoked a big pipe of GLP Gaslight outside at lunch. The rest of the day I kept hearing people why the office smelled like a campfire…
My go to blend for the past couple years has been a blend that was created by a former YouTube Pipe Community member, Joffre the Giant, in a tobacco blending contest years ago at Boda Pipes and Cigar in South Carolina. His blend won the contest, and has the worst name for a tobacco ever... "Chocolate Manhood."
The blend was originally Lane 1Q and a blending Latakia. A friend of mine, also a former YTPC member, Ragbomb, used some Lane BCA instead of 1Q to go along with the Latakia, and I really liked it. I've tried it both ways, and I prefer the Lane BCA and Latakia, but both are very enjoyable. I've also mixed the BCA and 1Q with the Latakia, but I still prefer the BCA and Latakia the best.
It makes a great crossover blend. For me it smokes, cool, dry, there's no bite, I re-light this tobacco way less than others, it smokes down to a nice ash, has a great flavor profile, and has a nice room note, and it goes good in the morning with a cup of coffee or good in the afternoon and/or evening with a soda, beer and/or water. When I make more I just do a 1 to 1 ratio between the Latakia and the BCA or the Latakia and 1Q. It's definitely worth a try if you enjoy a nice crossover blend.

I smoke G.L. Pease Maltese Falcon and Quiet Nights all day. great stuff!
I would say that my “all day” palate suggests Lane 1Q (which you already like), SWR cube-cut non-aromatic, Iwan Ries Three Star Blue, and/or Prince Albert. Each is simple and enjoyable as an “all day” blend in my opinion. Most other blends for me are best occasional or rotational as they (to me) tire my palate if I get repetitious with them.
Lane BCA.
Though I think you could make it a better all-day blend by adding something a lot stronger at a ratio of about 80% BCA to 20% strong tobacco.
I'm not a latakia fan, so I would not do what many would do and add latakia to this blend as it would nuke the delicate BCA flavours.
Looking at this post now, there are definitely better options than what I suggested.
I happily smoke my G&H blends all day long.

Way too subjective. For example, the most often recommended “all day blends”, are ones that I only smoke rarely, if at all.
Smoke whatever you like to smoke…
I smoke pipes for variety, if I had to pick an “all day, every day” smoke, it’d be a non-satisfying exercise and I’d go with a different nicotine delivery platform (which I already do and accentuate that with my pipe smoking).
If you wanna see “all day every day” watch JimInks’ posts in his WAYS threads. Many blends, many pipes, all day, every day.

That sounds like a fitting description of my favorite all day blend, Lane HGL! The Latakia in this case really does shine as a condiment, one that IMO highlights the other flavors.
+1 on Haunted Bookshop. I'm still in my trying phase after taking up the pipe again a couple of months ago, but at least one of my 3 or so bowls a day is full of this.
Also +1 on Pegasus. I ran out of my tryout ounce but I enjoyed it especially as my palate changed from the (harsh cheap) cigarillos I had been smoking. It's lighter than HB and a little less complex but yummy.
One I haven't seen here is Habana Daydream. I really like that when I want something a little smoother than HB.

Something that would definitely fall into an all day smoke and often overlooked would be the stoved Virginia type tobacco's, stuff like Rattray's Dark Fragrant or their Dark Virginia or Mc Clelland's Dark Star (if you could find a tin). These are wonderful tobaccos that are sweet, subtle. Sweet fruits like currants, berry jam, sweet black tea are notes you will find in these blends and you couldn't coax tongue bite out of them no matter how hard you tried.
