Odd pairings with a cigar.

replicant_argent · 02-03-2010, 10:10 AM

I had an overwhelming urge to have some smoked oysters with the DPG CC I had last night. I didn't have any, so I made do with pickled herring. The herring didn't go as well as I thought the oysters might have.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

WOW! never would've thought that would be a cigar pairing

Geez, we could have just had Bob or Darrell sent you a Cremosa, you'd have gotten fish and tobacco all in one.

I used to drink orange juice with some cigars, it really brings out different flavors, especially with maduros.

Actually had Oysters Rockefeller with a Cabinetta once, and it was the best Cabinetta I ever smoked. The Dark Lord had the same opinion that day.

Wow, interesting............

Maybe not that odd, but it was for me as I rarely eat and smoke, but at buddies house the other night for dinner and his wife made Monkey Bread, we took it outside and smoked cigars, paired well.

Dr. Pepper.

Fresca diet soda. nice citrus flavor cleanses the tastebuds between puffs.

I don't necessarily think this is odd, but I like to drink fountain Diet Coke whilst smoking a cigar. The taste is amazing. And I don't know why, because I HATE Diet Coke when I am not smoking.

theonlybear4CORT · 02-04-2010, 12:47 AM

Kahlua cigars and milk.

SinPena! · 03-03-2010, 09:48 PM

Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew..............

Ofcourse Rum or Cognac!

SinPena! · 03-03-2010, 10:29 PM

Church.........

Raw oysters have a nice touch of ocean and brine that would go well with an aged cigar.
I would smoke a Ninfas with a cold seafood platter along with a dry Champagne. Very indulgent to say the least.

kenstogie · 03-04-2010, 07:42 AM

Green Tea but that's not that odd I don't think.

1badhog07 · 03-04-2010, 07:50 AM

Just my taste buds,but i like a mcdonalds sweet ice tea with mine..

BeerAdvocate · 03-04-2010, 09:09 AM

Dr Pepper or Rootbeer goes great with just about any cigar!

Scottw · 03-04-2010, 09:50 AM

I had cranberry juice with a Hoyo Palma Extra and damn, it worked nicely.

Dr. Pepper is my default, but I think smoke oysters would work great with some cigars..
