Post Subject: Lagavulin etcPosted by de charlus on: 7/28/2013

Lagavulin would overwhelm just about anything, as you suggest, but really old brandies can work well in my experience. I tend to avoid Dominican cigars as a matter of principle; it's not that they're all awful, just that better cigars may easily be found. I have enjoyed some H. Uppman cigars in the past, although Punch are not among my favorites; perhaps age is what they need, because i found the last few I smoked to be a little rough and monolithic in terms of flavor profile, certainly something that time could ameliorate. If I'm approaching cigar smoking like a wine tasting - in studious terms, in other words; this is something that I do have cause to do from time to time, since I like to see how my "cellared" cigars are progressing - then I agree with you about muddling the flavors, but in terms of hedonism, in which I engage far more regularly, I like to enjoy tobacco and brandies together; the experience is just lovely, even if I don't perceive every last detail of every last aroma and flavor.

I shall certainly look at the book you mentioned; I had not yet come across it.
