Pairings

Howdy all,

I was interested to know what you guys prefer to pair with your favorite cigar or pipe.

Or even not a smoke. What's your perfect drink for your perfect meal?

Does water count?

Yes it does sometimes nothing tastes better than a cool refreshing glass of water.

I drink water or tea with every meal except lunch where I usually have a root beer half diluted with water. Adult beverages are reserved for after the children hit the sack.

I might add that throughout my workday I pair my work with coffee

Interesting.

Is this for a supposed benefit of the children, or just something like a variable 'no drink before 8 o clock' rule?

Great thread.

For a pipe - good strong English tea

For pasta - good red wine

For a steak - Guinness Stout

For conversation - single malt or bourbon

None of the above Bruno I just prefer my judgment not be impaired anymore than normal when dealing with them

I like different pairings with different activities. It's a good thing alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are still legal. Hopefully I'll be worm food before the nanny state fixes that.
