Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco product

RightAJ · 10-12-2009, 09:39 PM

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...

That thread Rocks Darrell! As of late, I am addicted to Sam AdamsOctoberfest, but I usually only smoke at work, so I can't have it there, so usually, I drink a coke.

I've been having some nice Sam Adams Octoberfest with my gars lately and find that this beer goes very well with a spicier cigar. Been pairing this beer up with a nice Perdomo Criollo 10th Anniversary Torpedo or even a nice RP Edge Corojo.

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

maverickdrinker · 10-12-2009, 09:47 PM

usually coke, or water or the classic dark rum and diet coke

maverickdrinker · 10-12-2009, 09:47 PM

OOOpppps.... forgot cuban coffee

McSmokey · 10-12-2009, 09:54 PM

Coffee Black or with Milk and sugar, A&W Cream Soda, Coke, or sometimes just Water

duckmanco · 10-12-2009, 10:19 PM

Espresso shot, IPA's, Guiness, red wine, root beer and water.

10-12-2009, 10:35 PM

Vodka & Sprite... dont judge me..... Im sure it effects my taste, but i can deal with scotch. If im not drinking vodka, then Coke or water.

hornitosmonster · 10-12-2009, 11:21 PM

Beer or A mixed drink (Crown and Coke or Rum and Coke)

mocktail... soda...but mostly just water...

Veritas · 10-13-2009, 03:07 AM

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.

kelmac07 · 10-13-2009, 04:15 AM
