As far as a drink, I LOVE bourbon with cigars, well I just plain love bourbon actually (more than scotch but that's my opinion). Stouts are good with cigars, and mojitos are great! Sometimes it's good to switch it up and drink something juicy, like a piņa colada with a cigar, it refreshes the palate and contrasts with a cigar nicely. Oh and don't forget about wine, especially port. See if they have Knob Creek single barrel bourbon in your area, it's a terrific bourbon for only about $40, pound for pound one of the best out there!
Sumo - Chris is in Europe. You're sending him on a wild goose chase. No chance in heaven, hell or otherwise he's going to find "Padron", "Undercrown", "Espinosa Habano", "Pinar Del Rio", "Ortega Series D", or "My Father" at his local shop...

Chris - quite a difference between R y J and Guantanemera - from one end of the spectrum to the other as far as pricing and quality (Guantanemera being about as cheap as it gets). If you're smoking Guantanemera, you might also want to check out Quintero. They're a bit more "bold" than the Guantanemera, but a very good "cheap" cigar. Fonseca, Juan Piedra, La Flor de Cano, La Gloria Cubana, Quai D' Orsay are other lines you might want to check out - more on the lighter side like R y J.
