Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco product
 

AKA what y'all drink with your stogies??

Just started in the Scotch game, and still warming up to it but I definatly have learned to get past the burning sensation and taste the flavors in the past month or so... SoCo, coke and coffee are all favorites of mine with a cigar, but when I'm doing a review I usually stick with water.

Don't wanna leave our other tobacco product loves out, so what does everybody drink with pipes or cigs or whatever?

A good drink makes all the difference for me...

Coke, Esspreso, San Pellegrino flavored water. Depending on what cigar I smoke may determine what I drink with it.

Re: Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco pro
 

• Cuban coffee (I really need to learn how to make this at home)
• Scotch - The Macallan 18, Laphroaig, The Dalmore...
• Bourbon/Whiskey - Woodford Reserve, Blanton's, Stranahan's, Single Barrel Jack Daniels...
• Rum/Rhum - Ron Zacapa 23, Pyrat XO, Seven Fathoms, Barbancourt...
• Water

The liquors are all drunk with a few drops of water, no ice. I also drink them very sparingly, just enough with each sip to coat my tongue. Sometimes two ounces will last longer than a cigar.

When I choose a pairing, I almost do it subconsciously. I don't think "the floral notes in this beverage will complement the cedar undertones in this cigar" or anything so lofty. It's more like I choose the drink and the cigar independently based on individual merit, or simply based on what I feel like drinking/smoking at that time.

A good locally brewed Ale...always!

Re: Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco pro

Coffee, water, diet pepsi, diet Dr. Pepper, or Diet rootbeer, just depends on the smoke.

Re: Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco pro
 

scotch, bourbon, beer, pop, iced tea, water...it really depends on the time of day and the state of my palate. I'll often have a glass of water to accompany another beverage of choice.
