Well, I saw that there is an individual topic for drinks, but I think this question fits to the tobacco-topic.

So, what are your experiences with pipe tobacco / cigars and different drinks? Which are the best pairings? Unfortunately I can't drink alcohol because of health problems, so I'm rather interested in the relation of different tobaccos and tea / coffee types.

If I want focus on the blend for its complexity and/or nuance, ice water works pretty well. Hot or iced tea, black or green, without too much other flavoring works well. Since I take milk in my coffee, that tends to coat my mouth and reduce a blend's flavor. I'm not big on sodas, but they can be okay, and some juices, a bit watered down, work. It is interesting that a beverage seems to thicken the smoke in a good way and distribute the tobacco flavors better than no beverage, or that's my sense of it.
