So my first two pipes of Penzance almost had me thinking I didn't like it very much. Something about the strength of flavor was hitting me wrong and I've left the stuff sitting for several days.
I decided to dry some out and give it another shot, and it just so happened I had just finished dinner when I did.
After a meal and with a drink, Penzance was 10 times better. I've decided to make it my "post-meal" tobacco.
And to be on the topic I've noticed most smokes go better with a drink (alcohol or non-alcoholic).
Now I already know the answer I'll hear from brewshooter, I'm sure he drinks some homebrew along with a pipe.
What do you have along with your smoke? Do you have certain tobaccos that you eat or drink along with deliberately and if so, what are they?

Following the white rabbit
I like Uhle's Irish Aromatic with my morning coffee. They just seem to go together.
With a Latakia blend I like a good beer or Scotch.
While driving my rig I usually have a bottle of Glacier Freeze Gatorade to sip while I smoke.

Not an alcohol drinker but I do usually drink something, usually coffee or ginger ale. THE BEST combo I have found is a fatty swine greasy somethin er other breakfast, a stout cup of Starbucks and Plum Pudding.

The Water
I've decided that I can't drink a cold drink before/during a pipe. Not right now anyway - I tend to draw too hard and get bitten. I brought some Irish cream cappuccino out with a bowl of Altadis Sunset Rum the other day and it was delicious.

Typically coffee or water as that's about all I drink unless you count juicing, which I guess we can but I'm not sure I've had a bowl while enjoying a juice... there's something to try.

Mostly coffee.. At night a good dark beer.
What I did find to be a good combo is MacB vanilla cream and DrPepper
