I’m mostly a Virginia puffer, and I’ve noticed my best moments were usually a couple hrs (minimum) after eating, indoors, & not hurried. Where as Latakia & Burley predominant blends aren’t quite as picky. Not sure why. Have you observed something similar? Maybe even certain blends at a given part of the day/evening?
Right Conditions for Best Smoke Experience

A full pipe and something to light it with.
I love aromatics. Here of late, I have come to realize that I gravitate towards aromatics that arent tobacco forward. I typically don't smoke in the morning. I like mid-day but prefer afternoon to late evening smokes. Outside is my only option at the moment. I live right across from the beach and it's nice to smoke there. However, my favorite spot is right outside my place as the breeze is still pretty good and I have more privacy. And, not to forget, a comfortable chair. I hope to enjoy books more now. I find that I enjoy the tobacco so much, it's one of the only things I can focus on 
Handling a job where I can smoke as I work. So, most anytime, anywhere. I'd detest having to restrict my smoking to a certain time of day.
My favorite time to smoke a pipe is when I'm awake.
Sometimes the same blend can taste so good, same pipe. Other days, flat & tasteless.
Never experienced that one. Unless a pipe is ghosted, one tobacco tastes the same in any pipe I smoke it in.
Same pipes. Just might try the water flush clean. Maybe my rotation needs cleaned.
My first smoke in the morning with a hot coffee and the bowl loaded with C&D Pegasus. My next bowl is in the evening, but can't beat that morning smoke.
Ditto
My favorite time of day. Can’t beat a coffee and that morning Burley. Match made in heaven.
This time of year the best place is my truck, just sitting in my driveway facing away from the house of course. Seat warmer on high, beverage in the cup holder, tunes playing and checking the forum or reading on my phone. Every now and then I mix it up and put it into drive.
Absolutely! Window just cracked, winter air, toasty seat warmer, hot coffee and the interior in a proper fog.
well VA and that whole family are way pickier than Englishes. Englishes tend to smoke about the same under most conditions.
Unwinding after work I find is the best smoke of the day for me.
I never smoke before noon or close to it then time and weather permitting any time during the day. I rarely smoke three bowls, more like one to two a day and sometimes nothing for days. Virginia and Vaper tobacco are the fussiest for me and require the gamut of good conditions. Latakia and Kentucky mixtures are more forgiving and very enjoyable in the Canadian Winter. The best smokes are on my balcony when I have the time and choice of the best tobacco for my mood and weather condition.

outside dry and cold, Daylight. slight breeze not heavy wind but enough to keep too much smoke out of my eyes. Make sure blend isn't too wet. Heaven
I break mine down and clean them after each smoke. No need for reaming, alcohol, or water.
