My ultimate relaxation technique is smoking an Excalibur Prensado while drinking a Jim Beam Black with water while having my feet sitting in the spa. The tastes of the cigar and the Beam go together GREAT! I have only enjoyed it mixed with water or straight though. If you mix it, it tends to be too sweet. The only problem is the Beam is so smooth that I end up having a few at a time and end up smoking a 2nd or 3rd cigar in one sitting. So much for letting 'em age right? Haha.
