I pair my beloved F&T JR Justice, so evocative of the past, with George Gissing’s “The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft,” with its enchanting melancholy. They were made for each other. Any takers? Snuff for Dickens? For Huckleberry Finn?
How about Toque Crazy George with Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Bernard Brasil Doppelt-Fermentiert with Jaroslav Hasek’s The Good Soldier Svejk
Bernard Civette Extrafein with E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr
FUBAR Bohica with Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (Could also pair well with Catch 22)
Toque Lime Toast with Melville’s Moby Dick
I match snuffs with my mood and want at any given time. If a book is so shallow as to only induce one state of mind from cover to cover, I have no interest in reading it.
American scotches with twain. Royal George with hornblower, Tom Buck with Jane Austen…
6 Photo Kailash + Hesses’ Siddharta
Macouba would seem to be appropriate whilst reading David Copperfield
Oh, and HDT with Dubliners
Toque Lime Toast with Melville’s Moby Dick
Or,for nautical Limeys, Horatio Hornblower and the Patrick O’Brian novels?
And I’m tempted to link the culinary titan, Escoffier, with anything from Chef Daniel! (The Chef is leagues ahead of, say, Julia Child).
Any snuff with any issue of Playboy. I only read it for the pictures :^o
@cpmcdill : I think Gravity’s Rainbow have plenty of room for many a sniff through their pages! The story about the Herero people? NTSU Black. Captain Blicero? That’s Klostermischung for me. The very beginning? A banana snuff for sure. “Their Latakia smell” line? Oh, you all know that one… Also, I think Inherent Vice has to receive the company of a couple of pinches of F&T Patchouli… and what about when he mentions snuff (even “medicated snuff”, that makes me believe mr. Pynchon actually partakes on our trade) in the pages of Mason & Dixon? @Michael : I believe Kailash and Hesse makes up for a mystical combination indeed.
Since I provide my Spiritual Father with 6 Photo, 6 Photo Kailash goes well with any books related to Eastern Orthodoxy. 6 Photo Special goes well with old time detective mysteries (especially Nero Wolfe by Rex Stout.)
I’m fond of old paris with my worn out sherlock holmes
Freak Brothers comic books with heavy blasts of Taxi red.
