I like Evan Williams Single barrel or any single malt scotch. I also enjoy hoppy,full bodied ales.

a good tawny port is probably my favorite, but a nice single malt, anejo tequila, or a dark and stormy all work too.

Right now water is on the top of the list but I will update in a few months once I have tried other combos.

Bass Pale Ale. I have not found a drink yet that compliments any cigar as well as Bass.

Lately it has been red wine, port, coffee or water. It all depends on the time of day. :)

I always have a large glass of water on hand, but I might also be drinking a tawny port, root beer, stout or German lager. Just depends on the cigar, my mood and the time of day.

I have heard a lot of people comment on how well root beer pairs with a cigar.

Just so I can say i've posted in the 'Wine, Beer, and Spirits' forum...


Coffee.

Black (unless the cigar is incredibly full bodied, and I'll use sugar to fight the nic kick.)

Macallan 18+, Oban, or Lagavulin will always do nicely for me...

On Saturdays when I have a morning smoke it is coffee. For my daily ritual on the back porch it is usually Jack on the rocks. Sometimes it is a rum (usually Flor de Cana) with a twist of lime.

Guinness usually or Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout.

If I am at the b&m, then either Diet Barq's or Diet Dr Pepper. When at home either a cold Coor's Light, or a Crown Royal rocks with just a splash of water.

Good dark Rum, red wine or an excellent sipping Tequila.

Sadly, its either coffee, natty light, or keystone light (whichever beer is cheaper, is the one that gets the buy)

I enjoy either a dark beer or red wine. They just seem to go well with cigars.

:tpd:

Although I've been known to drink lots of Miller lite and smoke cigars:D

Lately I've been having water with my cigars and have been able to discern many more flavors.

A good tawny port pairs great with a cigar.

Most often it's coffee for me. I love that combination. Sometimes black coffee and a cigar gives a really nice vanilla taste.

Lately I've also been experimenting with more ales, rather than the dark beer I used to drink once in a while when smoking - Summit India Pale Ale, Red Hook ESB, etc ... :tu

I usually have a nice craft brew before or afterwards. Fat Tire, Bridgeport IPA, or NB 1554.

Right now it's Taylor 10 Year Tawny Port, but as the weather gets colder I'm switching back to bourbon, EW SB 10 or Woodford Reserve. Maybe a nice rum on the warmer nights which will be Zaya when I find another bottle.

I usually drink bourbon or scotch. My current favorite is Macallan 18.

Boy, really depends on the cigar and environment. For a robust smoke in a comfy place, I prefer Islay scotch (laphroig or lagavulin).

For the back deck on a nice night, captain morgan/coke.

While mowing, a beer.

If I am not drinking alcohol, then I like coke or root beer.

so many choices for so many scenarios.

Either coffee, Grey Goose + Tonic w/twist, or a good old Dr. Pepper.


All three seam to really bing out flavors in the cigar that I don't get without them.

I've had gin and tonic, Scotch, Rum, coffee, and many, many beers. Not found anything yet that creates any probs between the drink and the stick. Tonight I'll be having a Carolina Blonde with my stick.
