Cigar pairings with different beverages...input greatly apprecaited

Hey all, I know there are countless opinions on the subject of pairing cigars with different beverages, but let me know what you have found to be amazing. I'm writing an article, a series of articles in fact, for a magazine and would like feedback from people who really know cigars. I've only been regularly smoking them for about 13 years, but don't want to give just my opinion.

Here's what I'd like to know...Brand and name of beverage, great cigar to go along with it, and why.

Examples: Bells Oberon ale with a Pepin Blue Generoso because...

Or: Woodford Reserve with an La Flor Dominica Chisel because...

Or, and this is the tough part for me...wine! I don't know enough about wines!!

Mixed drinks, too. Cosmopolitan with a ____ because... Or, Whiskey sour with a _____ because...

Thanks, in advance!
