OK, I'm a serious lover of whatever we call English, Balkan, latakia-based tobaccos. Favorites include GLP's Odyssey, Quiet Nights, really anything Pease, Russ' Larry's Blend, Dan Tobacco's Old Ironsides, Esoterica's Margate, And so to Bed and, Penzance, SPC's Plum Pudding.
The thing is I live in Colorado, where English, Balkan, latakia based tobaccos work all year long, but I vacation in the Carolinas for golf and reading. In June, Englishes, etc., burn hot because, well, it's hot. (Last summer was first case of tongue bite since I learned how to smoke a pipe in the early 90s.) Ergo for this year's golf-a-palooza, I am wondering if switching up to Virginias will help? And if so, which ones?
What worries me is that Virginias tend to have a higher Vitamin N level, which can be a little much for me. For instance, Black House tastes great, but goes straight to my head. (I would like to avoid this.) Pirate Kake, maybe that's too much of a good thing (latakia), but that makes my world spin. Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend is quite nice, but can be a little much nicotine-wise.
Will Virginias burn cooler in hotter climates like Myrtle Beach in June? If so, what should I be trying, which will not make my world spin?
