Any summery blend?

[rakia]

It was winter with much raining. So I bought a lot of Latakia blends such as Wessex tradition english blend (1 year aged) and Samuel Gawith balkan.
I really enjoy the taste of tobacco, but summer is comming - Latakia feels bit heavy in sunny weather.
Could you guys suggest me some light and refreshing blend? delightful, light, kinda sour?
Thanks always.

From what I've read after being here for awhile is that a lot of these members smoke Virginia based tobacco in the hot season.

I'm so new to it that I just smoke what appeals to me at any given moment within my current assemblage.

Sour taste I've heard can be detected in burleys, although you usually read: nutty sweet.

Other blends use such a small amount of Latakia as to be qualified if they fulfill your taste expectations.

PS LNF is a fine Va flake that isn't too heavy, and if you smoke it too fast you might get a sour taste?

Orlik Golden Sliced is my go to warm weather blend.

 

[newbroom]

I KNEW that blend would get a mention or two or three. LNF is my alternative and is a bulk.

Last evening... the first evening we could sit out on the porch in shorts and t-shirts and watch the sun set this year... I had a bowl of Mac Baren Virginia #1 Ready Rubbed and it was so perfect. In this same balmy interval, I have enjoyed Mac Baren Modern Virginia, Orlik GS, and several very similar blends that I bet you would enjoy as well!

I've never ascribed to seasonal smoking but one blend I enjoy in the hot weather is SG Grousemoor.

Why not Samuel gawith summer flake and spring flake.

Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed Match is one of my go-to summer blends.

I tend to lean pretty heavily on New Market in the summer months. Lemony, citrus sourness with a bit of vanilla/spice/earth from the deer tongue.

Thanks guys, will find those blend in local tobacco store!

Also I'll buy some cobs with it.

I really like orlic golden slices during the summer.

Last night I had s bowl of LBF it's a great one that pairs well with ice tea or a cold beer.

Capstan flake (blue) which I smoke all year round, for me tastes even better on a very hot balmy evening.

Lane's 125th Anniversary blend, available in bulk, is a light flavorful blend that would be a good summer smoke. So many good Va/Pers to choose from.

Erinmore flake, petersons perfect plug, and oddly enough, escudo.

I'll second the Perfect Plug. Feathercut, it's an ideal summer morning smoke.

I usually go for VaPers in the summertime and the occasional aromatic, on a cool night I try to sneak in a light English blend. This year I'll be smoking a lot of Lakelands, I can tell ya that much. I hate the heat though as I run hot as it is. I can't smoke indoors so I tend not to smoke near as much in the summer. : (

Mac Baren Club Blend doesn't get a lot of love here, but it's a sweet, spicy number that's a great summer afternoon smoke.
Hot, steamy summer nights call for Escudo. ::

It is not wise to discount the Burleys, either. OJK is a perfect summertime smoke around here.
