Alcohol and Tobacco

I love whiskey and I love tobacco. However, when I put them together the whiskey almost always overpowers the smoke. Mixing it with coke helps, but the taste of the tobacco is still masked. Have any of you had this problem?

@jacobramsey74;
I don't mean to make light of your question, Brother, but who cares? Good whiskey vs Good Tobac. Let them fight it out!

Never had that problem. I do however have great recipes!

@opipeman

I mostly drink beer and that goes great with a pipe. I do rarely drink Knob Creek rye, JW red label, Makers Mark, or Beefeaters but never paired with pipe, not because of what you said, but usually because I simply don't take it outside with me like I do my beer. That said, I can see what you mean though especially if it's a straight Virginia (like CRF) or something which is what I mostly smoke.

You could try “smoking” your whiskey glass with the tobacco you are planning on stuffing in your pipe. I could see a smoky or peaty whiskey/whisky overpowering a smoke though, especially a straight virginia.

I do that with bourbon. Blow the first smoke in the filled glass and cover it.
I will show you tonight when I make mine.

I've can't recall having that problem and I seldom put anything in a glass of whiskey other than an ice cube.

Is it a problem with all tobacco blends you smoke or just one?

It's rare that I pair my pipe with Bourbon or Scotch or any other whiskey. That's because more often than not, I'm at the cigar lounge where we do a lot of bottle shares and naturally, I suppose, feel compelled to smoke cigars along with everyone else. That being said, any solid bourbon would pair well with my go-to tobacs (Peterson Flake, Orlik Golden Sliced and Mac Baren Old Dark Fired). It's all about your palate, of course.

@PappyJoe

Yeah its with pretty much every blend I have tried.

@Londy3
alright I look forward to seeing it

@RockyMountainBriar
Thats an interesting tip thank you. I'll let you know how it goes

@jim102864

I understand that feeling all to well. I feel bad bringing my own tobacco to a cigar bar. Even if I buy a drink

I went looking for the video that SmokingPipes.com had on “whiskey glass smoking cocktail”, but it looks like it is no longer up. Probably some stupid government overreach ban on smoking related subject matter.

@RockyMountainBriar

Your probably right. I don't know why... more people die of eating too much crap than they do tobacco usage. Thank you for looking though.
