Please share your go to blend for book reading. I'd like to find something delicious that won't distract too much.

I currently enjoy mostly brown rope and Lakelands but they require some extra care.

Do you have these stored up? I haven't looked in a while but the black ropes were difficult to find for a good long time.

I snagged a few #'s of Gawith sliced black a couple years ago, good stuff!

I got an oz or so of sliced black in a box pass several years ago, and you're right, it was a great smoke. Same with the other black ropes. My current stash was obtained earlier this year on line from an obscure shop in Pittsburgh, where works a benefactor.

I prefer the brown ropes by a country mile and will have to retry the black ropes.

Gawith Hoggarth Brown Irish X is probably my favorite reading blend. Smooth, lightly sweet, and so cool burning you don't necessarily have the sensation of smoking. That said it makes a horrible working tobacco because you can puff and puff without heat and the next thing you know you're overloaded on Vitamin N.

Lately, it's been either Reiner's Professional or McClelland's Virginia #24. Which one usually depends on whether I'm home alone or not. If it's just me, it's a Va. If there are others, it's Reiner's Professional. They both have nice room notes but Reiner's is a bit better.

I give credit to FredS for my favorite reading blend. Its Fusilier's Ration, he sent me a tin with a FredS pipe one year when he was my secret santa. The pipe is a perfect clencher and a great smoker and it makes me look fancy and Fusilier's Ration is a flavorful smoke that takes care of itself with out a lot of tending.

I don't think anything I've blended can read.

Mine was always either PS Lux Bulseye or if I was in the house Dan Milonga.

I thought Haunted Bookshop would be a great pick for this but it was a woefully boring dud. I mixed it half with some exhausted rooster hoping g to mellow it a bit and the blend was even worse than the two individually 😃
