In Houston, you can either go to a local B&M that will let you BYO, or there's Downing Street Pub or the Smoke Inn. Both of those are still able to have smoking in their establishments.

And Guiness and cigars are always a good combination, IMO. Just not if you're trying to taste delicate flavors and nuances of change.

I'd smoke some full-flavored stuff. A Perdomo Habano Maduro would go GREAT with a pint of Guinness (actually, it dos go GREAT as I've made this pairing just this weekend.) It goes even better after a nice NY strip marinated in Jamison.

Being from the Bahamas I know guinness goes good with conch, but have yet to have it with a cigar. The guinness over there taste better than the stuff I get in the US though.

Also try Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Rogue Chocolate Stout, Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout.

All good with cigars!

Guinness would go great I think with a maduro. You should bone up on drinkin the stuff before you go, though, so your palate filters out the bitterness. I drink that stuff so much, it tastes like chocolate milk to me now.

But even if you don't get all the bitterness out, it should help to accentuate the sweetness of the cigar. Check out Rob's article on cigar-drink pairings for more on this line.

Keep in mind I LOVE guiness.

As far as your bottled Guiness imports, I find the "Extra Stout" to be a lot more bitter than the "Draught."

I personally wouldn't drink a stout with a cigar. I tried it the other night--Goose Island Oatmeal Stout and Oliva G Maduro. It was like the two cancelled each other out, and the flavor was diminished in both.

A pint of the black gold! I love that stuff. As other have stated, I also try to only smoke a maduro or full flavored cigar.

I saw a great shirt about Guinness, it read, " Guinness, the beer you've been drinking for."

Since I told my cousin we have Irish in us, he drinks a ton of it. I have to get him into fine cigars next.

I just called around to find some of this stuff. The reponse I get is that this is only available in the winter. Is that true?

[FoZzMaN-cl]

Crap - it is listed as a seasonal...

Damn, this thread has been tortuous. I started out thinking I might find some new combo of smokes and fine ales, stout, hefe's etc. But by the time I got to the end I am now salivating for a Warsteiner dunkel with a Gurkha Louie the 13th. Or a Paullaner double bock w/ a Monte #2... I can't stand it much more, I'm going to have to leave work early just so I can start drinkin' and smokin'

Has someone already created a thread w/ beer and smoke combos?
