has anyone really gave this a go? My first thoughts would be... no but the more i think about it the more i convince myself, that this could work.

due to my work ( fine dinning waiter) i've come to love wine. But i can't picture a good glass coughbottlecough of wine going well with a cigar.

I feel like white wines wouldn't work with a mellow cigar because the more crisp fruity flavors wouldn't blend well with a more mild/mellow cigar and would just over power it. For red wines i feel like they would definitely be too bold for a mild/mellow cigar but with a more full bodied heavier cigar the flavor profiles would be polar opposites and wouldn't combine well. I could see a more fruity/floral merlot going well with a san cristobal but thats the only pair i could think of that MIGHT work.
