Sex and Cigars

OK back on topic.

Not sure why but I really like my scotch with my cigars. I can't tell you what taste is pulled from what but I do know I like it. So much so that I find myself going through much more scotch than I should. :-)

Good topic Dan, I just might learn something.

As much as I love a Scotch with a "good" cigar, it is still hard to beat a 5 Vegas A with a stout Espresso.

I typically drink scotch or bourbon with my cigars. However I also find rum goes really well with a lot of Cuban cigars as it does not tend to overpower my palate as whiskeys can sometimes do.

On a non-alcoholic note; I had a perfect pairing yesterday with a '99 Hoyo Du Prince and a Power-c (Dragonfruit) Vitamin Water.

I like Dr. Pepper with any cigar. It sweetens things up and can help with the nic buzz.

I like coffee with any stick, especially mild, floral sticks in the morning. Beer is always good with smokes. Sweet tea can be hit or miss. The bitterness sometimes causes funny tastes. Pepsi or Coke goes well. Clear soft drinks with liquor is a plus.

Never drink milk and smoke!

My man...that's what I'm talkin' about....I have that combination at least once a week as Series A is a staple, inexpensive, "go-to" smoke in my humidor, and yes...the Espresso is exactly what I'll have with it.

I will say this....last Thursday, we had Yuengling Black and Tan lager paired with a San Cristobal, and it was scrumtrulescent, my friends!
