I've taken to straight(ish) Virginias recently, in a clay pipe. The mellow sweetness of such blends is enjoyable but nondescript, I've found. Union Square and Marlin Flake have made their rounds recently.

Also, if you like Lakelands, I enjoy those too. They make my library smell nice

I like something simple that you can just light and forget about and that won't go out easily. Sutliff 507-C, Chatham Manor, Edgeworth Match, or an aromatic such as Solani Festival, Comoy's Portwood, or even 1-Q usually does the job.

Rarely if ever seated when smoking unless I'm driving so I would have to go with whatever tobacco I was in the mood for at the given moment.

Basically anything other than a Virginia flake. For some reason that requires more attention. Or maybe I'm just paying more attention ...

I think a good reading blend would be something not to complex and your well acquainted with. I'm pretty fast distracted, so I wouldn't smoke a first time blend or anything I know will be complex while doing anything else than smoking. But I hardly do anything else than smoking while smoking, I might take a stroll, that's it.
