Different Blend for Different Times of Day

[jazz]

I don't really have any rules about this anymore. I just smoke what I like when I like although I have mostly ceased smoking nicotine heavy blends like Revor Plug before bed. There are many where the nicotine makes me sleepy but the ones I prefer to smoke are the ones that keep me staring at the TV until 04:00.

<p>I find that my palate gets numb both from heavy blends and from food. This has an impact on what I smoke when. And on how much. So far, 4 bowls is maximum for one day. Cosmic's 14 bowls would last me 30 hours of constant smoking, so I guess days are longer in the West

Over two hours of constant smoking per bowl?? Must be huge chambers!

I prefer stronger blends in the morning, after a cup of coffee. Lately it's C&D's Billy Budd or Star of the East Flake. In the evenings instead some sweeter light aromatics are more welcome - MacBaren's Mixture or Classic (ex. Vanilla Cream). When going out I prefer to smoke non latakia blends as some people really don't like the smell so I'd take some burley based tobacco, preferably non aromatic.

My flakes burn slowly.

No rules, no routines. Coffee first with a bowl of what's handy at the desk, the last thing smoked the night before is often the first smoked in the morning.

 

[saltedplug]

Morning - Straight VA, VA/Perique, Oriental Dusk, light, or La Burmese (Semois), not light

Afternoon and Evening - Dark Flake, occasionally Irish Flake, 1792, War Horse Red or Green, Wessex Dark Flake
Interesting to read what and when the rest of you smoke.

I get on kicks of one blend, usually only 1-2 bowls a day. I smoke 6 bowls the other day but the last 3 where consecutively stronger just trying to taste something with my fried palate.

Same thing all day for me. Virginia and Virginia/perique blends. Occasionally I mix it up and throw in a cigar leaf or burley blend or an English or Balkan.

I only smoke in early morning on the weekends, Mon-Fri I'm too rushed to smoke early. When I do get the chance to smoke first thing, I love Shortcut to Mushrooms with coffee, or Exotic Orange with juice. Otherwise, I progress to richer and deeper blends in the evening.
