Reviving another old thread.

I have been experimenting with different drinks with different cigars over the past year and have fallen in love with the brandy+maduro combo. I can't give my favorite brand cause I tend to pick up a different bottle everytime I finish one so I can't compare heads up, but I just love the smoothness and fruitiness of brandy with a rich cigar. I like the contrast. I find that scotch with a cigar that has parallel earthy, woody or oak notes tend to just blend together. I like variety in flavors. though some scotches that I have tried have a punch that clears the sinuses which allows me to pick up more aroma from the cigar.
