Hmmm...I like IPA, I like cigars. Damn it, I think this will end up eating at me until I try one

I helped create the Beer Judging Style Guidelines for the American IPAs. If I get my grubby little hands on some, I'll make sure you get a sample. After I'm done gloating, that is.

Er Hops, not Beer flavored.
Hope this doesn't appear presumptive:
If your beer consumption is limited to Bud/Miller/Coors, you have yet to experience hops.

Isn't it easier to just have a beer with your cigar? This just seems a little too gimmicky to me. I am a big bourbon fan as well but still haven't tried the makers mark cigars. I love hoppy beers but will leave these for the lovers of acid and other flavoured cigars.

Did not mean to insult... I love hops and would like to try that combination, first with a beer hopped with Centennial, to see if the pairing was yummy, then try beers with different hops. Dunno if it's a great cigar, but I wanna try it with beer.
I do like certain Single-Malt Scotch and single barrel bourbons, with gars, tho.

I don't take offence to much. Just kinda trying to explain my point. I have never had luck with any infused cigars. I know beer has come a long ways since the german purity laws but many of my favourites are still pretty close to those laws. My cigars unfortunately
have to fall into the rules of nothing but tobacco. If there did happen to be a bunch of glowing reviews I $ight seek one out but until that happens I will let that one slip away.

I've only had liuck with one infused. The reset tasted artificial and were cloyingly sweet. It was a Olivero chocolate short lady, and I bought it so I could snag the empty box. I did fully expect to hate it, and was pleasantly surprised.

I'm someone that does not like the taste of hop bitterness with a cigar. So I think that hops infused into a cigar sounds terrible. No thanks I'll pass. If I want hop aroma I'll grab some out of the freezer. If I want a cigar I'll go to my humidor. I wouldn't make cigar flavored beer and wouldn't make a beer flavored cigar.
Sounds like a terrible idea....

I am not a hophead but it's still has my interest piqued a bit.

Thanks for all of your thoughts regarding our new HOPZ Cigar. We wanted to clarify that, as with all of our cigars, HOPZ is aromatically seasoned. The cigar is not infused, sprayed, dipped, or injected. Our unique process subtly imparts the aroma and flavor of Centennial hops into the cigar without ever coming in contact with the cigar. Thanks, again, for your comments.

Amen to that my brother! :thumbsup:
So does that mean that there is no flavor or bitterness imparted on the cigar? That doesn't sound too terrible but I still think it's a bit weird. Centennial is a seriously citrusy hop, almost grapefruit like. Is any of the flavor of the Centennial imparted on the tobacco or is it just aroma? If it's just aroma then it might not be as bad as I originally thought.
