Cigars & Beer

I have not done much experimenting, but in my experience the two don't really compliment each other. I'll stick with whiskey if I'm enjoying a cigar, and leave the beer for another time. Although this thread has me curious again...

 

I don't smoke cigars, but as long as we're on the topic of tobacco....



this is what I love, my pipe, some quality tobacco, and a nice Imperial Stout.

 

Best cigar I've ever had...



Goes better with some 12/18 year scotch than a beer.

 

KBS or Doris the destroyer + Arturo Fuente Corona Imperial Maduro = my fav combo

 

Like some others here, I generally enjoy bourbon better with a cigar. However, a Drew Estates Java cigar does go nicely with most Imperial Stouts.

 

Love that glass!

 

Loving all the pics here. Also I would agree that a cigar is well complimented by a scotch or bourbon (would never turn one down), but for me there's something about sipping on one or two beers for the length of a cigar that really brings out my enjoyment of both. Not to mention the buzz...

 

Pipe smokers unite!!!!!!

 

anything rolled by don jose pepin garcia and an IRS, BA Stout, or a DIPA.
Particularly the "My Father" cigars and Parabola.

 

I do like those "My Father" cigars! My go to cigar is either a Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary or a Vintage. Pair it with a Black Note (or BB4D) in the cold months and a DIPA in the warm months

 

I have a few handfuls of those in my humidor. I love Blanton's!! My goto bourbon

 

a good cigar and KBS,Brooklyn Black Ops,Black Chocolate Stout. Bourbons I like are Woodford reserve and Maker's 46. A good portalso goes very well with a quality cigar.

 

Yeah, I really dug this cigar all by itself as well. One of the best I've enjoyed, mmmmm.

My tasting group are big cigar aficionados, and we generally take a break out to the fire ring to smoke cigars.

Often they pair well, but just as often they don't pair at all well with beers. It's nice to find a combo that works, where beer and cigar make each other seem even better.

 

Those cigars rock!

 

BROLLIANT. patel 1992 is a beast.

 

I usually go with a stout with I am smoking a cigar. I just got into cigars this fall so I have not had a lot of chances to pair them with beer. Once the weather warms up I will be doing it quite often.

If not a beer I will go with a scotch or bourbon.

 

everyone has there own prefence...(for me it"s a nice dfh brown ale and a perdomo lot 23) but really when it comes down to it most of us would sit out back with a pbr and a backwoods

 

You have great taste in cigars, Scotch and beer!

Those Epicure 2 are some of m favorites. In the last pic, is that the 2010 Monte EL? One of my favorite cigars to date.

 

Just had barrel aged BORIS with a Gurkha Black Dragon and found it to get a pretty good pairing.

 

Romeo and Juliet Habana Reserve or a Vegas 5 with a BCBS or any other bourbon barrel aged stout. If I'm going with straight bourbon, I'll go with an Eagle Rare 10 year single barrel.
