Beverage accompaniements with your tobacco product - Page 2

I love a good Cream Soda or Sweet tea.

madwilliamflint · 10-13-2009, 09:39 AM

Daily, I drink ice water along with my smokes. The palate refresh suits me pretty well.

"On Occasion" (read: with friends) it's definitely high end cognacs (now that Sarkozy's doing some good over there I'll allow myself a bit of French finery.)

Primarily I'm a Scotch drinker, preferring the peaty Islays. Unfortunately I haven't found a cigar that can stand up to my preferred Scotch, Ardbeg.

I've tried a couple things, but when I take a drink of Scotch, any cigar I've tried to pair it with just tastes like warm air.

In the morning I often have strong black coffee with my cigars. In the afternoon it might be ice water or a beer.

In the evening it is usually ice water accompanied by good tequila (Don Julio) or Single Malt Scotch (Glenmorangie).

If I am out with a lot of people I usually end up drinking what they are drinking -- usually gin and tonic or bloody mary's.

I don't chug the alcohol, I drink it slowly and enjoy the taste with my cigar.

When I first started frequenting this (and the old) forum, I saw that a lot of brothers and sisters drank Coke. I had never been a coke drinker, in fact hated it. But the lovely Mrs. Brew likes it, so I figured what the heck. I was shocked to discover how much I enjoyed the pairing. I still enjoy a beer or occasional glass of wine with my cigar, but by far my most frequent selection is coke.

10-13-2009, 11:09 AM

coke here. Coke with whiskey or bourbon in it if the situation allows.

tuxpuff · 10-13-2009, 11:54 AM

I only smoke a couple of stogies a week at most...so it's always rum, bourbon, or beer...and on occasion all three

kaisersozei · 10-13-2009, 02:12 PM

Always have a glass of water (but I usually have water nearby even when I'm not smoking

)

If I decide to pair my smoke with something extra, I'll add: Morning smokes (usually Conny's) go great with coffee; if it's the afternoon, then rootbeer is my choice; and evening smokes will be paired with beer or port.

captain53 · 10-13-2009, 02:27 PM

Single Malt Scotch - Preferably Lagavulin - in an appropriate glass (see note below) with 3 cubes of ice max. (Ice Cubes should be made with distilled water) - Perfect! Everyday Lower Cost Substitute Scotch could include: Laphroaig, Talisker, Caol Ila or in a jam The Glenlivet will work.

Glass: Wife gave me a pair of these for Christmas many years ago:RIEDEL Engraved Whiskey/Scotch Glass Sets

Exceptions: Very hot weather = Dark Shiner Bock
Before Lunch = CDM Coffee

I do like to sip some ice water along the way with a long lasting cigar.

tsolomon · 10-13-2009, 03:03 PM

Bourbon or rum straight up with a cube or 10 Yr Tawny Port are my favorites.

Catfish · 10-13-2009, 03:11 PM

Afternoon: Water or beer
Night: Honey beer or a Chunky Screw ( 1/2 Svedka, 1/2 Most pulp Florida Natural Flavor OJ, very liberal splash of Nellie and Joe's Famous double strength Lime Juice

Us seasoned boys from the south know about it, could say it was the predecessor to Mountain Dew! Wonder how many ever drank a Teem Soda?
