inter4alia Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Shocked by the results. Can someone link the thread here with everyone's guesses about what they expected the results to be? I couldn't find it with search and it would be fun to compare the guesses with the final results. I can't remember now what I guessed but I'm pretty certain that OJ was not on my list. Great experiment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue you were missing drink that has most in common is; Jose Cuervo 1800 Anejo Cedar, Caramel, spiciness, citrus, grassiness, honey it's all there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Well I didn’t see that coming! I need to put this to the test myself this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Puffer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I read somewhere that Winston Churchill spent a day in Cuba smoking cigars and eating oranges, so must be something there! For me it's gotta be a nice smooth aged rum from Barbados (Mount Gay XO, Doorly's XO, Doorly's 12, Rum Sixty Six), or St Lucia (Chairmans Reserve, Admiral Rodney). But mostly I reach for Doorly's XO.

MigsG Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Really enjoying watching this, and I intend to replicate this experiment with a couple of cigar buddies. BTW I enjoy most nowadays with a cigar: honey bourbon (really honey Tennessee whiskey) OR bourbon with a spoonful of honey OR an Irish whiskey with a spoonful of honey. Seems to bring out the flavors way way better than a scotch or plain bourbon or whiskey. Must be the sweetness of the honey that I like. Now onto orange juice!

ayepatz Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Further suggestions - Champagne, Riesling (sweet), and dry English cider. Oh, and Malmsey Madeira. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’ll have to try a Monty 4 with OJ one morning this weekend. The most common pairing for me is a black Americano but also enjoy rum and cognac. If you do another test with other drinks it would be interesting to see your comments on an XO cognac. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Would be interesting to do this test with a different cigar to see if you get the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I should have added Port to the list if things to try next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Puffer Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The combination doesn't sound so odd when you consider: I intend trying OJ, But I mostly drink water when I smoke- or coffee if it's not too late. Good video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBones777 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 OJ, that's crazy! I typically drink coffee, water or Port mostly. I'll have to try Muscat and OJ. Fun video, gents. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Quite enjoy stout and rum with cigars, never thought about having orange juice though. The Fohrensics videos are great, keep up the good "work" guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Interesting results, and surprising with the OJ factor. I’ve always enjoyed a Margarita with cigars, perhaps this is similar to the OJ effect. Consistent with the results, I’ve struggled to find a red wine that pairs well with a cigar, but a recent suggestion to try a shiraz, or syrah, given it’s sweet and smokey nature, seems to be working fairly well.

KavalanWhisky Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'm going to try this tomorrow and see which OJ makes a real difference, totally shocked with the results but glad Coffee is still a good pairing as I normally have that with most of my cigars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have never tried OJ because I always assumed that the acidity would drown out any flavors I might get out of a cigar. That being said, I've paired with many other fruit juices, and even smoothies and milkshakes with great results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
