Cigars and Beer...whatcha like?

[gonefishin]

Ok all you beer lovers and cigar smokers...what gets you taste buds goin'?

 

[ProAc_Fan]

Well for beer it's gotta be Sleemans Honey Brown Lager or Rickard's Red Ale. I've never smoked a cigar before. I don't understand the concept of not inhaling it. If you're not inhaling,what the hell is the point?

As for beer I love a good Russian Tinkov which is very good and under 2 bucks a bottle. If I am feeling frisky then the lowest alchohol content Chimay ale is the ticket at a hefty 8 bucks or so a bottle, of course lowest alchohol is still a stout 7.5 or so. If it is domestic poker night then I prefer Coors Light or Black Star ale..good and cheap.
As for cigars, I don't really smoke them, though I used to enjoy a pack of Swisher Sweets quite often when I was in the service.

Hmm,

German Elephant-beer a sixpack makes you rock all night long !

I don't drink, but I have enjoyed a fine cigar now and then.
Back a few years ago, when cigars were all the rage, whenever I went down to KC to visit my bro & sis-in-law, we would hit a local tobaccy shop for some good smokes.

Cigars I don't really care for.

As for brew, my two favorite brands are YOURS & MORE!

 

[Variable]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Sapporo.

Partagas Robusto, Macanudo Hyde Park, or Arturo Fuente Short Story. All fairly cheap and easy to find.

 

[gonefishin]

Some of my favorite beers Goose Island, Sam Adams, Pete's Wicked Ale, Samuel Smith, Sierra Nevada and Bud



Cigars...it's puzzeling...because as much as I enjoy a good beer...I prefer to have a cigar with a nice cup of coffee.

Arturo Fuenté (especially the Hemingway classics)

Macanudo Robust cigars

Padron Cigars (I've recently had one of their 1964 series and also...one of their almost impossible to find/get/buy 1927 series...both unbelievable!)

There are certainly many others...but those are what i like to keep on hand.

I have to jump on the Goose Island as well, great beer. But my fav would have to be Grolsch.

Not a big cigar smoker, but I think cigars seem to go better with a nice single malt- I hardly ever have either

Black and tan, with Guiness and Bass, and a Cohiba.:beer:

No real favorite beer, well maybe Red Hook IPA.
Mendicino cigars!

Not much of a beer drinker. I do enjoy a good cigar with some single malt though. I pick up Cohibas when I travel, but usually buy Macanudo in the States. For a nice lite smoke I really like Dunhills.

 

[Toasted Almond]

Lucky Strike non-filters
Gosling's Black Seal Rum
Ice

:lmao: grump...I would have guessed that



Does anyone drink a double or triple bock?

When the wife and I went to Maine they had a small brewery there, that had a Blueberry ale...where they used the actual sugars from the blueberry's for the fermenting process.

Whatever is on sale, but no Bud ( to filling makes me bloated) or el cheapo beers like Milwaukees beast or Natty Light, usually mid level beers like busch, coors, red dog, Ice House ect. I don't drink beer during the hot months though cuz of the smell of old beer at work ( I manage a redemption center) so the smell of beer at all makes me a little uke: Just hard liquor during the warm months for me

For cigars if I get the urge during some poker it's swisher sweets.

I'm with Thor here on this one! Going to college in western NY, all we could drink at the campus pub was Bud, or Genny Cream Aleuke: or the local Topperuke: uke: hey - $1.25/pitcher!!! el cheapo beers are the pits. Oh, can't forget Schmidts - $1.85/6pk hmmmmm!
For me it's Sierra Nevada's and when I can, my bud brings me Red Dogs from Canada.

Thor

What no tequila for you big guy ? :stupid:

 

[THOR]

Not anymore I was a wuss too, absolutely have to have the lemon/lime, the salt thing? Only good for body shots

The one exception I found with cheap beers is Old Milwaukee in the bar bottle, man that's some good stuff, gotta be the bar bottle.

Recently the Shaw's grocery stores in town had a sale of Milwaukee's Beast - $2.99 a 12 pack, the homeless and alchoholics in town were jazzed lemme tell ya, they had what had to be 1000's of 12 packs stacked to the ceiling at both stores and they sold out before the week was out. They then then followed up with a sale of Busch 30packs @ $8.99 each I think some people are still drunk from those two sales :
