good wine with cigars?

[wrath186]

I always like a nice Port. Bin #27 is always good. Genraly I prefer a single malt.

I agree with you there. For mild to medium cigars I prefer an Islay or Speyside scotch. For the bolder cigars Highland or Lowland seems to be better.

Also, I have tried several scotches and found that you don't need to spend a ton on a good single malt. I have a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue which, while very good, doesn't have the smoothness that a bottle of Longmorn does. The Blue being over $200 a bottle and the Longmorn less than $60. In all fairness though the Blue isn't a single malt strictly speaking.

Actually, it really dpends on many things. Like choosing a wine for a good meal, the beverage you drink with a cigar depends on the cigar. It can also depend on what you just ate as well. If you just got done with a thick juicy steak your cigar/drink choice will be different than if you had a light meal.

Generally I like a rum and coke, striaght rum, or a double Crown Royal on the rocks with many of the cigars I smoke. Sometimes it is a good merlot.

However, remember that I am new to cigars and this is merely what I have found to be true for me. The most improtant thing to remember is that the best is what YOU enjoy not what everyone else says is the best.
