hot chocolate suggestions

[jibjob79]

Just enjoying a nice hot chocolate with a little (okay a lot) whiskey in it as i smoke a NUB by an open fire outside in the garden. The chocolate really seems to be complementing the cigar very well and adding a nice subtle aftertaste to the smoking experience. I'm just having some good old Cadbury hot chocolate made with warm milk and sugar. Just curious if anyone else likes hot chocolate with a cigar on a chilling evening and if anyone can recommend some nicer choices/brands. It's been ages since i've have a hot chocolate and the child hood memories are just flooding back.

hello jibjob,
you mentioned cadbury's........what about the cadbury's bourneville hot choclolate? you can get it everywhere, from supermarkets like tesco and asda to petrol stations!!!! you can't miss it, it comes in a red can!!!! it's got a nice, bitter kick to it........it pairs up well with most cubans!!!!

personally, when i'm having a cigar, i always have a piece of dark chocolate with it, mainly cadbury's bourneville or lindt 90%!!! so, in my opinion, the darker and bitter, the better.........

hope this helps,

alex

Try Whitards, they do some nice combinations like white choc and caramel choc. Like the one you had at mine last week.

I hear we Americans have inferior product when it comes to chocolate, unless we buy the upscale stuff. I'll have to try this combo some time.

Talking of hot chocolate, try a little finely ground chilli powder in there. The Aztecs used this brew, back in the day. Admittedly, it won't be to everyone's taste, but it is a very palatable combination. It'd be interesting to see how this paired up with a cigar.

Not tried it with a cigar, but the Suchard hot choc from the machine in work is very good IMO.

You'd probably love this then:

Take a square of good 70% or higher cocoa chocolate bar.
Drizzle lightly with Extra Virgin olive oil.
Put a single, large Maldon Sea Salt flake on top.

Eat and expect the unexpected.
