Holiday Food and your tobacco

Believe it or not, your tobacco can change the taste of your food, or vice versa. Tobacco has a powerful flavor, be it

Non-aromatic or aromatic. It hits right in the middle of the tongue and spreads from there. Non-Aromatics tend to go from the middle to the tip. Aros tend to go closer to the outer sides. Therefore if you want to do justice to the lady of house' cooking during these holidays keep your choice of tobaccos on the lighter side. Smoke outside, because as you enter the house those wonderful aromas emanating from the kitchen will hit you right in the middle of the eyes!

If you are an aromatic smoker, chose a chocolate- cherry tobacco, or laced with rum, cognac or whiskey. It will make the newcomers loooove that eggnog you will be handing them. That's right, if you can get a fire pit going and have your drinks outside, not only you can smoke your best backy but be the bell of the ball too...lol

After dinner, if you are a non-aromatic smoker chose a mellow burley-Latakia or burley-Cavendish mixture. No Orientals, no Perique. Tennessee Burleys and Kentucky Burleys lend lightness to the room note. Many times they are confused with Aromatic mixtures.

And don't eat too much! Uncomfort will take away the pleasure of the many tastes you will experience during the holiday meals...

Enjoy all....
