That’s my idea of a relaxing day.

I have to remember to take a couple nice stogies to Big Brew!
I have it on my list.
I had to give up the stogies a few years back, but I like it when the other guys fire em up. Brings back memories of great cigars gone by…what is your favorite brew to drink with a cigar?
Excellent decision!
Whiskey. Or something like an old ale or a doppelbock. Gotta be a big beer.
Now that the weather is warming up, I can smoke 'em again.
My Oatmeal Stout was fantastic with a cigar, girlfriends Hazelnut Brown is really nice too.
Cigars can vary as much as beers and can pair nicely with a wide range of beer depending on the strength and character of the cigar.
That said, my favorite pairing is actually a triad. Stogie, whiskey and beer; if you have some whiskey I think you can enjoy a wider range of beers in the same sitting. You should really be sitting.
The way I like my cigars, you’ll end up sitting if you don’t start out that way.
Nice strong maduro. Only way to go.
I haven’t smoked a cigar in years, mainly because my best friend who I used to smoke with develeoped some killer sinus problems and just can’t be around the things anymore. My fave pairing was with an Islay scotch whisky while simmering a batch of beef stew.
Although I don’t generally smoke a cigar while I am brewing I do enjoy a good cigar occasionally. Depending on my mood it could be a beer, scotch, bourbon, or even coffee to go with the cigar. It really depends on the type of cigar I intend on smoking. Just another finer moment in life.
For me it is a every afternoon occurrence. In my little mancave around 4:00 a couple homebrews and a cigar. Retirement is a great life. ;D
