Would cheese go with cigars?

irratebass · 08-25-2011, 01:31 PM

I just took a bite of some cheddar cheese and wondered if that would go well with cmokes or not? Anyone have any experience? I'm thinking I might try this.

Cheddar is pretty sharp/strong, you might want to start with something that won't overpower the cigar.

New, from Lars Tetens! The Limburger cheese sandwich cigar, featuring tobacco leaves smeared with REAL limburger cheese and brown mustard!

I would think it woulD ruin the taste of the cheese or vice versa. But what do I know.

Wisconsin Cheese Curds go excellent with cigars.

I have had fondue with cigars and it was FANTASTIC, the cheese compliments very well.

Laugh it up, Cheeseboy!

Seriously, Adam smokes cheeses and brings them to Herfs! They are delicious!!!

I'm not a big fan of eating ANYTHING whilst smoking, frankly.

You can eat and drink whatever you want with your cigars, so long as you like it.

If you're having a special cigar, or an inordinarily expensive one and you don't want to take anything away from the cigar, keep a clean palette.

I also don't really believe in eating while smoking, but to each his own and I just thought the cheese would go with a cigar.......I still might try it one of these days.

Been looking for an article I read several years ago to no avail...

The article talked about some upscale restaurants that offered a "dessert" menu to pair with cigars - specifically port wines, scotch, cordials, and cheeses! They touted the flavor of some stronger cheeses with cigars.

Sorry I can't find it - but I do sometimes enjoy some cheese with a cigar... or maybe peanuts or almonds. To each his own, right?
