Default Re: Madeira - No. 1 Drink for Cigars

You might look at a couple of great articles on Madeira published a couple of years ago by cigar lover Doug Kuebler:

Part 1

Part 2

Great read! Finally, I am not the only preaching Madeira to the cigar community!

I'd try to get people on Sherry bandwagon too, but that is a difficult sell, as the oxidized taste is aquired.

Lips are sealed...

Oloroso is my favorite. PX is great in small amounts.

So, I'm having particularly bad luck finding Madeiras in my area. They drink a lot of wine, but the more 'niche' ones aren't carried much out here. One thought they carried Madeiras but turned out to be a port. So, do any of you know a good online resource for ordering Madeiras that won't charge me an arm and a leg?

No experience with Madeiras personally, so maybe someone else can chime in here with better advice, but Bevmo has a few madeiras.
