Good choice. I like a solid dark beer as well. Can't go wrong with Guinness.
Rootbeer is one of my favorite pairing with a cigar.
I have a hard time with the whole "acquired tastes" thing - if you try a drink you don't like, you should drink more of it???
Well I enjoy beer and wine, but when I first tried them, both left me with the sour puss face. After sometime I started to really appreciate the taste and today I drink both like water. The same applies to scotch/whiskey/bourbon; I whiskey face no matter how good the quality (and I'm talking about Jonnie Walker Blue Label). I am hoping it will be a similar learning curve like it was with beer and red wine.
Fair enough, and well said... and, I suppose that my taste in cigars was acquired over time...
Thank you. No never tried it. I'm exposing myself to whiskey/scotch/bourbon tastings before I commit to buying a bottle, I made the mistake of buying a bottle of Avion Tequila ($70) thinking I would love it. (after seeing it advertised as "smooth" on Entourage) Lets just say that after taking a shot with my friends, the only word we could think of was "Paint thinner" LOL. I ended up giving it away to a friend on his birthday.
Oh no, there are some smooooth tequilas. Maybe not mainstream American ones but they're out thereMy experiences with tequila, many years ago, were enough for me to conclude that it doesn't matter how much you spend on it, as the end result is always the same...
