It's been a warm Easter Day here in Minneapolis, so I smoked my first cigar of the spring, a LHDM des Dieux. Very nice, a good way to start the "cigar smoking season." Had a Sierra Nevada Kellerweis Hefeweizen with it, spent a nice hour or so on the patio.

The cigar was gifted from Hotreds, the ashtray from Hal, and the beer from my son. All while brewing an Imperial IPA yesterday during "Operation CohiBrew!" It was my first Cohiba, so I started with drinking just water, but my son pulled out the Lagunita's which was his first "legal" purchase last month. ;) So I paired it up and the two went surprisingly well together. The malt character & fruitiness of the beer really came out. All in all, a great day!

I've had 2 bottles of the Nemesis (at $5 per!) and won't be buying anymore. It was okay, but nothing noteworthy. :2

The Bell's Octoberfest, on the other hand, is an awesome beer--so far, my favorite fall seasonal. Beats the pants off Sam Adams Oktoberfest

Thanks! I'm sure the Octoberfest will be available around here. I'll definitely give that a shot, and if I found some Nemesis, maybe that, too.

[Wanger]

Tonights pairing is interesting, yet tasty. A Wells Banana Bread beer with a LGC MdO #3. Quite the tasty pencils. :D

Getting much better, I had one fresh now this one. I will probably let the others sit for quite a while but it definitely has improved.

I kept it in cold storage for a year and it was very tasty with plenty of yummy fall spices!!!

Thanks Bro!!!

BTW: My aging experiments are going very well. I had a SN Estate Harvest Ale from 2009 last night and it had changed in complexity! It lost a lot of the hoppiness and became very sweet and kind of fruity.

I believe they created that series to be aged and drunk as one sampling of the 12 years (2000-2012) but no way I have that kind of patience (not to mention I was 17 when the first batch was released:D). I drank an '06 in tandem with an '09 and my gutter palette couldn't tell the difference...both good :tu

[mariogolbee]

These two complemented each other perfectly. The root beer started off stronger than the Monte A but then the Monte A ended up overpowering the root beer. The finish on each sip of the soda was very long and complemented the cigar as much as the long finish on the cigar did the soda. This was a wonderful combo.

Found a new rum at the store from Venezuela. Was a staff pick and $20 for a bottle so what the hell. Nice and smooth with just a hint of heat at the finish. Goes well with a nice medium cigar on a hot afternoon day with warm sea breezes.

Mike, sorry to hear about your friend!:(

Looks like a good way to celebrate the life of your friend!:tu

Thanks, Darrell. He was one of the founding members of the MPLS/St. Paul group on Cigar Family. Taken a few years ago in a car accident. May 1st was a day that he celebrated his father with rum and an 858 sungrown, and now on Cigar Family, we celebrate him.

RIP, Waliguy.

Since it is the END OF DAYS very soon I took advantage of the nice day. Cut the lawn then kicked back with my smoking buddy Tango my Shetland Sheep dog.

Appleton Reserve and Apple juice with a Tat series P.

Not normally into pairing cigars with wine, but this Bogle Phantom was fat and juicy, and the Hoyo du Roi I paired it with was raisin sweet with some nice spice. Worked out pretty well!

Edit: if anyone could tell me (forum noob) why the photos I post come out so small I would appreciate it.
