Greetings from BBQ City

[skydog]

Welcome from NC, the real home of good BBQ!

I'm also a peated scotch fan, grew up enjoying good bourbon but once I found peat I was hooked. Oddly enough though I rarely enjoy smokey tobacco, mostly VA and VA/per in my cellar.

Got some moose carne asada prepping for my daughters second birthday on Saturday.

I'll put it this way if anyone gets into a fight about this subject I will be willing to judge a fair number of samples before declaring a tie.

Who said the thinking man is dead?
another Bob= the arbiter of BBQ

I enjoy both, but never pair them. Peated scotch and anything with Latakia is just too much of a flavor dick punch for me.

In fact I rarely drink heavily peated scotch with anything other than burley based blends. Unless I've already had plenty of both, then I'll pair anything with anything.

the very self declared and arbitrary arbiter

I was going to ask if you had any suggestions for tobacco pairings with peated scotch

Welcome, from Alaska. At first I was thinking you meant Lexington, NC.

Or Wilson, NC....lol

Welcome from North Carolina.

That’s a question I’d like to open up to anyone who cares to make a suggestion
I’m not good at that sort of thing

 

[LotusEater]

Or Wilson, NC....lol

I know ... or any number of places in the Carolinas, Texas, Tennessee etc

Well, I think I can smoke a pretty good brisket or chuck. And, my baked beans are pretty tasty as well. My secret is a six pack of PBR tall boys. I don't care if the sauce is vinager or tomato based since I usually forget about it.

Best place I have had BBQ in Tennessee is in Memphis dry ribs and the Ridgewood in Bluff City.

Yeah
A six pack of PBR tall boys can do that

TBH I like Memphis BBQ a lot but you gotta luv the burnt ends in KC

I liked burley based blends, or burley based semi-aros. I put asterisks by the ones that are easier to find.

Love KC BBQ! Bryant’s is my favorite and easiest to get to but I will go out of my way to go to Jack Stack and Joe’s once in awhile. I’ve consumed lots of Scotch over the years at the GKCPC Pipe Shows over the years.
