Cigar and what?
 

I was wondering, what does everyone drink when having a cigar. I know a lot drink a beer or wine or even a spirit of some sort, but is there something else you like? For me it is Welch's grape juice. I love sitting out on the deck in the evenings with a nice smoke and a glass of grape juice.

So what is your favorite?

A&W Diet Root Beer!:tu

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Diet Pepsi

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I cant drink while at work and I wont the night before so I usually have a soda.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Root beer if its a particularly strong smoke(sugar to cancel out some of the nicotine), coffee if its one of my typical earthy smokes, water with everything else. Not a fan of beer with a cigar. Still have to try some of the scotch I picked up with one.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Usually a beer of some sort but if not I shoot for a pepsi to keep my sugar levels up.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Bourbon, Dr. Pepper, Water, or Sweet Tea if it is warm out

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Yoo-Hoo, Tang, grapefruit juice, V8 juice



















j/k

Beer, mojito, ice tea, coffee

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I like plain Ice tea with my cigars. Usually I put lots of surgar with it, but I have been drinking ice tea plain.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

water or some kind of carbonated drink and once in a while a glass of red wine.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Water, Sweet Tea, Lemonade or Beer normally

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I like to have Sweet Tea. I should start to make my own because the only Sweet Tea I like is the Gold Peak Sweet Tea. Anything else, doesn't come close to it. I should start making my own though.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Usually coffe in the morning, sparkling water after dinner during the week and a good beer, single malt or red on the weekends.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Sweet tea, beer, water, cappuccino, brewed coffee, and iced coffee.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Looks like a lot of people really enjoy the sweet tea.

What brands do you guys like best? Figure it differs from state to state. I like Gold Peak the best. I've tried one from Snapple, Arizona, and some other, and they all weren't sweet at all.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

glass of whiskey or a beer usually and coffee if it is early and i just get up

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Spicy Ginger Ale, coffee, cherry coke or water.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

WOW!!! To me, Arizona is so sweet, I can't drink it!! I grew up in deep south, where sweet tea rules. But I can't handle what most southerners consider sweet tea! After a pound or so of sugar in tea, all there is to the taste is the sugar! I seldom buy sweet tea, prefer to make it myself. Mainly, I prefer Lipton, and I usually use 3/4 or less of sugar per gallon. Ran across a waitress at Buffalo Wild Wings last week that uses 3 cups of sugar per gallon! Makes my teeth hurt thinking about that!

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I like normal iced tea too. Usually with a little bit of lemon in it. But I'll drink unsweetened too. I guess Arizona is sweet, it just doesn't have the sweet tea taste to it.

But I've never been to the south so I'm not sure what the true traditional style is.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I cut cranberry juice (too sweet) with some pellegrino mineral water. Oh smoked with a CAO La Traviata Ninfas.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Oh that sounds good. Do you mix them?

I wanna try that with sparkling water.

And the La Traviata is a very nice cigar. Only cigar I've ever had from CAO.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Arnold Palmer.. Half Ice tea and half Lemonade. Wonderful!

Re: Cigar and what?
 

water,ice tea,ice lemon tea

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Cigar and a beverage don't come to mind right away when I saw the title :r

Coffee seems to be my favorite drink with a cigar.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I typically smoke in the evening after dinner so its usually whiskey or a good beer for me.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I like Luzianne. I usually just make pitchers of unsweet tea but if I want sweet I add 1cup of sugar for 2qts.

Other than beer and whiskey, I prefer unsweet tea with my cigars, I like sweet too but something about unsweet tea that just stays second fiddle to the cigar. I also often enjoy coffee with my smokes.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Diet coke or a scotch (pretty rare)

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I love me a good pair!!!:D

Morning = Coffee w/ cigar
Afternoon = Beer (micro brew) w/ cigar
Evening = Beer w/ cigar
Warm evening = Beer w/ cigar
Cool evening = Mixed drink (mojito, Crown & Coke, ect) w/ cigar
Cold Evening = Decafe w/ cigar

I always like to pair a cigar with a drink. I don't like to smoke without a drink, if I do I usually have to spit!:sh

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Yeah, I "cut" the cranberry juice with the pellegrino, about 1 to 1.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

coke, or when i can drink scotch or beer :)

Re: Cigar and what?
 

+1. If I don't have a drink with the smoke, I spit quite a bit. Dunno why.

As for what I drink. I really like Appleton Estate rum (haven't had any of the "good" rums yet) with a few cubes and a splash of water, Jameson Reserve neat, Diet Pepsi, Lemonade, or my favorite, plain water.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Coke, or cool aid

Re: Cigar and what?
 

If you can find it, Appleton has a 20 year aged rum, and now (as I've been told) a 30 year ages rum. I Have a bottle of the 20 year, and it ranks as the "good" stuff with me! Hard to find, and my only local source has to order it outside of the normal state ABC's list of available product. My source has been trying for two years to get a supply of the 30 year, but so far, no luck!

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Lipton tea bags, family size, 4 to a gallon. Bring a couple of cups of water to a boil and remove from heat. Add bags and allow to steep for about 15 minutes. Decant and add a cup and a half of sugar. Dilute to a gallon. It's good fresh over ice, but best on day 2 or 3.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Very close to my method, except I use 2 family size bags, and let them steep for at least 24 hours before 3/4 cup of sugar to a gallon of tea. Kinda a "sun-tea" method, except I bring water to a boil, then set off heat, then put in tea bags. Oh, FWIW, we only use porcelain lined brewing kettles for the steeping. Keeps out bitter taste that steeping that long in metal pot would bring. Glass pot would work as well, but harder to find and more expensive for no appreciable difference over porcelain, IMO.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Coffee is always my first choice, followed by water, then Coke Zero.

If it is brutally hot out, I skip the coffee altogether.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take a look on my way home tonight.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Depends on the smoke but normally its a DR Pepper. Otherwise a cold water or a good beer.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Cold water:sh.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

I like really strong iced coffee inthe summer, in the winter it's strong black coffee and a glass of water (separately, take turns on sips).

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Coffee, red wine or beer

Re: Cigar and what?
 

No luck in my town. They had the V/X and the Reserve. :(

Looks like I may have to order.

Last night I paired an 07 CoRo with a 2005 Toad Hollow Cabernet Sauvignon.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Whoa. Just looked at the price of the 21 and 30 year bottles. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and stick to the Reserve... It tastes just fine to me!

Re: Cigar and what?
 

Hmm, what would Bill Clinton answer? Inquiring minds want to know...

If I can locate it, brother, I'll see if I can bump an old thread of mine for you.

Re: Cigar and what?
 

:sh

Re: Cigar and what?
 

It makes sense if you don't think about it. :D

Re: Cigar and what?
 

When I smoke a cigar it usually gets paired with the following:

Water (if its a relatively new cigar, or light, or I am not in a mood of drinking anything else with it).

Root Beer (if it strong, peppery, your Don Pepin cigars)

Scotch (if I am in a mood of drinking something. If not water or root beer, its scotch)

Beer (I drink this rarely, but sometimes I would like one, and turn to Leffe or La Fin Du Monde).

Drink what you like!

Re: Cigar and what?
 

True, very true indeed! :su





On topic: I love ice water, it never tastes better than with a cigar.
