Choice of drink can overwhelm cigar's flavor...

[Ashcan Bill]

Generally only coffee or water for me when I'm smoking a good cigar. Once in a while I may pair one with a martini or IPA, but if I do that I realize up front it's going to change the experience and compete with the cigar in the flavor department. Coffee impacts the cigar taste too, but in a good way that tends to enhance the cigar, at least for me.
