Finding Peace in Panfilo?
Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù on via Panfilo, thats the little one tucked behind the more famous Santa Maria in Traspontina area. Masses are usually weekday mornings around 8 and a Sunday schedule with a vigil on Saturday evening, though summer hours shift so check the board by the door. Music is mostly organ and a small cantor, nothing orchestral, but they do pull out gregorian chant for some of the solemn feasts. If you want quiet rather than a full service, go mid afternoon on a weekday, the Borgo crowds thin out and you'll have the pews basically to yourself.
The parish is run by the Giuseppini del Murialdo, so you'll sometimes get their own hymns mixed in with the standard repertoire. For actual music quality, keep an eye out for feast days, the choir from the nearby Pontifical institute sometimes joins and it's a different level entirely. Sunday 11am is the crowded one, families everywhere, kids restless. If you want the atmosphere without the crowd try the 6pm vigil on Saturday, half empty and the light through those windows is unreal at that hour.
Via Panfilo is a nice detour, though I usually just cut through to Borgo Pio for the quiet.
What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
