    I love a good full bodied smoke with a tall Oban and a splash of water I haven't tried Dalmore, at least not that I remember. There were a few hazy days in Edinburgh...I'll definitely have to pick up a bottle.

    I've never enjoyed Irish whisky as much as single malts but I'll keep an open mind if I can ever find a bottle on this side of the pond.

    bump for update...
    When I have a drink with a cigar, I choose whatever I have: Captain Morgan's Private Stock, Makers Mark, Patron Silver, Knob Creek or Jack Daniels. My favorite is Capt. Morgan's Private Stock with either MUG or A&W Rootbeer... Uncle Steve put me onto this combination and I don't know what it is, but it goes great with any cigar. Tonight, I matched it with a 5 Vegas Cask Strength and a Macanudo Hyde Park... delicious!!

    I had a recent run in with some bourbon and coke. Went very well with a couple of different cigars. Too well. Almost.

    It's called a root beer barrel, and it's best with Barq's and a cheap spiced rum like Captain.

    I know not everyone likes the macanudo's but that one was the last of a 5er my local cigar store suckered me on and I can't throw sticks away, without at least trying to smoke 'em first. That's why I started with the 5 Vegas Cask Strength. I was just trying to get rid of the macanudo... not a big fan of them... very mild taste.. my comment about 'delicious' was in relation to the 5 Vegas. I guess I should hvae been a little more clear about that.

    Hefty,
    I agree, the root beer barrel tastes better with Barq's, but I had MUG at the apartment, so that's what I use. Kind of funny how stuff gets passed on isn't it?
