What Do You Like to Drink During a Smoke? Alcoholic or Non?

[PlanxtyPipes]

Tea in the morning - Earl Gray or PG Tips usually

Water in the afternoon

Beer in the evening - Bitters, Porters, and Pale Ales mostly

It really depends of what I'm smoking. Virginias and VaPers tend to pair well with fruit juices and teas for me. And, a some blends, Turkish, and Orientals pair well with coffees or sodas for me. Escudo and apple cider is a current favorite that I've been enjoying in this ice storm.

 

[poopdeckpappy]

Lit up another bowl this time escudo and 8 fingers of jack...whoops make that 9

Hehehehe

 

[apiperisdown]

Rum ..and Iced Tea when there is none.
Bacardi Superior under ice and diet coke. Nothing fancy if you please.

 

[ravkesef]

Lime Diet Coke or hot tea.

 

[virginiacob]

I usually finish off a good smoke with a Coke Zero or a cup of coffee.

 

[moses]

Depending on the time of day: morning, coffee. Afternoon, tea. Evening, either a heady IPA or whisky of some stripe. Tonight specifically is Wild Turkey 101. Not bad stuff.

 

[av8scuba]

Usually water in the morning, but sweet tea in the afternoon/evenings. ::

 

[peteross]

Usually hot or cold tea. But you beer drinkers need to get your hands on some cask conditioned porter. It has less carbonation bite.

 

[apatim]

Brandy or fennel tea

 

[fearsclave]

In order, bourbon, brandy, or single malt. Last weekend I tried a 50/50 mix of Frangelico and Jim Beam. The mix holds promise; I might dial it down to 25-75...

 

[fadingdaylight]

I don't drink alcohol anymore really, my general pipe drink is coffee with creamer, no sugar. Seems to go well to me.

 

[fishingandpipes]

Black coffee or tea earlier, beer or whiskey later.

 

[nurseman]

Oolong , Darjeeling or silver needle white tea. My monthly Teavana bill is much more than my bacci .

 

[homeguard95]

A tall glass of Sweet Iced Tea.

 

[glwanabe]

Coffee in the am, especially with some Frog Morton Cellar, or 5110.
After lunch it just depends on what I feel like having. A few beers I enjoy, Guinness, Sam Adams Boston, Shiner Bock, or whatever else I might have. A nice glass of wine is also good in either a red or white. A Beringer Cabernet sauvignon has been quite nice lately with some Frog. I enjoyed a Sauvignon Blanc with HH House of Lords.
A Bourbon cocktail pairs well with most everything. I make a hard lemonade bourbon cocktail of almost equal parts bourbon, tonic water, and lemonade. Maybe a bit heavier on the bourbon than the other parts, but not out of balance.

 

[beefeater33]

When I smoke straight VA's, usually tea, hot or cold. When I'm smoking something with more heft I like IPA's-- Sierra Nevada Torpedo lately. And Bourbon neat, anytime, with any smoke if I'm in the mood. I love good Cabs and Syrahs but can't seem to get them to mesh with the pipe..........

 

[macabra11]

Lately I have been drinking a lot of iced tea with my smokes. This past Saturday while brewing up a couple beers, I had a few bowls with some different craft brews and found that I didn't necessarily care for the combination. It really changed my palate and didn't allow me to appreciate either vice to its fullest potential (neither the beer or the tobacco).

 

[curl]

coffee, tea, beer, whiskey, rum

i enjoy a pipe with all of them

but Jarritos Mexican soda really hits the spot.

 

[natenice1]

Valerian root herbal tea with honey an hour before bedtime, my relax time. Valerian root counteracts some heavy blends that tend to wire you up before bedtime.
