Where can I find live music venues during my visit in May?
May is actually a sweet spot because a lot of the smaller venues shift to outdoor courtyards and the crowds haven't fully hit yet. One spot nobody mentioned is Fonclea near the Vatican, on Via Crescenzio, live bands most nights and no cover if you're eating there, gets touristy but the music is decent. Also worth knowing that many places in Testaccio like Caffè Latino don't really announce lineups online, so the move is to just walk around Piazza Testaccio on a Thu or Fri and follow the sound. Shows usually kick off late, like 22 or 23, so don't show up at 8 expecting anything.
skip the big names and look at circolo degli artisti on via casilina, it's a members club so you pay like 5 euro for a year card at the door then shows are cheap or free. mostly jazz, funk, some world music. in may they usually move stuff outside too. also worth checking the program at pontificio collegio americano or the irish pubs around campo de fiori, tho those lean more cover band than anything original
If you want something a bit more off the usual circuit, try the Monk in Pigneto on Via Giuseppe Mirri. They mix jazz and singer songwriter nights, and there's a courtyard where people hang out between sets, which is nice in May. Also check what's on at Casa del Jazz near Villa Borghese, it's a proper venue with a garden and the spring program usually has good stuff, but you'll want to book ahead since tickets go fast.

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.
