Hot Weather Smokes

[MikeDennison]

Being not allowed to smoke indoors, my piping happy place is the porch. However, the weather is hot & humid...and my pipes tend to get a little warm to the touch. I'm planning on working from home today, which means I can spend the day on the porch with pipe firmly clenched in jaw. So, I'm asking all you old-timers;

1. Is there a particular type of pipe that you prefer for hot, humid, outdoors smoking?
2. Is there a particular blend of tobacco that you recommend for the same?

Thanks for your help!

I think you should just pick a pipe you like and a tobacco you like. I'm not much help I guess.

Well, Mr. Keith...I certainly can't argue with ya!

For me, hot weather is MM cob weather and the baccy of choice is LBF. Time for something grassy!

I think I'll give that very thing a try just now. Thanks!

I smoke indoors and outdoors. I smoke in the car. I am smoking in my office right now.

Having said all that, I am going to recommend Big-n-Burley in a Grabow, just because that has been working well for me today.

I smoke indoors most of the time, but if I'm going to be smoking outdoors I just choose the tobacco I want to smoke at the time. Some smokers will say that Virginias and Virginia/Perique blends work well in hot weather. To be honest it's a personal thing.

For some reason, Reverend, that recommendation doesn't surprise me at all.

Thanks, Ray. My pipes tend to be loaded with codger burley blends...I just love the durn things! But today I think I'm going to open with VA's in a cob. I piled into the "tickle trunk" for some stuff that's been cellared for a coupla years. Some of it never tried. Gonna be a day of exploration! I just may get a little actual work done.

If nothing else I am predictable.
