I agree Ed. I often match up a good cigar with a good beer. Pete's Strawberry Blonde is a favorite of mine. It's a lighter beer, with a powerful aroma of strawberry's. I like German Beer every once in a while (Warsteiner, Bitburger). I tend to favor the darker beers. I find beer drinking and cigar smoking to have alot in common. I often pick up the taste of chocolate, vanilla, mallaces (sp?), fruitiness (is that a word?), etc of a good exotic beer. There's alot of good micro-brewed beers out there.- Rod
