The Last Cigar and the Last Plate

[El Presidente]

Your time was nigh and you had the chance to enjoy one final cigar and one final plate of protein, what would you choose? 

 

 

Simple parameters.

• Cigar
• Age of the cigar
• Protein
• How it is cooked
• What it is served with

 

Tough choice! 

 

[Capn_Jackson]

Bone-in filet mignon, rare. A few garlic butter seared sea scallops on the side. Simple baked potato with butter, salt, and pepper. Not wasting my last meal on greens. For desert, bread pudding with blackberry-whiskey sauce.

Afterwards, BBF, 8 or more years old.

[Garand]

Entrecote Medium-Rare with Shrimps, Baguette, Salad. 

Ramon Allones Gigantes: 5 Years old. 

In that order.

[ha_banos]

Crispy lamb souvla. With a simple Greek side salad drenched in traditional dressing. Pitta and tarama. Followed by apple crumble and custard.

And after... I'm in the mood for a rich Monte A to savour the moment. As it happens got a couple left 2018, so as good to go as any! With a sweet sherry finish cask strength Speyside.

 

 

 

[Duder]

OR Cohiba Esplendidos 

Glenfarclas 40

Beef Wellington Medium Rare

Baked Potato with butter, crème fraiche, extra sharp cheddar & bacon crumbles

Sautéed shrimp

Lobster Bisque

Banana Split with hot fudge

Yes, that’s the ticket

Mag 46 - 8 years minimum 

Rib steak - bone-in Angus beef grilled to Med/rare. It'll be accompanied by Thai chili glazed brussels sprouts and some garlic mashed potatoes with a few Oz of George T Stagg.

😋

Cheers!

[Chibearsv]

Cigar won’t change - Esplendidos any age over 5 years, has to come before the meal.  

For the meal, right now, a braised pot roast with carrots and potatoes, red wine sauce reduction and sourdough bread to sop it up sounds perfect. After dinner 7-10 year old BPC, you know, for dessert. 😁

[Chas.Alpha]

7+ Esplendido, as @Chibearsv said before the meal. Lamb/Goat. The whole thing, prepared “Indian hot” curry style. Basmati rice, naan. After I ate the entire animal, something light, a reisling and a BRC.

[Havanaaddict]

Filet mignon medium served with smashed sweet potatoes, accompanied by a 70's Punch Nectares No.2. By far the most unique and crazy flavors I have ever tasted!

[Ken Gargett]

black pudding followed freshly caught/grilled pearl perch and then by the havana dreams dessert from Can Roca.

With the 2002 Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs to kick off, before the 29 Romanee Conti, but if not available, 78 La Tache or 90 Romanee Conti. 

With Springsteen playing in the background as the Commanders win the superbowl. 

Hamlet DC, though definitely after the meal, with a 1931 Quinta do Noval. 

[Greenhorn2]

The way it's looking, I'll be having a bologna sandwich with grey poupon mustard garnished with some Great Value potato chips. Follow that up with a Vegueros.

You had to bring reality to the table. 🙄

Esplendido Gran Reserva and a 45 day dry aged tomahawk ribeye.

grey poupon

Might you have some?

[cnov]

A beautifully marbled thick rib eye, reverse seared on the BBQ, perfect medium-medium-rare with a great crust. Fresh zingy chimnichurri on the side. Chips and a simple tomato and onion salad. I'd probably even allow the family to be there on the patio in the garden as they're all steak lovers. 

I'm going to go with @ha_banos and go for a Monte A, never had the opportunity but it seems like the way to go out of it's a last. I'll have a stab at 7 years old if I must give an age. The family would not be allowed to be there. 

[SirVantes]

A seafood platter at my local seafood restaurant, washed down with a bottle of 2002 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. After that, I will finish things off with the best cigar ever made...a Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva Cosecha 2003! Who wants to join me?

[Mike Mecklenburg]

- La Escepcion Selectos Fino - 10 yrs +

- 40-day Dry-Aged Ribeye - Medium Rare with French Fries

 

[Ruggerpgh99]

This is, not really that hard to answer, oddly. 

1. Filet Mignon, Rooney Style, medium rare, Scalloped Potatoes and Roasted Brussels Sprouts

2. CoRo - 7+ years of age, paired with G4 Repo tequila. 

[NYGuido]

This is easy and it’s all about love and comfort. I’d eat a plate of chicken parmigiana cooked the way my grandmother made it, after which I’d smoke one last Sir Winston over 5 years old. I’d die a happy man. 

Now, I’d trade both of those for one last truly epic roll in the sheets.

Do we both go to meet our end or just you?

Appetizer would be bacon wrapped elk tenderloin on the BBQ, main dish is cedar plank coho salmon on the bbq with asparagus with garlic and butter and few fresh tomatoes from the garden.  As i cook i would enjoy a Bitburger German Pilsner and Guinness while I ate.  After supper would be a Monte 2 and a healthy dose of Red Breast 15 yr old.

[rcarlson]

Pretty decisive answers. I see there are a lot of death row inmates.  With exhausted appeals.  And plenty of time to think.
