5 word cigar name, must be good right?
Outside conditions: 60 degrees with slight southerly breeze (brrrrrr!)
Pairing: 2007 Stone Brewing Double Bastard Strong Ale (10% ABV)
Cutter/Torch: Vector double guillotine/Harbor Freight Micro
Occassion: In honor of what would have been Jimi Hendrix's 65th bday (or simply because I wanted to)
Rating: 4 out of 5 milkcrates
Alright, let's do this backwards, as after drinking the beer and smoking the cigar I'm feeling a little loopy
So this review should read the same!
Got ash? I wasn't being delicate, I even tapped it a few times and it didn't fall. Absolutely excellent firm construction with little give when squeezed. This is a heavy cigar weight wise. Even in it's small size, it feels about the same weight as a robusto/toro sized smoke.
This is where it decided to break into the full bodied world, still with zero spice, kinda odd but I loved it.
The cigar was reading my mind and decided to overtake the gargoyle beer, proving it's woody/leathery flavor was no match for the 10% ale.
hehe, you can still see the nipple hehehe. This beer is WAY too strong for this cigar. A hefeweizen or brown ale would have been a better choice, as the beer still dominates the flavor. Have to really space out the drinks to get descriptive flavors of this cigar.
Draw shows resistance, but not much, gobs of smoke even at this point, and solid medium flavor of pure tobacco with overtones of wood (cedar?)
Hey let's go outside! The wife's not home, the kid is in bed, and it's Tuesday. That's not a bad thing right? :chk
