Back in the day, I used to enjoy Bombay Sapphire with just ice. Gin straight can be pretty powerful stuff. It creeps up on you and then- Bam!
The wife and I were playing Monopoly with some family and friends one New Years Eve and I was drinking Sapphire straight. I thought I had things in check- "sipping" by my definition. Midway through the game (probably after buying Boardwalk- lol), I passed out - head straight down on the card table. Woke up several hours later thinking to myself: "WTF?"
Gin with just ruby red grapefruit juice is good. These seem to compliment each other well without getting the nasty sweetness most mixed cocktails provide.
I must say that I never really got into any sort of Gin drink with cigars. The Juniper Berry (giving Gin it's distinct taste I think) always seemed to overpower or distract from the tobacco taste.
