Punch 48 - Asahi Super Dry Beer - ‘Havana Requiem’

I'm sure we all have a favourite place, or two, to enjoy a cigar. Personally, I have two.

The first is the deck at Waddy Lodge on Fraser Island, but as we only take the fishing trip for one week a year, it is a rare privilege. 

The second is the family beach shack at Hastings Point in northern NSW. 

The place has family history. Before I was born, the folks were coming down here. Dad was an extremely keen fisherman, and an exceptional one – I've still not seen better. Sadly, I am not in his class. There was an old shack on the headland if you could struggle through the sand tracks – remembering that in those days... continue to full article.

just had a re-read. fair point. perhaps a touch generous. a 'standard, okay cigar' i guess should be around the 86 to 88? at least that is where i'd place it. perhaps i was just happy to have a chance to relax and have a read.

The super dry is a kind of ordinary and balanced beer for dinner. There're some relatively expensive beer like Premium malts and Ebisu.

The Asahi forces on dryness though, The malts does on creaminess and mildness. I don't have experience with the Ebisu. 

Anyway, I don't think Japanese beers match well with cigars. Those are created as with meals mainly rice.
