THIS is the correct way!

I've considered a pipe. My grandfather smoked a pipe and I was given one when he died 35 years ago. I've always wanted to smoke it occasionally to honor him.

Now this is the way to brew:

Big fan of cigars, but bigger fan of pipes. This is some GL Pease Stratford tobacco in my Savinelli.

Nice!

I was actually telling my mom that I want a pipe just today. I can remember my grandfather smoking one. I like the aromatics that come from pipe tobacco..

A nice combo are the cigars made with pipe tobacco. You get the great aromatics that way too.

Do you roll these yourself, or is this something I can buy? Do you have any commercial examples?

 

[paithian]

The best pipe tobacco cigars are black and milds

I don't remember exactly what they are called, but Thompson Cigars carries some that get very good ratings.

Love me a good cigar, but my father's day present to myself this year?

It's Phase I to becoming either a wise or a crotchety old man.

Very nice pipe!

If you come across a San Lotano...get one! The Maduros are excellent!

I LOVE cigars, but I cannot smoke because it took me FOREVER to break the nicotine addiction... You people enjoy, tho, I do understand the appeal!

Padron and a glass of Blue Moon Clone.

I'm not brewing or drinking beer today, but I'm enjoying a Maria Guerrero that a good friend gave me with some Makers Mark..

I wish I could find Pliny here!

 

[Stauffbier]

Thanks Friend! You know who you are!

 

[wubears71]

A face with a Pliny! That's a nice combo. I have an unopened box of faces in the humi and your pic makes me want one. Maybe I'll find it today.

Yesterday I discovered I liked my cigar better with whiskey than beer, but I enjoyed both!

No smoking with beer for me. Whiskey (scotch, bourbon, whatever) goes much better with a pipe or cigar in my book.

Now this is the way to brew:

Big fan of cigars, but bigger fan of pipes. This is some GL Pease Stratford tobacco in my Savinelli.

Pease makes some great blends. I particularly like Westminster.

A nice combo are the cigars made with pipe tobacco. You get the great aromatics that way too.

There are also pipe blends made with cigar tobacco.

For cigars, I really like 5 Vegas A and Miami. I got a sampler on cigarbid of 5 miami, 5 A, 5 classic, and 5 Gold for $40. I wish I would have gotten more. They are solid for the price. I really like pipes, though. I have pounds and pounds of tobacco cellared and aging. I really like English blends in the fall/winter and Viginia/Perique in the spring and summer. I'm trying to get into lakeland aromatics, too, but they're so expensive!

2006 Padilla Corojo on a hot afternoon. I'm really liking this one!

Brewing my Independence Day Stout whilst enjoying a Warsteiner Dunkel clone and a CI Anniversary...

 

[BrewinHooligan]

You sir, have me very jealous. I am stuck at work although I volunteered and am getting paid double time and a half to sit here and play on HBT. I would much rather be brewing and enjoying a cigar. How do you like the Anniversary? I have always wanted to try that one but never have.

 

[Stauffbier]

Double time pay is always a plus. Especially if you can put the money towards brewing!
The Anniversary was a really nice smoke! Mild, not sweet, easy draw... I recommend it!

I decided on a spontaneous, last minute 4 gallon BIAB Amber today. I decided to smoke a Padilla Edicion Especial 2006 with my homebrewed White Pepper Saison. The spicey taste of the saison pairs really nice with cigars, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Padilla. It was a little to bold and robust for my tastes...
Cheers!

Sorry friend, but this link won't open for me...

Damn... I forgot about this thread and didn't take a picture. Not brewing right now, but I'm sitting on the balcony enjoying some homemade absinthe and a Romeo y Julieta Medallas de Oro Vintage Maduro.

Wow, homemade Absinthe!? That's interesting. I can't stomach Absinthe. I just can't do anise flavor. I've heard there are varieties that don't taste that way. I'd be willing to try it, if they do!

How do you like the Romeo y Julieta? I have one on standby....

 

[Airborneguy]

It's very nice... much smoother than I expected with such a dark, oily wrapper. A nice easy pull, dark cherries with a peppery finish and thick smoke. Absinthe is definitely not the best pairing with any cigar, but this stuff is harsh so I was actually hoping the R&J would overpower it. I didn't make it by the way. Look up Bottlebomber if you want to get your hands on some.

Thanks for the review on the cigar! Sounds great! I'm looking forward to mine!
I'll have to pass on the absinthe, though! I had a crazy, bad experience with that stuff and a crazy woman one night. It's fun once! I actually own absinthe glasses, spoons, and special sugar cubes, but that's because I collect stuff like that...
