    I've read a lot about what folks like to drink, including with a smoke, but does anyone match specific drinks to a specific blend?

    Hi folks, As a new pipe smoker i've been trying a few bits to see what i like, and Bob's is the closest i've found to a regular smoke. I wonder what else is in a similar vein? Ideally i'm looking for something smooth but still tasty and less floral. Aside from Bob's i've tried a few things i...
