Another vote for 1Q - it's the only one so far that's gotten favorable comments from the spouse (though that's more for the "jar note" since I don't smoke indoors). She's definitely not a fan of Sir Walter Raleigh or Va/Per blends... :D

Call me crazy, but Dunhill Nightcap. I love it.
Also +1 on 1Q, I'm gonna have to order some for my next TAD.

You might give Pirate Kake a go. It has a lovely resinous incense afternote that lingers in the room throughout the night, and makes its presence felt even well into mid-morn. Sure to delight the nonsmokers in the house.

Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match (Altadis?) smells fantastic.
It's an old-fashioned burley blend with a bit of molasses or some kind of sweet casing. It's not an aromatic, but it has that old-timey pipe smell. It's simple, easy to smoke and tasty, but not complex and may not satisfy some of the more connoisseur-minded smokers.
Also, I think just about any VA smells good (or at least that's what my wife usually says).
Finally, Frog Morton's Cellar, mentioned above, and I would expect that the Stave-Aged VA, though I haven't smoked it, would have a similar room note.

I've actually gotten the most compliments on room note when smoking Nightcap or Westminster. Granted, I only really smoke latakia blends, but it depends on who you're inside with. Some people like their room note alot.

Full Virginia Flake seemed to have a decent room note. Even though it is an aromatic 1Q should be mentioned as the room note is wonderful and it's an aromatic that even many strictly English/Latakia blend smokers will admit to having a bowl of now and again.

+1 on the Froggy Cellar. Not bad at all in a practically new unbroken-in Peterson. Just tried it tonight and ordered more.

I haven't tried Cellar yet but I get quite a few compliments on Frog Morton on the Town. Tastes great too

+1 for 1Q as well.

Great room note and pretty good taste I will give a shout out to Dan's Blue Note!!! I consistent favorite of the non-smokers when we have our weekly men's pipe and cigar night for our church.

Oh I forgot my favorite berry blend. SG's Firedance Flake. Tastes and smells like Blackberry cobbler cooked with brandy....tastes soo good and one of the best berry room notes ever.

Nording Pointer smells like Cracker Jacks but it is a aromatic .WO Larsen Signature blend is very tasty and not goopy. But these twow blends are kid tested and mother approved . Squadron leader will get you kicked outside into the cold .

I second the Frog Morton suggestion.
Also: McClelland's Virginia Woods is something non-smokers seem to enjoy. It's a combination of several VAs and smells like cookies baking.
While it is an aromatic, it is not like 1Q, IMO. There is a rather nice flavor in this blend.
