One of the finest things mankind ever used fire for, besides lighting cigars, of course, is cooking a steak. Filet mignon, T-bone, flank steak, tenderloin, strip steak, ribeye, whichever you like, however you take it, everyone loves a great steak.

The steak I selected is a personal favorite of mine, a skirt steak my local butcher has served me for years. Skirt steaks are made from the plate section of the belly and while it contains a lot of connective tissue from tougher muscles, if cooked correctly it becomes incredibly juicy and tender. Best cooked medium to medium rare, but I acknowledge there are aficionados who take their steaks well done so feel free to cook however you prefer. My own recipe keeps it simple, use a non seasoned tenderizer to start, then season sem-liberally with pepper and a pinch of garlic salt, lightly dress with soy sauce to finish. Cook until it reaches your desired level. Best paired with Maker\u2019s Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After countless steaks, I found just the right cigar. After a hardy meal like that, you want a smoke that\u2019s light and calming. I kept trying until I found the lightest, most relaxing smoke there is. A <a href=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/cigars\/brands\/baccarat\/baccarat\/baccarat-petit-corona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baccarat Petit Corona<\/a>! The perfect size for a lazy afternoon smoke, and with a mellow sensation from the first draw, the Baccarat feels like you\u2019re being carried off on a cloud. The perfect sensation to counter a full stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/k5-bca5050-a_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/k5-bca5050-a_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/k5-bca5050-a_2-420x420.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have any preferred after dinner smokes?
