I haven't been out in that area lately. But yes, when we go to Big Bend we usually make a run through Lajitas, Terlingua, and beyond.

I really shouldn't be drinking tequila, in any shape or form. I won't even touch margaritas.
Maybe in the case of the margaritas; but I would only shoot straight - no chaser, no lime, no salt, no nothing. Maybe a drink of water.
I've had a few, um, officers of the law recommend that I no longer partake of this agave-based spirit.
But I digress. Perhaps if I would stop drinking the tequila that you could also use as gasoline, I wouldn't have had such a bad experience. I've grown a bit since - maybe I should give it another try.
I love a drink + cigar. If I'm driving later, I'll have an iced coffee (thanks to Ausfailia's provisional driving laws I have to be absolutely 0.00%), if not, I'll have a rum and coke please barman. Make it a cold one.
Usually it's coffee or Dogfish beer for me - but the other day I was driving and I picked up a lipton iced tea. It really complimented the La Corona like nothing I've tried before. Just a weird thing different drinks bringing out different cigars. Made the experience really good.
I bought a box of Padron Serie 1926 80th's for when I come home on leave. Since I haven't had a drop of alcohol in 11 months due to working in Iraq, I was curious as to what would go well with it.
Any recommendations?

I'd recommend your favorite beverage. I would think you would want your time go e to be as pleasant as possible. Don't ruin it with a drink you might not enjoy.
I like a nice, strong cup of french press coffee, with some heavy whipping cream. That's what I'd drink with one of those.
I enjoyed some IBC Cream Soda last night with my cigar. It was a very pleasant combination.
I've had a few Leinenkugels Original's with a few smokes recently and it seems to pair nicely with milder and sweeter cigars. It's a very nice summer combo.
I found either Jagermeister on the rocks or Crown on the rocks does it for me when enjoying a good cigar.
I am enjoying a nice glass of port right now with a cigar..... ahhhh
yes agree with that too. Any brand? I enjoy a Brights 74.. 10 year. It is cheap and good!
Tonight I'll be enjoying a smoke from the recent Don Tuto split, along with some Gran Patron Platinum. No, I don't normally roll like that, the bottle was a gift from a generous friend. I can't bring myself to drop $190 on a bottle of booze. Normally it's maybe a $50 scotch at most, but my everyday working-man scotch is Teacher's. The woody/smoky flavor goes well with a cigar.
i prefer a nice maduro cigar with coffee w/shot of bailey's
Been drinking a lot from the Omegang brewery near Cooperstown, NY (baseball hall of fame). I've found the strong flavors have matched up to some of the stronger smokes I've been into recently.
