Right on.
I wouldn't have thought it would work either, but it seems a logical extension of drink-smoke to eat-drink-smoke.
Sounds yummy! I wonder if the richness of the dressing and the eggs facilitated the pairing?
That's pretty sweet. I find that eating something really sweet diminishes the perception of sweetness of anything less sweet that I'm having with it. Likewise for tartness, bitterness. Not so much for saltiness for some reason.I think Snickers is the best for all sweet cigars, last time I ate it with 5 Vegas 'A' and it was delecious conection!

The Mpls/St. Paul crew get together at least once a summer now for the Beef & Boli dinners. We reserve the patio at a 5 star steakhouse in NE Mpls, and smoke/eat/drink like fiends!
At the first one I went to I was hesitant at first, eating a super expensive amazing steak (Filet Mignon) and smoking at the same time. But you would all be amazed at how well aged Bolivars go with good steaks!
Good stuff!

I think we might have a picture of Loren and Cory doing this during the Padron Dinner! Hell, I think Loren has two or three cigars lit at the same time!
To me eating is it's own thing! Smoking and drinking are hand in hand, a lot of times I can't do one without the other! I've done all three at the same time and never really found any magic in it.
To each his own :thumbs:

Sounds like something to try next time the grill gets fired up.

Hmm, I may have to try that now. I have snacked while smoking...if I wasn't enamored by the cigar, but never a full meal...and I also love Negra Modelo.

Not often but I also enjoy the combo when I get the chance. A friend of mine is throwing his once annual bbq/beerbust this coming Saturday. I'll be smoking, eating, drinking and loving every minute of it. I find the richer more full bodied smokes go well with beer and bbq'd vittles. Esplendidos, Lanceros and RyJ Churchills are some of my favorite mealtime cigars.

Eating and smoking cigars seem like two separate events to me. I think doing the two together would be distracting. Sort of like trying to read a book while having sex. JMHO.

I usually don't mix the two. But a couple weeks back, as I was heading out for my lunch break with a Short Story, a couple of the supervisors invited me out to lunch with them. I went, figuring the best lunch is a free lunch, and off we went to a nice restaurant down by the water.
Sat down, lit up, and ordered a Sam Summer Ale and a plate of raw little necks. I figured with all the hot food everyone else was ordering, it would be a little while, and I'd have plenty of time for my smoke.
Well, I was wrong, and the food came real fast, and there was way too much left of a great smoke to put down. So, I kept smoking while I ate my lunch. And I'm glad I did.

I was in D 3/60 in Bamberg in the late 80s. Never could get into the Rauch beer though, not my thing.

Wilkey,
I think it was the creamyness that acuentuates the smoking experience. So it was the cheese and the dressing that did this. But the smoky bacom really helped bring it all together!

I just had to save this one!
I'm intrigued! What sushi do you like with your cigars? And do you drink sake along with it? If so, hot or cold?
