As the OP stated, we all have different tastes. I've read posts on boards for years that a lot of people don't smoke Latakia blends during the heat of the summer. Quite frankly, I've never understood it.
As I type I'm smoking a bowl of Squadron Leader on my front porch. I know my tastes are a bit unusual, but I love the stuff. To me Latakia blends have an almost 'menthol' taste that is to me somewhat cool. My taste for Latakia doesn't wane. Luckily I cellared a couple of pounds of SL ten years or so ago and have a good bit of my stash left.
That being said, my favorite summer blend was "Blackwood Flake." Regrettably, I haven't had any in five years or more. It's one of the departed blends that I miss.
