    Favorite Tobak Pairings

    I haven’t tried it yet, but with cigars especially maduro I like Guinness or Dragons Milk so I wonder how that would work with a strong English blend.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Branching off from cigar smoking into pipe smoking I selected the following to start with.
