choice of drink while smoking?

cigarmonkel · 02-25-2011, 12:47 AM

Between the asylum, magazines, word of mouth i've heard some really weird combo's of pairings with cigars. I've heard of gatorade, milk and tequilla as some of the drinks i never would have thought to pair with a cigar. I was wondering what everyone enjoys with their cigars? Me personally, i'm a fan of whiskey or bourbon, or coffee with a more mild smoke.

Scotch

I do consider scotch to be the best drink to accompany my cigar, especially a single malt scotch. Scotch on the rocks, or just straight up, will not be overpowered by a strong cigar.

Try it by youself.

Diet cola, Diet root beer, Diet Dr. Pepper when it's sober time.

Bourbon or Islay Scotch when it's not.

I can't do coffee or heavy beer with a cigar. Way too much going on and I get a nasty muddled taste. I can do easy light beer like Keystone or something. That being said, I drink beer about 3 times a year probably. I like my liquor!

Water, tea, beer. Although lately I've been pairing cigars with a cheeseburger

I forgot how much I love to smoke and eat.

i gotta try that, im usually a huge fan of smoking after a good hearty meal. i'd be too scared my tat would over take my steak or something.

edit: BTW nice avatar, just noticed that. Frick'n awesome, love me some good'ol bastard!

Bill86 · 02-25-2011, 05:29 AM

I recommend it . Basically I light up the cigar grill a nice cheeseburger then eat and smoke. Finish the cigar up shortly after the cheeseburger.

Picked up the habit when I use to smoke cigarettes. Eating while smoking might be the greatest thing ever especially if you have a nice buzz.

Edit yes I love me some bastard, the double is one of my top 3.

well i've been ITCHING like crazy for a steak lately. so once it gets a little warmer out i'll have to do that.

i've only tried the arrogant one and its a tid bit too pricey for me seeing as i like it just as much as a 10-13 six pack by bells or great lakes (somewhat micro brewers in MI).

now im really craving a cigar, steak and some bastard grrr.

I love an ice cold Dr. Pepper with Capt. Morgan with my summertime smokes.

scottfish · 02-25-2011, 07:25 AM

A good single malt on rocks w/ my smoke of choice.

If I have to drive, an Arnold Palmer will do.
