Good dark Rum, red wine or an excellent sipping Tequila.

Sadly, its either coffee, natty light, or keystone light (whichever beer is cheaper, is the one that gets the buy)

I enjoy either a dark beer or red wine. They just seem to go well with cigars.

Although I've been known to drink lots of Miller lite and smoke cigars

Lately I've been having water with my cigars and have been able to discern many more flavors.

A good tawny port pairs great with a cigar.

Most often it's coffee for me. I love that combination. Sometimes black coffee and a cigar gives a really nice vanilla taste.

Lately I've also been experimenting with more ales, rather than the dark beer I used to drink once in a while when smoking - Summit India Pale Ale, Red Hook ESB, etc ...

Agua frķa

I usually have a nice craft brew before or afterwards. Fat Tire, Bridgeport IPA, or NB 1554.

Right now it's Taylor 10 Year Tawny Port, but as the weather gets colder I'm switching back to bourbon, EW SB 10 or Woodford Reserve. Maybe a nice rum on the warmer nights which will be Zaya when I find another bottle.

Boy, really depends on the cigar and environment. For a robust smoke in a comfy place, I prefer Islay scotch (laphroig or lagavulin).

For the back deck on a nice night, captain morgan/coke.

While mowing, a beer.

If I am not drinking alcohol, then I like coke or root beer.

so many choices for so many scenarios.

Either coffee, Grey Goose + Tonic w/twist, or a good old Dr. Pepper.


All three seam to really bing out flavors in the cigar that I don't get without them.

I've had gin and tonic, Scotch, Rum, coffee, and many, many beers. Not found anything yet that creates any probs between the drink and the stick. Tonight I'll be having a Carolina Blonde with my stick.
