Which of these cigars should I have with beer tonight?

[Joey Link]

I'm going to my bi-weekly BMW meet tonight and I'd like to try one of the cigars I got in a cheap sampler with my cheap humidor I need one that will pair well with a porter or stout and not offend the others around me *too* much haha. I smoked a 5 Vegas Gold a while back and my girlfriend who generally doesn't mind cigar smoke made me put it out. Here's the list:

1 - 5 Vegas Gold Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Fonseca Serie F Robusto (5" x 52)
1 - Gurkha Connecticut Reserve Robusto #4 (6" x 50)
1 - Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro Maduro (6" x 52)
1 - Perdomo Reserve Cameroon 'F' (4.75" x 56)
1 - Reserva Maxima Corona Maduro (6.5" x 46)
1 - Slow-Aged 826 by Perdomo Glorioso (6" x 52)
1 - Torano Exodus 1959 Toro (6" x 50)

Two questions:

You've got a BMW. Why have a cheap humidor?

Your girlfriend made you put it out?

[ColdCuts]

Having said that, what do your friends and/or girlfriend find offensive about one premium cigar over another premium cigar?

[cigar_joel]

What kind of beer are you drinking?

[ColdCuts]

Wait. I have a third question: Just how cheap was that sampler? Doesn't look too bad.

LOL

Cheap humidor cause I can't decide on what setup I want and don't want to drop the cash then change my mind. I'm thinking I'll probably go with a nice 150ct display then a cooler for capacity.

I was down to the last third of the stick and she wasn't feeling well. She's gorgeous, gives me BJ's anytime I ask, cleans my house, and doesn't complain much. Any questions?

I guess just the smell of that particular one. She's never complained about any other stick.

It's brewed here in town by Lucky Lab brewing. Amazing beer and it's $7.50/pitcher on Tightwad Tuesdays. I usually go for the porter, stout, or IPA.

That sampler runs $15 + shipping ($5) as long as you have the special link... which I have in here(item #4): http://www.stogieguys.com/2006/07/st...ampler-ii.html

Also I suggest the Fonseca. I had one last week with a beer (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I think) and it was a nice combination!

[cigar_joel]

If you are going with a full bodied beer i would say smoke a full bodied smoke you have.If the strength or your beer doesn't match the strength of your cigar, you are going to loose flavor from one. (IE, If you smoke the Torano '59 you might loose some flavor from the cigar if you drink a porter.) When i drink dark/full beers i love the JdN Antonio 1970. Mmmmmmm good. Have fun tonight.

Nope. No more questions. Carry on as you were.

I think i got the same kit $15 from CI. I had that 5 Vegas i thought it was garbage. The Gurkha was plugged. I thought the Fonseca tasted like an ashtray (if your girl didn't like the Cinco she's gonna hate the Fonseca). I am most excited for the Torano. The humidor was pretty cool for free! Gonna use it for travel.
