Yeah, cigars and sushi don't mix. Especially if you've eaten some wasabi and ginger. I agree that steak and cigars is a much better combo.

I also did not have the heart to tell the person who gifted me the cigar that the first half of the cigar was overpowered by jalapeno infested bowl of spiciness. I should have known better to even think about ordering Chili that day but it just never clicked until after the fact.

I've killed my palate with spicy food on several occasions before smoking a cigar. It's almost difficult to taste anything but spice. Now, I'm very careful to not eat spicy food before I smoke.
