Atypical for me to smoke more than more a day, but...
Having been drinking a hoppy pale I figured a more mild type smoke might work, and though not a great choice I didn't want to take a single to see if it paired well so chose a Cargo.
What I found was that it didn't clash too badly but did somewhat mute the hop flavor of my pale. But when I tried it with a Sierra Nevada pale it went well enough, which makes me wonder if it due to a lesser hop flavor or more bitter upfront.
Inquiring mind wants to know about a cigar that doesn't clash with a paler beer, and especially a hoppy IPA.
*EDIT*
Just realized I posted in the wrong place...

Did the scotch smooth it out though?Originally Posted by Cardinal
I had a couple of these the year they came out and wasn't as impressed as most people. A couple years later and I've changed my mind a little. Smooth like buttah with some Dalwhinnie 15.
