A lot of of times, we associate cigars with hearty meals like steak or roasts or other big slabs of protein cooked over an open flame. But if I ate like that every day, I'd be auditioning for "The Biggest Loser" on NBC because I would weigh about 750 pounds. Most of my meals are lighter, especially during the week when I don't have the time or desire to make something heavier.
Of course, I'd feel a lot more deprived after having a dinner consisting of soup and salad if I didn't think I could smoke a cigar afterwards. Fortunately, that is not the case. Instead, those are the times I break out my lighter cigars.
A medium to mild smoke feels better after a lighter meal, because I can get a great cigar without overwhelming my meal. A more robust cigar in those situations makes me feel like the entree never happened, because all I can taste is the smoke.
Instead, I go with something like one of the Baccarat cigars. They're light but flavorful, substantial without being heavy, and help me to finish the meal with a pleasurable cigar.
You might have other favorites, and really any quality cigar with that strength and flavor would work fine. The point is, don't think that a light and healthy meal for dinner means you have to skip the cigar for dessert. Better to go with a Baccarat than a Baskin Robbins ice cream, after all.
