   How many folks change blend types with changes in the seasons: what and when.
   I kinda hunker down with codger Burleys in Winter, and gradually switch off to Virginia types in the Spring. I don't do it intentionally -- it just seems like an inadvertent transition in tastes or appetite.

   as if I could kill time without injuring eternity. -- Thoreau

   I do the same thing. I will smoke quite a few aromatics in the fall and winter. But when it starts getting warmer out, I don't really prefer to smoke them. This also happens somewhat with English blends as well.

   When it starts getting warmer, I tend to gravitate towards mainly Virginia and VA/Per blends. I still smoke English and some Aromatics during the warm months, but not quite as often as I do in the cooler months.

   I think I tend to go with those smokes that I can take a bite out of in the cooler months.
   And, in the warmer months I tend toward lighter smokes.

   But, I think the largest influence would be my surroundings, what I'm listening to, or reading, and the time of day.
   I love my latakia in the morning.

   More flavor, fruits & nuts (Georgetown Tobacco's Christmas Morning/Hyland's Snowflake) in the fall and winter, lighter flavors in the spring and summer (Red Cap & Black Cavendish)...

   Kind of like beef stew and bread in the colder months... Sandwiches and salad in the warmer months... and Irish Coffee/Earl Gray in the winter, Iced Tea & Beer in the summer...

   What ever is on sale or my last commission check will bare .
