That being said, I usually pair my cigars with two fingers of Havana Club (Barrel Proof) rum or a nice old Rhum agricole Clément from Martinique. Cheers! Hi Teresa,

I’ve been following your posts recently and, living in Belgium myself, I can only enjoy the cigar-beer pairings. That being said, I usually pair my cigars with two fingers of Havana Club (Barrel Proof) rum or a nice old Rhum agricole Clément from Martinique. Cheers!

Coffee is always wonderful as well, though I must admit I enjoy a nice Cuban espresso which never makes the length of the cigar, ha. I haven't tried the Left Hand Milk Stout, though I know I've enjoyed Young's Double Chocolate stout on many occasions. I'll have to give that a taste. This pairing for the video was pure chance and I must say I enjoyed the results. It was going to be a hit or a miss and it was a pleasant surprise. Definitely put me in the Christmas spirit, too.

Just kidding of course they are excellent! I too think coffee is my first choice when smoking a Serie V. Vizcaya Rum would be my second choice. And if I am in the mood for a beer I think a Left Hand Milk Stout or a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout would be my choice to go with a Serie V. Oliva Serie V… are those cigars any good?

I love trying pairings out with cigars and beer is a favorite of mine to pair. (Port is too if you want to give it a thought as well, a nice tawny port with a padron is a favorite of mine). I tend to be very fond of Belgian ales, though I will say Kostritzer is a German beer I admire for its crisp light texture but flavorful beer (it looks like a Guiness at sight but nowhere near the thick texture of one). I try to go with a lighter style beer (like a grand cru) for my milder cigars, and get more adventurous with my more medium to full bodied cigars on the various beers, since I know they can handle them better. I never want to overpower my cigar, only compliment it. Let me know what you try and what your thoughts are, I would love to hear your experiences! Awesome!

I was wondering if you will be posting more information on beers that go well with cigars. I don't drink often but when I do I drink beer. After I read the above comments I checked my cigar binder. Sure enough, I entered the Chimay Blue Reserve and the ST. Bernardus as two brews I want to try with a cigar. These two beers were reviewed last month on another site. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. I have a two week Winter Break coming up so I will have time to experiment. ~love and gratitude~ Greetings!

I think it has a lot of options for great pairings, and this one was a welcoming treat. Another to consider would be the St. Sebastiaan Dark or one of my personal favorites, the Chimay Blue Reserve. xx One of my favorites, too, Cigar Inspector!

Could be an interesting mix, but definitely in the season's spirit. Roasting marshmallows over the fire always makes me think of this time of year, too. A little Christmas spice in the coffee might be nice too, cinnamon and nutmeg maybe. Welcome, Jacob! What great timing, and I look forward to you enjoying your Oliva Serie V. If you are looking for some more full flavors I think you will be delighted. Let me know your thoughts- have a great one! xx Ooh, I do love eggnog!
