I really enjoy Lapsang Suchong Tea ; its a black tea
that is smoked as part of the curing process.
It tastes like Tea made over a campfire.

Hope ya like it

I agree. I like Lapsang Souchong with a bit of milk. My favorite mix is 1/2 and 1/2 Harney and Sons Russian Country and Lapsang Souchong with some milk. Tasty, smoky, and has body that the Lapsang lacks on it's own.

If it's whiskey, it's Laphroaig.

I roast my own coffee. To make the perfect cup with the perfect pipe which in my case is Savinelli 616 and Dunhill London Mixture and French Pressed Sumatra.

To make a perfect cup always use fresh roasted coffee less then 30 days from the roast date. If it has an expire date on the bag it is likely already dead beans. Roasted coffee has the same shelf life as bananas and off flavors are noticeable 30 days after roasting.

1) Measure 55g of whole bean coffee to a 1 liter French Press
2) Grind the beans as course as possible
3) Water just after the boil. When water is boiling stop the boil and wait for bubbles to stop rising. That is the perfect tempeture
4) Add grounds and water to French Press and set timer for 4 minutes
5) Stir the mixture initiallly as CO2 is release and foams on the top.
6) When timer goes off, slowly plunge the press. If it is resistant, pull up slightly on the plunger and then press.
7) Serve in a preheated, thick-walled, coffee mug

Front porch, coffee, Miles Davis Kind of Blue and your pipe.

Now that is living!

Coffee in the morning but when I get home in the evening nothing beats a nice glass of Johnny walker black and a bowl of my favorite blend. The smooth smokiness of jw compliments pretty much every blend I've tried.

I have to say, that I get the Johnny Walker thing. You drink it straight on the rocks or with something? Figure not drinking it straight is probably a sacrilege, eh?

Straight on the rocks, I always figured that if something is not worth drinking without mixing, then it isnt worth drinking period. I never really liked cokes and My acid reflux acts up if i try orange juice or anything citrus so I never caught on with mixing.

Right now, I just have iced water with a little fresh squeezed lemon juice. A month ago I made the mistake of trying to combine two of my rituals for relaxation: having a glass of white wine and smoking a pipe. Needless to say, it destroyed the taste of the wine, and the wine exacerbated my tongue bite. Since then, I've been reluctant to pair pipes with alcohol, but based on the suggestions here I'm going to try it with scotch. I inherited some , that, as far as we know, is at least 25 years old (!). It was an inexpensive scotch when it was purchased, so it's nothing extravagant, but it has aged very well, so based on what's been said here I look forward to pairing them.
