Why do I say that? Because I might be a beer snob...

Personally, a light beer is a waste of the ingredients used to make it, I cannot stand the stuff - it has no flavor to me. However, it isn't my tastebuds that matter when you drink it. I'd say the cigar you chose would put anybody in a good enough mood to make just about anything enjoyable.

Anyway, my whole reason for this post was to say that I might have to change my tag line to include "drink what you like and enjoy it."

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Great post Rev... I like to drink plain old beer and I can't tell you how often some ding dong starts giving me the business, it really is an almost daily conversation... anyway take care; drink, smoke and be merry...

It goes hand in hand with:

1. for (beer) instance... porters are porters and im sure there are two porters out there that might taste exactly the same. Lets assume we have two porters that are identically tasting.... but one is a well known porter and one is a microbrew from kalamazoo....but the person says they ONLY like the lesser known brand to sound like they have a deeper and more snobbish knowledge of the "underground" beer industry.

is that what you mean in essence?

Point number 2:

In terms of music the same can be had for people that like certain genres... People tend to try and find bands like the mainstream ones they like that are not well known in attempt to look as if they are deeper into the music scene...


did i confuse people? does anybody agree with me?

Makes complete sense to me.

I've been getting into stouts a lot lately myself, and trying to find all kinds of good ones, and have been able to try several new ones, and found some that I really like. While I like these full bodies, full flavored beers, Miller Lite will work for me also. There's a time and place for each beer (and cigar). For example, I don't think you'd be smoking a Cohiba Sublime or something rare while moving the lawn or raking the leaves in the fall.

But ultimately...to each his own. Drink and smoke what you like.

Damn good pair right here! Boulevard Seeyoulater Dopplebock aged on cedar and a Kendall 7-20-4. I highly recommend this beer if you can find it. I think it would pair extreamly well with just about any cigar!!!

speaking of which, i was at a local Meijer and saw this... thought it was ironically funny...

Old Pulteney scotch and an old La Corona.

The sampler came with the glass, it just showed up at the stores for the holidays. You get one of each plus the glass




Oh and the pairing above was a perfect match
