You need to check out The Balvenie! My wife got me the 21 for Christmas... Their 12 is comparable to the HP 15 in my opinion. Man! You need to check out The Balvenie!

A good example would be a concoction I threw together consisting of some BAC, BLWAB and some 1-Q about a year ago. Initially, I found it unsmokable. Left it in the tobacco jar for a year and went back to it. It had finally become smokable to the point that I'll at least finish the pound or so in the jar, but it's not likely I'll make that blend again. As for Peterson blends, I avoid them all as they rain fire down upon my tongue.

I do admit that I love a good strong drink with my pipe much like I did with my cigars, I prefer the taste and aroma of whiskey, Jack Daniel's is great, but I find that Makers Mark has that great aroma of the oak without being overpowering. At the risk of sounding overly stereotypical Tequila is also a great companion to a smoke, I prefer the dark amber of Tequilas reposadas, which are tequilas that are aged in oak barrels for anywhere from six months to several years. The age of the tequila give it a much smoother and much more complex taste as supposed to the pale yellow or clear tequilas that are often served in bars as shots. If you're ever willing to take the risk I recommend "Tres Generaciones Reposada." Also I've found that red wine particulary Merlot goes well with the stronger pipe tobaccos. Desert white wine and especially meed goes extraordinary well with the aromatic blends. Hope that I didn't ramble anyone into boredom.

Current bottle is The Famous Grouse, the only blended scotch that I like. Budgetary constraints preclude any single malt for the nonce, but I like Balvenie, Strathspey and Glenlivet when I can afford 'em. For a change of pace, Buffalo Creek and Evan Williams bourbon are 2 others I like. Also tawny port goes well with a bowl. Love scotch with a pipe.
