I like a full, hearty blend in such situations. MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired or HH Bold Kentucky. I also second a previous recommendation of Irish Flake or Rattray's Sterling Flake.
I wouldn’t smoke. Just a big wad of Redman in the jaw and some ice cold Strohs beer. Gotta spit in the fire and watch it sizzle……… That’s just how I grew up and my preference. I just enjoy the smokiness of the fire itself
