What is your favorite alcohol to drink with a cigar?

Cognac or scotch with big cigars
(Unlike James I Prefer Islay scotches with tobacco.)

Port, Madeira, PX sherry or Banyuls if after a meal - with a nice Cuban petit corona

Beer if watching football.

I generally prefer something with a little sweetness. Port, sherry or ice wine all fit the bill nicely. Some brown liquors, like a sweeter bourbon, scotch or rum. Beer can be great but I'm not usually a fan of bitter with my cigars so I lean towards things like Belgian quads or bourbon barrel stouts. I love hops, just not so much when I'm smoking a cigar.
