I really hope this isn't a trend. Nothing says aroma-death like cigar smoke. Here! Ruin your palate with hot smoke and then try to taste the complexities of this beer!

Bleh.

Dont ya just love people from CA?

If this wasn't so far away I would go

There's a cigar and beer bar here with a really great tap list. Sure, you have to smoke on their patio, but I still won't go. The aromas carry in with people, and it is just distracting to me. I know I'm a snob, though, so not everyone is looking for the same experience in drinking that I am.

I'm not going for the cigars, but I will smoke one on very rare occasions.

A friend of a friend is one of the organizers, when I get more information I will update here.

Why in Jackson??? I'm not going to drive back from a beer fest in Jackson to Memphis. And adding cigars doesn't make me anymore likely to go, for sure. Weird...

Ooh! I hope someone brings this to the Hot!
I love a cigar almost as much as I love a beer.
When I'm shopping for a cigar, I usually ask what pairs best with what I'm planning on drinking.
Talk about flavor complexity.
Mmm.

Bleh.

I agree. Very few beers can stand up to a cigar in my opinion.

Well, I will be driving back to Lakeland, unless I can con SWMBO into driving me.

Nothing like tearing down I40 with a load on!

I'm mostly going to check stuff out.
