Any ideas?

And what is your favorite beer and stick pair.

maybe Chimay and a CC, like a Monte #2,,,

wheel,

Pfttt a better beer.... like miller light ? x-P

I seem to have the same issue. However, it seems easier when you have some nice Bourbon;)

drink a better beer..

[whip]

But seriously most beers give my cigars a "sour" flavor for me

swallow before taking a puff...

Lindemans makes a lambic beer called Framboise that is dynamite with a strong maduro....

I drink stout of various sorts frequently with whatever I am smoking. And love it.

German dark beers, love them with a cigar.

I don't drink lighter beers, only dark so am really surprised to see anyone posting that beer doesn't go well with a cigar.

I don't like ipa with anything, I just don't care for the pale stuff.

A good option would be a belgian abby ale or white beer, will be a lot closer to a lager in body but will likely be a much better pair with a good cigar. For Northeast local options check out Omegang and Allagash. The Allagash Curieux is phenomenal, they finish the beer if bourbon barrels, but be careful as it is around 11% alcohol.

Good luck and congrats on getting more time with your youngster as well! We're very lucky to have my wife be able to do the same with our 16 mo. daughter.

Just last night

Real men don't drink Framboise! That's for the ladies only.

Wheel offers a good suggestion with the Chimays and a Monte. Breckenrighe Vanilla Porter is awesome if you can get it on the East Coast. Left Hand Brewery's Milk Stout is incredibly tasty and dangerous. Try Samuel Smith's (Nut Brown Ale, Taddy Porter, Imperial Stout). Rougue makes a few good beers too. I like pairing them with HdM Dark Sumatra, or a heavy smoke like a CroMagnon, Tat 7th, or a rich chewy oscuro.

For a litter bodied brew try Stella Artois or Pilsner Urquell with a PSD4.
