Fruit and Tobacco pairings

SLCarrico

This morning I smoked a bowl of Dunhill EMP in my MM Legend. After I cleaned my pipe I immediately peeled a Cutie and had a most delectable experience with the smokey aftertaste still lingering in my mouth and beard. Tomorrow I think I will try pairing them simultaneously and see how it is.
Any of you have some good tobacco and fruit pairing suggestions that you've experienced?

I've put orange rind (not peels) on a small piece of paper towel on top of jarred tobacco. As long as the tobacco isn't overly moist and you watch, daily, for mold, it seems to impart a delightful flavor/aroma.

I absolutely love prickly pears - also called cactus fruit - but you really have to be careful when peeling away the outer skin of the fruit because it has nearly invisible needles that are like splinters, and can be a bitch to remove because they're so small you can barely see them when trying to get them out with a pair of tweezers. But the fruit is exceptionally sweet. And there are seeds abound - but I simply swallow them as well. Chew carefully so you don't chip a tooth on the seeds. Sounds like a lot of work but it's well worth it.

Some people spit out pomegranate nibs/seeds.

Go figure.

I like the orange rind on the tobacco trick. I'm going to try that. What tobaccos have you used that on?

I've used it on PA and other burleys, it doesn't last for the whole smoke for me.

I used it on Autumn Evenings and Warm-Up, as well as Erinmore and 1-Q. It made each a bit more enjoyable, but I moved on.

Thanks. I'll give a try at least for the fun of it.
I wonder how lemon would do?

Can't see why lemon rind (zest?) wouldn't work. Just make sure you don't use fruit skin.... just rind or zest.

SLCarrico

Rind or zest got it.
