    Default Pairing one cigar with another?

    A herfing buddy of mine suggested pairing one cigar with another. In other words, if you're planning to have more than one, choosing them to go together.

    He suggested I try a Romeo y Julieta Viejo followed by an Oliveros 1927. I plan to do this one evening and write a review about it. Anyone else ever considered pairing cigars to compliment each other?

    I have not deliberately paired two cigars but have many times smoked two in a row or at least within a few hours of each other. Usually because I was dissatisfied with the first or if is a weekend I smoke 2 or 3 in a day.
    Anyway, to address your question, I think some thoughts and planning on pairing is a good idea. Personnally I would choose a Connecticut or other natural for the first followed with a medium to full Corojo or Brazil. I would always go from mild/medium to medium/full.
    Of course if your first choice was a dud, let's say a Manolete, then almost anything would taste good afterward.
    While it's not exactly pairing, on a weeked I will usually choose a milder smoke for mornings and something with a little body for afternoons or evenings.
    I'll leave brand specific pairing to the pros.
