All Cigar Discussion>Pairing Apple Cider with a Cigar

I don't know about you, but I'm an apple cider fiend. Not the pasturized homoginized crap, I'm talking about the stuff that will turn to hard cider if you don't drink it quick enough.

So as I search for some of the good stuff in my new location, I'm hoping for some suggestions on what to smoke as I consume mass quantities of cider.

ImageImage Thanks in advanced.

Another great choice with a cigar is the mexican apple soda, real cane sugar, a little sparkle. You can find it at many large grocery stores in the ethnic or Hispanic section, and of course at your local mercado.

Heck yea, there's a few mexican stores that have a little grill that stock this. Fissure and I can on occasion be seen smoking and drinking these in my garage calling kidrock asking why he's not with us.

Wow. I never gave thought to this pairing. Sounds interesting. I'll certainly have to give it a try now.

Let your cider harden then freeze it (preferably outside). The alcohol will not freeze and you can pour off what is sometimes called applejack. Delicious.
