Bowl after a Big Meal?

[AJL67]

Just changed the order of words, as some places serve a "Big Bowl" as a meal.

Original: After a Big Meal Bowl?

Being in the cigar would i know that after a big meal like a steak or “meat” that a CoRo or Partagas PSD4 is just going to hit the spot for me, perfect after dinner cigars. I haven’t found that for a pipe yet, still doing a cigar, but the question is what’s your go to tobacco after a big meal?

YMMV

Key Lime Pie

Heavy perique smoke for me, or a nice stoved VA. I really enjoy my mixture of Picayune and King's Red VA - great after meal smoke. As far as from a blender, I'd say something like Escudo or Crumble Kake VaPer.
If it's after something sweet like ice cream or dessert, I tend to reach for something like DBE or Kendal KY from GH. A nice full flavor smoke

I'd light up Six Pence. But then again I'd light it up after any meal.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Whatever I was smoking prior to dining.

Key Lime Pie

Hard to get real key like pie outside of Florida.

You can always make it yourself. As any botanist will tell you a lime is a lime.

Cigar wise, it would be a Ramon Allones Specially Selected or Bolivar Royal Coronas. But if we're talking pipe, it seems something a little richer with coffee would go nice - something a long the lines of a good English or Balkan.

Old Dark Fired

I have a whole bunch of that for you ?

Maybe some Gaslight with a good espresso and maybe a small glass of Calvados or rum.

 

[bullet08]

Nice nap. Maybe some nice English/Balkan after waking up.

Not quite true.
Different species of limes have quite distinct flavours.

Agreed.
That's when I really feel like a cigar and rum/cognac

Just disappointing there are so few places (outside of your home) to enjoy such niceties in Oz today

Anywhere really, visited a friend in Oregon and a nice cigar lounge over a steakhouse you couldn’t smoke in the steakhouse but you could order dinner in the lounge and they would bring it up, that was heaven. There is also a place here in Tampa Florida that is a famous old steakhouse that has “the dessert room” upstairs where it’s desserts and after dinner drinks and you can smoke there. There’s a few places scattered around.

And key likes are very very distinct.

My favourite cigar lounge is in Singapore's Chinatown, above a restaurant.

No street signage. To get to it you need to go through the restaurant, into an ill-lit stairwell / lift alcove.
It used to be an opium den in an prior incarnation.

Once you get there, you're welcomed by one of the hostesses who will show you around the well-stocked walk-in humidor. Huge selection of single-malts and other libations.

If you need feeding, they will bring you a menu from the restaurant downstairs and
arrange for the food to be delivered to you.

Oh for service like that in Australia !
Outside of the high-rollers rooms in a couple of casinos (that I've heard about from a friend who used to work in one).

Probably a 70% chance I'll want an English/Balkan, 25% chance I'll want an aromatic, and the remaining 5% is "other." Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match is my standby for option #1, but there are a variety of others I could choose, too many to name. For option #2, same variety, but Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake and Drew Estate Grand Central probably lead the way. I'm cellared wide, not deep.

Obviously, dinner is generally the largest meal, but I don't often smoke then, however. In all honesty, I'm usually too exhausted from my workday, and just want to watch some Seinfeld with wifey before bedtime. We eat dinner later than most, these days around 9pm, so that leaves precious little time for post-supper piping.

It used to be G.L Pease Quiet Nights, but I don't really smoke latakia heavy blends anymore.
