It's hard to find the perfect balance, for me I don't have the complex palate for cigars. Now booze....different story. What I think would compliment cigars well would be

Zaya 12 year rum - Made from sugar cane, it's got a sweet thing going on that is just smoother and not harsh on the palate at all.

Four Roses 120 Anniversary - The hints of vanilla and soft spice mellow this beast a great deal, I would think it wouldn't overpower the palate at all when smoking a cigar.

Those would be my top 2 picks with cigars in mind. But honestly I think just a great cigar + great booze + good friends = Good times. Even if the pairing isn't on.....it's gotta be a great night. I went to the bar with some friends and lit up some Montecristos and it just made the night. Not the best cigars, not the best alcohol...it's the experience.

Edit for the record, I had a Macallan 12 on the rocks with a Montecristo and it was fantastic. Several russian qualudes and shots as well.
