Super Bowl blends

[addamsruspipe]

Now I really don't watch football during the year but it is our tradition to watch the super bowl. So I am putting together my list of foods/snacks/drinks for the game and trying to figure out what pipes and blends are going to go with them. So any suggestions on what blends best match up with the different foods.

Pizza

Con queso

chips

hamburgers

Guinness

Samuel Adams

French Silk Chocolate Pie

An old school American style Burley will take care of most of that.

This is the time to break out your big-bowl pipe or pipes and pack them in advance. You don't have to smoke continuously. Time out for eating and cheering or cussing, and trash talking with family and/or friends. But it's good not to have to stop and look down while you pack a pipe. Sorry, but I'm one of those who mutes the half-time show. The hype and over-produced show irks me for some reason. When you need a laser display and fireworks show to carry the music, it devalues the music ... and I'm an old grouch. Happy Sup-Bowl!

For my blend, I'm liking Russ' Log Cabin, and/or SWR Aro, an all-day smoke in a large bowl, to be sipped.

+1 on a Burley blend to go with those foods & brews you listed. No comment on the Super Bowl.

The best Super Bowl blend is Terrific Tom, but since it doesn't exist, anything will do. ::

Hmmm...maybe Edward G. Robinson, Iwan Ries Three Star Blue, PC's Chestnut (match to discontinued Walnut), PS Proper English (maybe for Boston fans up there in New England), Old Joe Krantz original, Peretti's #52 burley blend, Prince Albert in a cob ...

...since I will probably watch with others, I won't mute the half-time, just use it as an excuse to use the bathroom and then step outside with a snack for some air. Many like the half-time show better than the game. Each to their own. Don't rain on anyone's parade. I do like the ads, or some of them. Don't know who I'm backing -- the underdogs or Ageless Tom and team.
