Food and drink that go with cigars..... For me.

[CigarStone]

I have always had a low nicotine tolerance, some asshats like @jfields have even called me a pussy. I have recently noticed very strong flavors in food or drink, seem to make a cigar taste better. It may also help with nicotine. While a full stomach, or a teaspoon of sugar, never made a difference for me, it seems that the strong flavors do.

@EmergenCigar and I have had a couple opportunities to have very bold Cabernet and/or also some very strong cheese while smoking a cigar and the bold flavors of the cheese or wine seems to mellow out any harshness of the cigar.

Something like a Roquefort, or Parmesan, seem to be a great compliment to a good cigar.

I would recommend a Port wine. It's thicker like you mentioned so it'll cut down a lot of the harsh bitterness. Just don't spill it on your blouse or it'll stain really bad.

I don’t remember that? Sure you’re not thinking of that big, tall, and strong lumberjack of a man Rob @mysterea?

You and Jim called me a pussy when I said I couldn't smoke a strong cigar indoors. Rob was quite the lumber jack! I'm not sure if I've ever seen that level of coordination before or since

I really enjoy spirits and food, but if I'm smoking a very fine cigar, one I may not get another of, my beverage is cold, clear water. Let's the taste of the smoke shine through without interruption.

Tom, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that I simply need to smoke finer cigars.
