You’ve had countless pilsner beers like Corona and Miller Lite, but what the hell IS a pilsner really? Well, the Internet tells us that pilsners are a form of pale lager, which is beer made at cold temperatures (unlike ale, which is fermented warm). So, whether you’re drinking an old standard pils or a high quality microbrew, the Perdomo Craft Series Pilsner cigar (aka the Craft Series Connecticut) is the stogie to pair it with.
Perdomo Special Craft Series Connecticut cigars feature a creamy Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, and this lightens up the profile a bit from the others in the series (one sports a sun grown cover leaf, while the other is draped in chocolatey maduro). There’s the same delicious Nicaraguan filler mix grown from Cuban seed, of course, so you’ll still get a nice woody profile as with other Craft Series cigar blends. You also get notes of hay, nuts, and honey that are definitely welcome alongside a pint or three.
The strength here comes in at mild-medium. You won’t need a ton since you’re supposed to be sipping back on frosty brews while you smoke, and will get plenty buzzed from the combo. Perdomo Craft Series Pilsner cigars also aren’t just for pilsners strictly – there are other beers that come recommended, like white ale, or other light lagers. And of course, you can do whatever the hell you want. If there are no pints in the garage fridge or cooler, drink anything you find in there and be happy to have alcohol at all.
You have our blessing.
When you have time, though, the pairing is worth enjoying. You won’t have trouble finding your Perdomo Special Craft Series Connecticut cigars in your humidor because they have a sleeve with a picture of a pint of beer on them. Nick Perdomo knows his audience, and you don’t want to have to go reading labels if you decided to start happy hour really early and are rapidly losing literacy skills.
We know that coffee and whiskey really lead the way when it comes to cigar pairings, but beer is always welcome alongside our puffing. And wine. And cocktails. And just about anything that comes with an alcohol percentage on the label.
Yet another invitation to drink beer. Thanks, Perdomo!
Please enjoy Perdomo Craft Series Pilsner cigars at your leisure.
