Weekend Road Trip

It was a beautiful weekend for football and tailgating. We headed down to Blacksburg for the first Virginia Tech home football game of the season and had a wonderful time. We started our weekend at the new home of J. H. Bards Spirit Company. Their new, expanded tasting room is located in downtown Blacksburg. The new location has more seating, indoors and out, as well as nearby food options for carry-in or delivery. 

We enjoyed a couple of the house special Smoked Old Fashioneds, as well as some pasta and pizza ordered from Not Your Momma's Pasta. The food was delivered quickly and was quite tasty. J. H. Bard's is a fairly regular stop for us when in the area, and since it's no longer so far out of town, we'll probably stop by even more often.


Friday evening continued enjoying the pleasant weather on the outside patio of our hotel. I had brought along a travel flask of Michter's US*1 Small Batch Bourbon, as well as a selection of cigars to enjoy.


The Perdomo 10th Anniversary Sun Grown is a medium bodied cigar. The flavor kicks off with sweet caramel and cedar from the thick and copious smoke. As the cigar warms, caramel, molasses, and coffee join the mix. The dark fruit, vanilla, oak, and pepper notes of the bourbon pair nicely.


Saturday morning threatened some light rain, but that soon passed. We headed over to our tailgate space early, to enjoy the afternoon before the 4:30 PM kickoff. Colleen had prepared a selection of delicious "brunch" foods and we enjoyed a nice meal to start off the festivities. For me, the main tailgate event is relaxing with a nice cigar while enjoying conversation with family.

We had picked up some Paulaner Oktoberfest Märzen to enjoy as well. I especially enjoy the selections of  malty Oktoberfest beers that hit the shelves this time of year, and the Paulaner is a classic, and one of my favorites. I selected a Veritas 412 to enjoy with the Märzen. This is a cigar that I find pairs nicely with a malty beer.

The Veritas 412 features a dark Pennsylvania Maduro wrapper, a San Andrés binder, and Nicaraguan Double Ligero and Pennsylvania fillers. It's a full flavored, yet smooth smoke with semi-sweet chocolate, black pepper, and roasted nuts in the profile. The Veritas 412 is bold and dark, but with a mild sweet toasted underpinning. The 6 x 54 Toro gave about an hour and 45 minutes of smoking pleasure.

Finally it was game time. And the Hokies win at home!

Cheers!
