What to pair w/ a cigar?

After spending a couple of years as a bartender, I grew to appreciate many drinks.

Aside from Tequila (thanks to some childhood mishaps :) ), there's not much I can't enjoy.

This brings me to wondering what you folks like to drink while enjoying a cigar?

I always feel like a cigar is asking for something brown like Scotch or Bourbon.

I look forward to you posting some of your finds!!!

Personally, I enjoy beer with my cigars. But I also enjoy rum, port wine, red wine, and others beverages!!!

Beer (porter or stout usually)
Rum (Zacapa 23 or Centenario)
Vodka (Stoli, Jean Marc)
Tequila (Don Julio Anejo, Patron XO)
Amaretto (Disaronno)
Port (Grahams, Fonseca)
and probably lots of other things I am too drunk to remember. ;)

Amaretto sounds interesting as a pairing. What type of cigar to you typically pair it with?

:tpd: I happened to win a bottle of Disaronno at a golf outing and, other than making a Godfather with it, I'm at a loss!

Seems to pair well with most medium bodied Cuban cigars for me, Lane. :tu

I like it with just an ice cube or two, the sweetness pairs nicely with a medium bodied cigar, Joel. :)

Never had the pairing before, but I'd imagine a Mojito would go well with a few cigars.

Lots of great input here.

This weekend I will be going with my current standby of Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy and maybe a Jim Beam Red Stag Manhattan.
