Centennial Hops + Infused Tobacco = Awesome Cigar?!

Lo & behold, our brew-buddy Matt scored some of these for yesterday's Brewherf with icantbejon

My brief review:

Quality construction. Good Dominican tobacco.

That's about it.

No hop flavor. No hop aroma. Nothing really "infused" about it. Occasionally I would get some sweetness and maybe a citrus/herbal note that might have been similar to Centennial. But that's a stretch. I even paired it with 3 different beers, including an IPA, Pilsner, and a Kolsch-Smoked Oktoberfest mix mash, just to see if I could bring out the hop-ness. It paired well, but again: nothing.

Glad I had a chance to give this a go.
