Not actually a good pair, but I figured I would post anyways.
Really the first time I had a beer that just didn't seem to work with a cigar.

Today I had a perfect pair: La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial El Jocko Maduro and a Black Boss Porter (my first of this brand)!!!

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9568/blackboss01.jpg

The porter was off the hook as well as the cigar!!! The porter had an unsweetened licorice background with hints of coffee, and a smokey flavor!!! The cigar was all leather and coffee!!!

Post your favorite pair!!! (Keep it clean please!!!)

Man I had my first and only Black Boss Porter a few months ago when I attended a meeting in Raliegh, boy was it good. I should try and find some. My eyes opened real big when I saw that pic..awesome.

07 QDO Panatela
Jolly Pumpkin Oro De Calabaza
Great light pairing, the golden ale tasted almost like a nice dry champagne, which went incredibly well with the citrus and floral QDO flavor profile:tu

My buddy told me anything from that brewery is good, I haven't tried anything yet though. I intend to.

My in-laws live in Ann Arbor, so they pick me up a couple bottles when they visit. I highly recommend the Dark Dawn Stout; best Imperial I've had.

Yes, but was it a "great pair"?

honestly my tastes are not that developed yet.
I haven't had a cigar and a beer yet that wasn't a great pair (Except for the Holy Grail/Bolivar).
I think the beer really helped me get through the first third of the stick when it was a bit too peppery for my taste and then it was smooth sailing. So it was a great pair for me.

Can't wait to pair something with a Jolly Pumpkin beverage.

I haven't heard good things about the Holy Grail. Most people say the only thing going for it is the Monty Python appeal.

Celebrated the 4th by brewing! Hot as hell out, so I went with something refreshing, a Cabaiguan Coronas Extra + MGD

Laugh if you must :lr but this paired surprisingly well. Lots of complimentary sweetness, spicy notes and some citrus. Great when it's 95 out!

Oliva MB3 and D.O.R.I.S. The Destroyer (Double Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout) <Match made in Heaven!

Another great pair was this:

Cain Habano 550 and some Ron Zapaco 23 Rum!

While rearranging my cooler, I found that I had one left of a Partagas Culebra. The first two, SmokeyNL and I had in Greece last August.

This pair was a great way to end the weekend!

I might have to put a mini-fridge next to my humidor stocked with Fraps.
