I am a Virginia and Aromatic pipe smoker. For the most part, I have been smoking from the afternoon on. Lately, however, I have been interested in trying out a bowl in morning. I am looking for something to smoke during my morning walks, not necessarily to pair up with a morning beverage. I wake up and go right out the door, so this would be something to smoke before I sit down with a morning beverage.
Most of the replies that I have read in other threads and forums point to English, Burley, Oriental, Perique or Latakia blends, and most of those replies relate to pairing it up with coffee. So they have not been helpful to me.
I would ideally like to find a Virginia or Aromatic blend that you guys have appreciated in the morning. I am not opposed to trying out an English blend, but I am really not interested in anything with Burley. As for Oriental, Perique or Latakia, those components are mostly unfamiliar to me so I would not want them to be overly present. I would prefer to stick close to familiar territories around Virginia.
I am looking for something that is medium in flavour and low on the nicotine hit.
