The Perfect Pairing

[prophetic_joe]

I hope my poor attempt at humor does not place me in the ass wipe file

Not an ass wipe but an ill informed newbie perhaps. Everyone know that the perfect pairing is a well aged strawberry Swisher Sweet freshly pulled out a a horses rear end and orange Hi C.

In an attempt to completely hijack your thread, I wonder if we couldn't transform this thread into one where we share pairings we've experienced, good or bad.

This would distinguish itself from the "What did you smoke today" thread by identifying a quality pairing. Might even help if you mention what you liked about it:

For example, I had a Russell's Reserve 6 yr. Rye with a Padron '26 #9 Maddy. I was pleasantly surprised.
The Padron probably had a couple of years on it, as it was a bit milder in taste than I remember other anniversary Padron maduros. To tell the truth, I was worried the cigar would overpower the drink; however, they complimented each other well. The moderate mellowness of each worked very well with each other. Throw in perfect construction, a full bottle of the rye, and a J/Q of hearts, and and we have a nice evening.

Sounds like one hell of a good idea

Habanos Puros Fuerte & Yuengling Bock Beer.

The HPF had an excellent, but strong sweet tobacco / bitter oil balance going on, that hung long on the palate. The Bock cut it nicely, and finished it off with a decent carbonation sweetness. I dunno, I liked it YMMV.

Bumpin' and old thread but I had to.

Drink: Dogfish Head 120 IPA

Seriously, I almost Fresh Rolled Bobalu'd (FRB'd) myself. It was that awesome. I feel like I need a cigarette now.

Try it.
