Favorite Beer
And any you would pair with a cigar, and what type cigar (wrapper, blend, strength..etc)
I'm not much of a beer drinker. In fact, I cant remember the last time I had one. I'm just a guy who has one every now and then. Now I liked Bud Light,(just ok...cold beer on a hot day, fine) Michelob and even Mich Light good with food, like Pizza. My favorites were Heinekens, Becks, and St Paulies Girl beers. Never had a Sam Adams or any of those those. So what beer if any would you pair with a maduro cigars (med to full strength) ?

Arrogant Bastard ale (Stone Brewing Co., San Diego) is a good choice with a maduro. Its emphasis on malt compliments the inherent sweetness of a maduro wrapper quite well. Heed the warnings, though.

Shiner Bock.
Or Shiner Blonde ( if you're feeling light) If you smoke cigars you owe it to yourself to explore dark beers. They complement ANY cigar very well, IMO.

teh leap from Bud Light to some of the beers mentioned might rock your socks.
I do not find Sam Adams to go well with cigars - a bit on the hoppy side - which is not to say that I don't drink it with a cigar. Start with dark beers and maduros as has been suggested above.

Bell's Expedition Stout or Founder's Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale works for me.

What he said (except for hoppy comment & cigars) ^^^^ For starters, I'd go with Sam Adams Summer Ale. Good stuff.

I can't recall if I ever had a Sam Adams. Thanks for the suggestion, I know we have Sam Adams available locally. Not sure about Summer Ale...I'll just have to check.
