Reading Blends

[SherlockHolmes]

What’s your go to blend(s) when you want to sit down with a good book?

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.

What ever is handy by and large. Just as long as it's well behaved so, it'll be one of my regular blends. I keep my routines simple.

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.

Whatever I want to smoke at the time. A couple of years ago I reread LotR while smoking Capstan blue in a cobbit dwarf. As a rule, I don't try to fit certain tobaccos with certain activities. I just smoke what I want to smoke when I want to smoke it. Some of you folks make this way too complicated.

Any blend will do.
If you're looking for thematic, go haunted bookshop.

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

With a good book I want either Pease's Six Pence or Stonehenge.

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.

You've mentioned Three Star Blue before in this context...is that one of your regular standby blends?
