Cigar Tastes Best With .........

[Shocker]

I have just joined this forum and tried to find any discussion on the topic of people's favorite drink with a cigar but could not find any so decided to start a new post.

Everywhere you read you seem to find that one should only have single malt scotch with their cigar. At first it seems natural as you keep hearing this over and over again but I am sure that there are people out there with just as many preferences for drinks as the have for cigars.

Let's share what one like to have as a drink to compliment heir fine cigar. Would be great if you guys can give some details about your particular experience perhaps some will decide to try it as well.

Ok I Will go first:

Most of the time I like to have strong coffee - preferably espresso - with my cigars. I guess the reason is I like my cigars on the strong side with lots of spice and a nice kick to them, s to me the taste and aroma of espresso only add to the overall sensation without diluting the flavor, smell or that beautiful creamy smoke a nice stogie has

I have tried many drinks with mine fine cigars (and a few of the not so fine ones). From singl malt scotch, Kentucky Bourbon, Tennessee whisky, coffee, soda. What I have found that compliments the taste of my favorite cigar (H Upmann Conn #1) is Diet Rite with Slpenda. I know it sound funny, but that is my best time. Sitting on the deck with bottle of Diet Rite, smoking a Conn #1. Don't knock it til you try it.

Water if it's a cigar I've never tried before, so I'm able to taste it fully. Guinness if it's a stronger cigar.

Water, coffee, or beer... Usually water...

[Cigar Penguin]

Nothing,coffee,scotch,red wine(dry),beer,or brandy......usually in that order.
I usually only must have a drink if the cigar leaves a very dry finish.

Diet Cherry Coke, coffee, tea, Patron Tequila- preferably the Anejo followed by the Repasado, red wine- a good merlot or cab.

I tried water with my smoke today for the first time.
It really does allow ya to enjoy all the taste of your cigar, wasn't left with that strong taste in my mouth like usual when I didn't drink anything or drank coke with the smoke.

Ron Z or Zaya Rum neat or Myers Rum and Coke. Coffee if I smoke in the daytime.
