Anyone drink Irish whiskey with cigars?

[bigsmoke]

I was just wondering. I like scotch but I also like Irish whiskey with a cigar. Anyone else have any ideas on the subject?

I was at a BBQ on Sunday night and ended up drinking a little Irish with cigars. It was surprisingly smooth for a blend but not as tasty as the scotches I usually drink.

I've tried Michael Collins (unblended). Very smooth

Powers and Jamesons go ok with a cigar

Bushmills

My first foray into the irish whiskey was a bottle of bushmills funny enough. I like it. The only other irish whiskey I tried was years ago and it was called something like Tellmardu, but I may be spelling it phenetically.

I like Irish Coffee...

I buy Bushmills 16 (or is it 18) once or twice per year. It's so smooth it flows uphill, as one sage fellow at my local B&M says. It's $65 a bottle so I only buy it once in a while, I drink way to much (but not as often as I used to) for that to be a regular buy for me, but it is great with cigars.

I'm fairly new to Irish whiskey. I'm 99% sure that Bushmills is a blend.
