Tequila Thread!!!

A rep from Jose Cuervo came to last month's cigar dinner. He brought some Don Julio, and Jose Cuervo tequila.

I tried the Don Julio 1942 and it was unbelievable good. It tasted more like a single malt scotch then tequila.

I also tried the Jose Cuevro Reserva de la Familia and I must say it was one of the best tequila I have ever had.

One of my favorites is a lower-end 100% agave by Sauza, 100 Anos.
Costs about $25/ 750ml in the states (at least around my area), but I tend to buy it in Mexico for about $12. Not to be confused with the Reposado, which is inferior.

However, the BIG question for all you tequila fans is:
With what cigar do you pair it?
I find most cigars clash with the sweet-salty-spiciness of a good tequila, & I've only found a few cigars that really complement the flavor, mostly Honduran for some inexplicable reason. San Luis Rey & Punch Gran Puro being the best pairings. Perdomo Reserve Cameroon (now discontinued) & TTT Trinidad beng the best runner-ups.

What cigar do YOU prefer with a night of tequila?
