Show a picture of a great pair!!!
 
I'm a visual type of a person!!! I had a fantastic pair today and I thought... We should have a place to post photos of our pairings!!!

Today I had a perfect pair: La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial El Jocko Maduro and a Black Boss Porter (my first of this brand)!!!

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9568/blackboss01.jpg

The porter was off the hook as well as the cigar!!! The porter had an unsweetened licorice background with hints of coffee, and a smokey flavor!!! The cigar was all leather and coffee!!!

I agree. The admins have enough to do without having to keep close tabs on this. Keep it to smoke/beverage pairs.

On behalf of all the admins, I thank you.

Great idea!

I started the evening with a St. Bernardus and a 99 Boli CE (just the nub left for the picture)

Now its a Fat Tire paired with an 08 SCdlH El Principe

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...s/IMG_2434.jpg

Both pairings were/are excellent!

Fantastic idea for a thread! I find a nice smokey porter a great pairing for a cigar, as well as a full flavored stoudt (paired with a porter and/or a cigar ;)). I'll post some that I find especially pleasing. :tu

i like this pic because it's colorful and the cigar is also one of my favorite cigars (which apparently hardly anyone knows about)

Re: Show a picture of a great pair!!!
 
man SKYWALKER, I DO love a nice black broadleaf. Awesome shot.
But I have to give the prize to the Woodford Reserve and the Boli GM.
For the whiskey alone, never had the BGM. Got a few boxes, but I
can't just open one and smoke it. I have to wait. But how good is that
Woodford Reserve? MAN, I thought I had stopped at Wild Turkey-land
and settled in with my green card. But that WR gives any whiskey a run for it's money.

Montecristo 12 Year Aged Rum and a 5 Vegas Miami Torpedo!!! After three glasses of rum I couldn't tell you how the cigar tasted!!!;)

It was still over 90 degrees when I started drinking!!! Being thirsty... only leads to trouble!!!

The picture is crappy, but the pairing was not:

A RP Vintage 1990 with a Bell's Kalamazoo Stout

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...er/RPStout.jpg

I found this cigar in the bottom of my humi, one of the last from a purchase about 2 years ago. Was surprisingly peppery for a Vintage 1990, with the same woody finish and the nice chocolate, bread and leather tastes that I love about these. The sweet, roasty stout was an excellent compliment.
