Bitter pallate?

I don't have luck pairing a hoppy beer with a cigar. The pleasant bitterness of the hops just seems to overpower the cigar. So now I stick with water or a sweeter drink - Coke Zero, rum and coke, bourbon, home-brewed stout, and occasionally Scotch or Irish whiskey.

i don't like pairing beer with cigars. if i do drink a beer, light beers taste best to me when smoking. To me a coors light or an amstel light seems to taste better than a craft beer in that instance. Probably because they are mostly water anyway. LOL

i have tried the soda thing, and that doesn't do it for me either.

Lightly sweetened tea is my go to non alcoholic drink for cigars. i drink bourbon with them the other 95% of the time.

hope your taste buds go back to normal lol
