I always enjoy a big cup of hot tea, brewed strong with loose leaves. Breakfast blends are good as are any other robust black teas such as Sri Lanka, Assam, Kenya, or if you can find it, Nilgiri. For a real treat, look for Fortnum & Mason's Queen Anne or Royal blends. Stay away from the lighter teas or weakly steeped brews while smoking. I take mine the English way with milk. A nice complement to a cigar.
