Now that summer is lastly here, the majority of us has stored our winter clothes and has dug out our Bermuda shorts and turn over flops. Likewise, some have put away their winter blends and are at the present enjoying their summer blends. Are you one of these folks? I am. Hotness tends to result the taste of convinced blends. The high temperature of summer will make hotter burning blends still hotter and "heavier" blends such as opaque latakias and aromatics even heavier. Some might take pleasure in this while others might not. Lighter blends such as Virginias and unconscientiously cased Virginias such as Stokebye Luxury Twist make for wonderful summer smoking. The gentle flavors that were scarcely detectable to the taste buds and nose in the thin air of winter abruptly become rather distinct in summer. The summer heat, as with all things summer, will also reason a propensity to smoke a modest slower. This also brings out flavors and scents that go ignored during the colder months. Pipe assortment can also play a fraction in your summer pipe smoking pleasure. While some strength says that thinner walled pipes will smoke cooler owing to huge warmth dispersal ... I differ. It's a pipe not a warmer on a '68 Chevy :) I regularly smoke my pipes in the 110+ degree wasteland climate and can tell you will immense self-assurance that a thicker walled pipe smokes just a bit cooler in warmth. I don't know why but that has been my knowledge. I've also establish that tobacco that is somewhat drier than that which you'd smoke in chill months will burn cooler, cleaner and more flavorfully (is that a word?) in the summer months. So join me in kicking off the summer solstice with the fresh, cool smoke of one of your beloved summer time blends. Happy Smoking!
