Favorite Non-Alcoholic Beverage With A Pipe

[leonardbill1]

Diet Dr Pepper.

 

[Streeper541]

If I'm not drinking Whiskey or Bourbon with my pipe, I'm usually drinking Iron Bean Coffee or Barry's Irish Tea.

コーヒー、紅茶、ペプシは私のお気に入りです。

 

[Eye-level]

I try different things with different tobaccos. It's a game of flavors.

 

[americaman]

Snapple Trop-A-Rocka iced tea.

 

[Reggie]

COFFEE !!!!!

I put down the bottle a while back now as well. Coffee was always my go to pipe companion but I switched to tea a few years ago and I’m obsessed. There are so many varieties to choose from. Black tea goes with everything but you can get creative with oolong, Japanese green tea, pu-erh, hei cha, matcha, and hojicha. All varying levels of caffeine as well

At the moment, it enhances my smoke with black coffee, and if I add whiskey or brandy. Tea does not give me that extra pleasure in the smoke.

Gave up the booze awhile back now (insert winners never quit joke here) and was wondering what everyone's favorite beverage pairing with a pipe is on the NA side? Would love specifics, so instead of "tea" perhaps "this one black spice tea I get from the Armenian market on my corner" or something to that effect ?

Technically you should never pair alcohol with smoking regardless of your proclivities because alcohol dissolves the protective mucus in your mouth and exacerbates absorption of carcinogens.

If I'm smoking a low nic blend then I prefer Tea with Lime, if it's a strong blend then I'll grab a Dr. Pepper.

I like coffee in the morning, French Roast, and tea in the evening, Earl Grey

 

[brandaves]

Aeropress coffee, black.

I tried pilsener with my pipe, but it didn't work. I never tried liquor with it, I try to seperate both, I don't want to either to taint the experience.

I normally drink coffee (black neat) or tea (earl grey) with my pipe. I never tried soda, with pilsener the carbonation didn't work.

 

[simong]

Tea for me. Hot, strong & with a dash of milk.
Tea & Tobacco......life savers!

 

[JOHN72]

I also like the contrast of smoking Virginias with a glass of red wine. And as Dan says, I don't like carbonated beverages with tobacco either.

I used to get Teavana Maharaja Chai but Teavana is gone. Bigelow makes a great vanilla chia that I have with tobacco. Stopped drinking years ago. Adagio has a great selection to choose from for loose mixes.

 

[Grangerous]

Black coffee or Tea

I enjoy food/drink pairing, but to my taste, no attempted pairing has complemented pipe smoke well besides
a medium roast Sumatran coffee with a Balkan tobacco.

Most other coffee/tobacco combinations tended to detract both ways.

A few other drink possibilities may be neutral, but don't enhance anything (water, tea).
But most other drink possibilities positively clash (any alcohol, IMO).

I don't see the need to drink anything while smoking a pipe.
Although I enjoy parsing a tobacco for flavor, like a food or a drink, I don't categorize tobacco with food and drink so far as pairing goes. For me, it's an evening enjoyment to be had on its own.

If I'm thirsty while smoking, I'll drink water, just like any other time.

(But again, I will admit that a medium roast Indonesian coffee and a Balkan mixture do really complementary things together.)

Normally I drink tea or sparkling water while smoking.
When I'm in the mood, I go for Beck's 0% beer.
