Saw this blog post:

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.
