Its summertime, what's your tobacco of choice?

[Njguy1977]

Curiosity is striking me as to what to dive into next when it comes to blends for pipe smoking in the summertime so I figured what better way to see who else is enjoying what when the summer heat kicks up. Let everyone know be it cigars, pipe tobacco, whatever you like when its 3H outside (hazy, hot & humid)

I do my very best to avoid the hot, hazy, and humid, and huddle indoors around the A/c vents. So the physical aspect, while I'm at home, doesn't affect me or my choice of leaf. The mental aspect, knowing how uncomfortable it is out there, does slither through my mind.

In any case, I prefer burleys and Virginias most of the time. Maybe once a week, especially if it's raining, I'll load up some English. That stuff seems much more suited to autumn or winter conditions than does Sir Walter Raleigh.

No seasonal tobacco here. Right now smoking some ennerdale with a nice cup of tea.

I smoke mostly VAs, VABurs, and VAPers anyway, but when it's warmer, I notice I tend to reach for the milder VAs more often. Mellow Mallard, Dunhill Flake, BBF....that kind of thing.

Latakia blends go away, and it's all virginia all day.

I don’t ban any blend on a seasonal basis but I do tend toward Virginia based blends in the summer; Burley’s are second.

LNF, LBF, CD Sunday Picnic, any good VA.

But those are year round pics.

Don't really change, depends on my mood. If really, really hot, VA,VaPer or lighter Burley.

Recently finished a jar of Pelican (english), now working on a jar of LBF. Great year round smoke.

 

[AimlessWanderer]

My blend preferences work all year round for me, flavour wise. Maybe because Latakia is not something I can tolerate often, as it leaves a yucky coating on my tongue. However, I will give the higher nicotine blends a pass if it's a particular hot or muggy day.

Virginia or Burley. Smoke more cigars than pipes in the summer as I can smoke them outside (can't stand stale cigar odor in the house).

 

[brandaves]

I prefer Virginia, VaPer, and VaBur blends in general but I think they are particularly nice during summer. The lighter smokes tend to appeal to me even more when it's warm.

I have not seem to have made any particular shift in type, brand or cut from summer to winter or back.
Of course, I smoke outside on an elevated screened porch in the summer because I want to be out looking around and enjoying the greenery, but in the winter I smoke in a heated garage, so maybe the temperature swing stuff doesn't really have that big an influence on me as far as choices go.

I'm haven't felt a need to change up due to weather but when mowing I like to smoke a cigar. This summer it's a pack of Factory Smokes Churchills.

I generally smoke black Cavendish in my pipes with Lane BCA being my favorite so far. I have a good sized bag of Lane 1-Q I should break into.
