Drink pairing = Artificial flavor?

KenyanSandBoa · 05-19-2010, 01:23 PM

I've noticed VERY different flavors depending on what I pair my cigars with. If it's the first time I'm trying a certain cigar, I usually stick with water. I try to get a true sense of what the flavors are in the cigar and then pair it with a drink for the next time I smoke.

I've noticed if I'm pairing with an alcohol, especially a strong alcohol, it will make my palate a little more sensitive to certain flavors and even mute others. I'll admit, I've had some misses...COMPLETE misses, but every once and a while I hit a combo that just really works for me.
