Pipe and a drink?

[cajunplume]

I really haven't found anything I like particularly yet to drink with my pipe. I've tried a few things like wine, whiskey blends, whiskey straight.... None of them struck me as great just ok i guess. I need suggestions as im sure alot you out there enjoy "such things".

Coffee seems to always pair well with Tobacco in my experience, sounds like you're not much of a beer man but a Lager might be a good place to start. Something with subtle smooth flavors that will clean your pallet and make every puff enjoyable.

It kind of depends on the blend, but coffee or tea often work for me. With a rich, molasses or chocolate blend I enjoy a pint of a malty beer.

Coffee and beer most of the time for me! :puffpipe:

Nice cup-o-mud with a burley blend like H&H Classic Burley Kake, or SG-Bracken or Kendal Cream w/cup o mud or nice dark Bock

Coffee, tea (particularly black and pu-erh), soft drinks, beer, spirits, ginnintonix, wine, water...usually avoid fruit juices, milk / dairy, sparkling wine.

Aside from your usual coffee and tea, I really enjoy a nice, ice cold glass of lemonade. The chill of the drink works well with some of my beloved bitey blends

I can't think of any one thing that I always drink while smoking. Depends on my mood and the circumstances. Could be single malt, could be beer, could be wine, could be iced tea, could be hot tea or coffee...hell sometimes it's just good ol' glass of iced water.

Coffee...and more coffee...iced or hot.

 

[pstlpkr]

Coffee, or Ice-water.

A friend of mine drinks bourbon while smoking his pipe, I've had ale.

coffe or tea

It could be that the alcohol in the whiskies and wines irritates your tongue while you're smoking. Try some iced tea, oolong, darjeeling & earl grey all work well for me. A nice beer might work as well, I'm drinking a pint of Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale while smoking Dunhill 965 right now. It's a combo that works!

Coffee or beer. Experiment!

I'm sitting here with a scotch and a pipe full of a balkan blend. I'm content.

Port, hands down. And then Coffee when you can't have that. I would say beer and wine as well, but the beer's carbonation often tickles the hot tongue a little too much for comfort, and wine I find is usually just too acidic to have a smoke with(at least the cheaper ones I buy). Coffee makes the smoke feel cool too. Like jumping from a jacuzzi to a pool.

I'm with Nathaniel on the Port, particularly with strong English blends or cigars (Or cigar-leaf blends). It's hot 70% of the year here in Texas so Cold, sweet Iced tea or Iced coffee is a winner for me. At night when its cool, I like Irish Whiskey or Bourbon with a couple of cubes. For H&H Black House, however, I reach for a cold glass of Absinthe!
