Usually just water for me, but I do like viriginias with coffee sometimes.

G and H 1792 flake in an krisswell schooner with a Tyneside blond.
( a Newcastle micro brewery very bitter pale ale)

I’m with you brother except, it’s anything and a beer?
Pretty much any blend with rum & coke. I know concurrent alcohol consumption increases risk but it's just too yummy haha.
Although, one of the most interesting and intoxicatingly decadent pairings I've ever experienced in my life was some well aged Mississippi River from a wood stemmed churchwarden and a fine Pinot Noir. The richness of that experience was one for the record books.... ?

Any answer that fails to cite the word "beer'' is wrong.
I have not tried it yet, but a good margarita paired with a good VaPer. Can see the zing of the lime playing well with the spicy perique.
If I'm drinking an adult beverage, then a crisp Gin & Tonic go well with a Straight Virginia, heavy on the Bright variety. Also a heady IPA works well with a Virginia/Perique for me.
But I've also been enjoying my morning coffee with a bowl of Eight State Burley these days. And something about Orlik Golden Sliced and a good cup English Breakfast with a touch of milk is a great combo.

I just answered in another post “New Morning Routine” that I’ve found that a nice cup of hot tea with milk and a teaspoon of honey really compliments Granger. The flavors play off of one another alternating sips.
Funny how that works. Always some new discovery ?. Usually I enjoy black coffee with a bowl.

Morning: Bourbon Santos beans,ground by hand and brewed in a French press
Evening: Gin & Tonic with either Hendricks, Bluecoat or Gunpowder Irish Gin gin with Fever Tree Tonic
Late night: Any of the following,Eagle Rare, Paddy's, Knappogue Castle or Old Forester
Around a campfire or at deer camp: see late night above*
* choice of brand of bourbon or Irish whiskey directly proportional the the quality of those joining you around the fire

Birds of a feather.... I was going to post my favorite - a rhum mojito with a VaPer
I've been getting into a bit of a 'health kick' and enjoying the irony of drinking healthy tonics with a side of pipe. A friend got me into Yerba Mate - and the roasted versions go well with burley's similarly to black coffee.
As mojitos were mentioned already... in the summer heat though, I make a Yerba Mate and fresh mint mojito with rum and freshly squeezed lime. I enjoy this with G&H Dark Plug and Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong.
You know... for your health and all that jazz.
I really enjoy strong G&H blends or lakelands with a nice strong cup of English tea; but not sure how summery that is.

Any of the quality Virginia flakes with Bolthouse 100% pure carrot juice.
Yesterday's bowl of PS LTF was accompanied with a cocktail I never made before: Glenlivet 12 yr. w/Q brand ginger ale, and the juice of two lime wedges, over ice. The key was to find a ginger ale that didn't have corn syrup (the presence of which is expressly forbidden in my house), and we live about 50 miles from the nearest services in Santa Clarita/Valencia, so I cannot just simply walk down the street and get something. I guess this is what's called a whiskey ginger, but Glenlivet is scotch whisky, so I don't know if this technically constitutes the same beverage. I know there are a couple dudes on here who are more versed in this topic than myself--if any of you care to offer your two cents on this, I'd love to hear it.
Anyway, this ice-cold drink just went so well with the VA flake. It rained in the morning, so there were beautiful clouds in the sky (see below), the smell of wet mountain/desert vegetation, and a cool breeze blowing. It was truly heavenly!
This is the view from my smoking area.

You should give these a whirl if you like a strong ginger presence:
No corn syrup. Has a little pineapple to it also. Really good.
I LOVE Walnut; and found some tubs of the Middleton Walnut at a Southern Illinois Pharmacy. I bought all five tubs, and counter lady looked at me like I was insane? Bonus was they were discounted to $9.99 a tub, and by the looks of the discount sticker, they’d been discounted for a few years? only wish they had Kentucky Club too, would’ve been my dream haul
