Took me awhile to find this thread again
.
I have had some good experiences lately, and thought that I would share
. I have been enjoying a bottle of wine (Valpolicella) with a couple different blends. I have found that it goes great with a blend that contains some burley (not too much, but certainly a little), and I just got through a glass with some Escudo. The burley/latakia/virginia was the best, all the flavours of tobacco and wine weaved together and complemented each other and I will definitely do this combo again (for those curious, it was 4noggins Bald Headed Teacher). I liked the Escudo with this, but the burley helped the blending a bit more in my opinion.
I will add that bourbon and tobacco are also a great pairing, they just seem to be made from the same cloth
