I think that's a great idea for a newbie like myself. My question is: Do you have any recommendation for a paring that may be interesting, and more importantly, inexpensive? I don't want to waste a smoke since I probably won't be relaxing and enjoying them, as much as analyzing them. |
I know what helped me the most when I started smoking was buying a bunch of singles or fivers of all kinds of smokes. Once I found one with a hint of coffee I knew what I was looking for. Also an unsweetened cocoa is a flavor I enjoy. I never even knew I could find these in a cigar until it happened. I did find alot of other smokes I enjoy as well, but I haven't met to many maduros I didn't like. It is different for everybody so try them all.
Like what Pnoon said it may be some what of a waste to burn two cigars side by side, and being a new smoker I couldn't handle that much nico
Keep us posted if you try this technique you posted about. Welcome to the site! Sounds like it could be fun to try with two small cigars maybe, but I worry about mixing aromas, and aftertastes. Those are also parts of a cigar I pay attention to.
