Just wondering what others prefer to drink with their cigars. Me, I love a White Russian of a Guiness.
Iced coffee for the most part...a nice whiskey with a thick cigar sounds good!
Water, Beer (read real beer, not piss water that comes out of St. Louis), Coffee, Gin
Just about anything...whatever I feel like and have at the moment. Scotch, rum, gin, whiskey, coffee, tea, iced tea, dr. pepper, coke, etc.
Dr. Pepper seems to go very well with most smokes.
Coke or Coffee mostly. Something about vanilla coke in particular really goes well with maduros
Me Too. I like most any drink with Kahlua or other coffee liqueur with a cigar. I think that coffee and cigars compliment each other. Or maybe it's the double whammy of caffeine and nicotine.
My second choice is a shot of Patron or Tres Amigos to wake up whats left of my taste buds.
Coffee almost all the time.....good old H20, and the once in a while beer. I have been getting closer and closer to trying scotch and cognac since I've read so much about them being good matches for cigars.
i enjoy a nice glass of disaronno on the rocks it tends to bring out the sweet flavors in the cigars.
Coke or black coffee.
Simple is good.
The most amazing cigar/drink combination I've encountered was a RP Vintage '90 Torpedo with a glass of Jonesey Tawny Port.
So...try Port wine.
Mostly anything for me. Water, soda, beer or whiskey.
Lately, I've enjoyed Newcastle Ale allowed to "warm" to about 60*. This brings the flavor alive :smiley4:
seems to go well with spicy corojo cigars.
..gonna get some port wine myself, how do you all drink port? cold, cool, or room temp?
3 fingers of Crown for me!!! Love Crown with a stick!!!:smiley20:
In the morning it would be coffee.
In the afternoon its either Mt Dew or Dr Pepper.
In the evening its either a nice beer, bourbon or scotch.
spiffy
Espresso Imperial Stout with CAO MX2
Stone Smoked Porter with AVO (Alaska's will fail half way through the cigar)
Oak Aged Bourbon Porter with Camacho Triple Maduro
Still working on new combos.
Better yet...there is a delightful drink for delicious cigars, sumptious sips for swallowing
with smooth cigars and boastful beverages for benevolent beauties. Gents... have you
noticed that certain drinks go better at designated times of the day, circumstances and
cigars. Mimosas in the morning on a deck overlooking a forest, beers on the boat,
vodka on the course, brandy in the evening. It is well known that our beverage of choice
is more than capable of enticing the old taste buds to explore new heights in the smoke
that we may not have experienced before. Pure enjoyment all the way around and down
to the last ash.:smiley41
Hey Ash, Tolkien wants his vernacular back.
:smiley2:
I drink my port at room temp. Jonesy Tawny Port (my favorite) can be had for about $10.99 here.
Most of the time it's Coffee, Beer, Coke/Bourbon or Whiskey, or lastly Scotch. Now, it's a 12 Glennfiddick with a CAO MX2 :smiley41:
I plan on pairing some port wine with a RP Decade this weekend. That CAO MX2/GlenFiddich combo sounds interesting too.
As you can see I like to chug a beer before and after every cigar.

Guys - I'm at a party last night and the ladies are debating which hors' deuvre
(aka - snacks) do we like best. We guys were a little preoccupied with our smokes,
but I told the gals I would get back to them with a larger consensus of opinion.
So...how about it, what little nibbler is your favorite? I am a little partial to shrimp
or bacon-wrapped anything. :smiley41:
well hell it keystone light in a 24 oz can its just good ass beer :smiley32::smiley32:
dustin
ps after about six i think i will sign off for the night or maybe go and ressurect the fish tank threed :smiley36::smiley36:
A good amber, like Sam Adams Boston Lager or Elliot Ness from Great Lakes Brewery.
I haven't had much good experiences drinking beer and enjoying a good cigar - at least not if I want to enjoy the taste of each separately. But I'm interested in trying out a few of the combinations suggested in this thread.
I enjoy either a scotch or a port. I'm a big fan of the Jonesey Port as well, but I've also enjoyed Irish Cream, such as O'Maras. I really enjoy the milky-sweet taste with the spiciness of cigars I normally enjoy.
oops
bump for nostalgia
scotch is my drink of choice. Port would be a distant second. I rarely drink beer with my cigars but sometimes when its hot and there are no mojitos.
I generally drink coke or coffee depending on the season, however i picked up a bottle of Elijah Craig 12 yr. bourbon last night that i am anxious to pare with different cigars.
Rum and coke...or Gin and Tonic are my favorites. Although I did really enjoy a Heineken with a Gurkha Beast recently! Very good combination to me!
Something worth checking out are the single village Mezcals from Del Maguey. Unlike tequila where the agave is roasted in autoclaves the Del Maguey Mezcals are from agave pinas roasted in pits over heated stones and plant fibers so they take on a smokiness reminiscent of a good Islay malt. In the summer a full-bodied smoke, a camp fire and a glass of Del Maguey Chichicapa or Minero is pure heaven.
Otherwise it's the usual Scotch, Bourbon, Espresso or Coca-Cola.
