So this is what I've just christened my shed with (check out my newbie intro post for more info on the shed!)
A Punch Petit Coronation with a large bottle of Innis and Gunn (6.6%). This was my first Punch cigar but by no means my first bottle of I&G. For those who have not tried it, it's quite a sweet beer with a lot of oak and toffee flavours.
I didn't take too long to match up this pair as the Punch was the only cigar I had and the I&G was the only decent beer I had!
I found the first third of the Punch to be ultra light, I could see a lot of smoke coming out of my mouth but it barley felt like there was any. Very smooth with lots of chocolate. The second third got more woody while keeping the chocolate and the flavour remained consistant after that.
I ended up enjoying this pairing a lot more than I thought I would and smoked the cuban right down to the nub although I can't help but feel that, for the price, there are more flavorful cigars I could get. Maybe it's just my newbie palate!
Edit: Doh! There was already a thread for today, sorry.
