That incredible Zen...

[yanoJL]

Lately I've been enjoying drinks less and less so I guess I am taking a break for few months at least to let my mind and body reset. I can imagine coffee being awesome with pipe, but sadly I developed caffeine sensitivity so no more coffee for me :/
Might have to try if black tea pairs well with pipe tobacco, sounds like the Russian or British method :D

Decaf?

Come over to the dark side, and enjoy a pot of tea.....pairs great with the pipe!

I think everybody here knows what I mean. It is just that most relaxing feeling in the world, it is like climbing to a soft bed after a warm shower after a long ass day... Oh man...

Santiago, this is one reason I smoke. I live in a high rise near a small airport that is only serviced by small aircraft. I sooo look forward to relaxing on our balcony as the sun sets, light up my pipe, lean back, and watch the planes takeoff and land from Cartegena, Bogota or Medellin. The muffled sound of planes and cars below in the distance. People coming and going... The sun bouncing off the clouds and setting on the surrounding mountains...It's really just beautiful. So easy to drift off in thought.

Zen moments are beautiful. I try to search them by the rule of doing just one thing at a time.
Multitasking is a lie: you just shift your focus from this to that.
For me that is destructive of peace and a sure source for headache.

I don't like the term mindfulness though.
It's just a simplified monetarized version of Zen, sold by modern day wanna be-gurus.

Some teas have more caffeine than coffee. Be careful, but enjoy that pipe!

Indeed, there is nothing like smoking a nice bowl in the morning with a hot cup of coffee looking out over my deck. For those few moments of my day, all is right with the world.

After a long day, I'll enjoy a Cuba Libre with a nice bowl of MATCH 20 (thank you all for the suggestion).

I agree with everything said here.

I usually enjoy black tea and sometimes white tea. Not big fan of green teas.

I think I want to find some nice vanilla flavored tobacco to match my favorite black tea (Prince Vladimir):

Decaf?

Thank you for reminding me of it. Last year I did enjoy quite a lot of decaffeinated coffee.

Check out Mac Baren Vanilla Cream/Vanilla Flake/Vaniliia Roll Cake.
Quality Virginias without overpowering topping. They age well.

Don't match care for those actually. I prefer high quality beers from all over the world.
And rum. Dark rum.

Yuengling is the oldest brewery in America. I used to enjoy their Porter which I cannot obtain any longer. So I settle for Yuengling Black and Tan which is a blend of their Porter and Lager.

Making me thirsty..... This is from earlier in the summer. Some bars still "make" you one with Premium and Porter.
