LeafLover Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 So, I'm conversing back and forth with BrutustheBuckeye on the shoutbox and I pose the question what he is smoking tonight. I'm often faced with the dilemma of what I will be smoking after a certain meal. Remember the scene in City Slickers when the two ice cream makers are having a conversation of what ice cream goes well with certain meals? I'm often having that same scene in my mind when choosing the cigar to smoke after what I will eat. Tonight, I'm having chinese food so I'm thinking of a habano with fuller flavor and fuller body after. What cigars have you all found satisfying after a certain meal? i.e. fish and asparagus, steak and potatoes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It's not a meal, but I love a Sig I with a cup of coffee on a Sunday afternoon... How about a Mojito and a JL2...heaven. Steak (thick cut, grilled with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, medium rare) puts me in the mood for a Dip 2. Any meal : and a Mag 46 will fit in fine!

matt14 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Would depend on how much I have eaten stuffed to the gills, or as my ex use to say the beauty in eating is to eat to 80%, personally think she was talking S#%*. Heavy meal I would go for a robusto/ churchill maybe RASS, D4 something lighter would maybe BCE maybe a Party short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Funny. I've never smoked after a meal. But I have smoked with a meal and found it very enjoyable if not a little awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Went for a PLPC after the chinese food. The creaminess of the cigar with it's nellow yet flavorful notes of burnt caranel and espresso was a nice reprieve from the heavy sauces of the neal.

CanuckSARTech Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Steak (thick cut, grilled with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, medium rare) puts me in the mood for a Dip 2.Any meal : and a Mag 46 will fit in fine! Spot on with both of those, M. I'd only add grilled asparagus with garlic butter, and then grilled corn-on-the-cob also, with that steak dinner preceeding the Dip 2. Spot on. Funny. I've never smoked after a meal. Dude. Try it - perfect. I like to get things cleaned up a bit, give it a 1/2 hour to an hour after dinner, get a fresh round of drinks or eight, and then settle in for a nice nightcap of a cigar.

I, too, don't smoke after an evening meal. She-who-must-be-obeyed forbids it (not surprisingly, as it aggravates her asthma). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Unless what I've eaten subliminally affects how I think, it has no bearing on what cigar I might choose to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martindelmundo Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I, too, don't smoke after an evening meal. She-who-must-be-obeyed forbids it (not surprisingly, as it aggravates her asthma). I as well listen to " She-who-must-be-obeyed" But I only smoke after dinner or better said after the kids are sleeping because my aroma after the cigar bothers thier asthma. Damn her The-one-known-as-she-who-musted-be-obyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I usually don't smoke before noon, but if I were to smoke somthing after breakfast it would be a minuto or petit corona. Lunch would likely be a larger vitola, and post dinner, larger still as there is more down time to enjoy a bigger smoke. Keeping this list to current production smokes, my choices would be the following... Light Breakfast - Romeo y Julieta Cedros DeLuxe No. 3 Medium Breakfast - San Cristobal de La Haban El Principe Heavy Breakfast - Partagas Short Light Lunch - El Rey Mundo Choix Supreme Medium Lunch - Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Des Dieux Heavy Lunch - Partagas 898V Light Afternoon Coffee - Por Larranaga Petit Corona Medium Afternoon Coffee - Diplomatico No. 2 Heavy Afternoon Coffee - Cohiba Robusto Light Dinner - Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona Medium Dinner - Cohiba Esplendido Heavy Dinner - Partagas Lusitania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
