A Rainy-Day Pairing: Davidoff Signature 1000 and Coffee

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Nov 20th, 2025 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s not all cigars and bourbon around here — sometimes it’s cigars and coffee. Such was the case on a recent rainy afternoon. I felt like a quick smoke and reached for a Davidoff Signature 1000. With a mug of mocha-flavored coffee in hand, I retreated…

Pairing The Banker Annuity with Chattanooga Single Barrel

Breaking the Porch Routine for an Afternoon at Hogshead

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Nov 14th, 2025 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s been far too long since I’ve paid a visit to Hogshead Cigar Lounge. Oddly enough, enjoying a smoke at my local brick-and-mortar used to be almost a weekly ritual just a couple of years ago. In theory, retiring last year should have meant I’d visit…

Cellar Surprise: Wicked Nymph Stout & Event Horizon Cigar Pairing

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Nov 11th, 2025 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I pulled an old beer from the cellar to enjoy this past weekend — Wicked Nymph, a barrel-aged Imperial Stout from Adventure Brewing. The corked and caged bottle was purchased back in 2015 and had been quietly collecting dust in the basement for the pas…
