Always ask. We love answering questions around here. Plus, if you don't ask, how will you find out :dunno:

I do the above except I use a control. You used water, I use coke with bourbon. ok, mostly good bourbon then.

Screw em. I was a bartender in college. People drink what they want

Thanks for the great post. One thing I can add is to try to cleanse your palate before smoking...meaning try to get the taste of previous cigars / food / drink out of your mouth before trying another cigar. Wine tasters recommend bread, and i like to use seltzer water (basically just carbonated water, not club soda)

 

[GatorMike]

Thanks, I will try using all those techniques.

 

[JRL]

Thanks I had no idea to slow down, guess I have lots to learn

If you're looking for an interesting pairing, I've found that Dr. Pepper is better than most other soft drinks with cigars. I think it is because it has a little spicy-tingle to it. Try that the next time you have a cigar with a peppery flavor. I like it with a Camacho Coyolar or if I could have cubans, I'd like it with a Romey y Julieta Short Churchill.

nice post!

as for me, i am learning to distinguish flavors easier but still have problems for some. i can pick out leather easily enough and chocolate but im still "refining"

I too prefer Dr. pepper with my cigars many times. More so with medium to full bodied smokes rather than lighter cigars, but it generally makes for a great combination. Now given the option of a single malt or Dr. pepper Im going single malt, but for the price DP is nice!
