Cigars and Sushi - Page 2 - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

Probably the worst combo for me was smoking a cigar after eating a real spicy bowl of Chili at a herf. The combo was not horrible but being I was just gifted a Anejo Shark from '05 and was told to smoke it first kind of took the wow factor from the cigar for a good while. It was not until I hit just past the midway point that I was finally able to appreciate the cigar. I also did not have the heart to tell the person who gifted me the cigar that the first half of the cigar was overpowered by jalapeno infested bowl of spiciness. I should have known better to even think about ordering Chili that day but it just never clicked until after the fact.

Had Sushi tonight, but sadly no cigar. Don't think they would have been bad, though. Had a Tatuaje Noella with me, but nowhere to smoke it.

Evil combinations:
Toothpaste and Orange Juice
Tequila and Milk
Spaghetti and Duck Sauce

After sushi I like to enjoy a mild-medium cigar, as the sushi is a light meal, even if you eat a ton of it... like 3 rolls yourself with tempura *cough*

:-)

A nice Sashimi Bento and a medium corona is great. Go Wasabi-less and it is a great finish after the meal.

Yeah, cigars and sushi don't mix. Especially if you've eaten some wasabi and ginger. I agree that steak and cigars is a much better combo.

I've killed my palate with spicy food on several occasions before smoking a cigar. It's almost difficult to taste anything but spice. Now, I'm very careful to not eat spicy food before I smoke.

I remember getting ready for a date once, drinking a beer in the shower. I set the beer down, brushed my teeth, picked the beer back up and finished it off. And then I winced and shivered for about two minutes because holy **** is that a stupid thing to do to yourself. What a bad combination.

Here in Reno you can do sushi/cigar/strippers......

Yes a local strip club has a decent sushi bar in it. They also have some decent smokes in their humi. So I am told. :-)

Reminds me of the time I went out to dinner with a friend and they asked us if we would like to order from the Sushi bar? My friend said, I don't eat bait that's the stuff my food eats. I nearly laughed my A-off. :-)
