alcahol with cigars

[QuietC]

now i've asked what people like to drink with their cigars, ive never drank alcahol with cigars before, always water. tonight was the first time i drank with one, i smoked a trinidad, and had squirt and southern comfort, and all i could taste was the drink which ruined the cigar, so does this happen to anyone else?

but i think im going to just stick with water with my cigars now.

I was going to ask a simular question. I was going to ask what was best to drink while smoking a stoagie? If anything at all.

[QuietC]

so far, im sticking with water, cuz i can taste the cigar more, maybe wine will be different, since it isnt as strong, im not too sure though, i'd hate to waste another cigar.

[JStrider]

the stronger your drink is the stronger the cigar has to be to not be overwhelmed by the drink

try a good root beer with a cigar sometime, its one of my fav combinations
i recomend Henry Weinhard's Root Beer if you can find it in your area

yeah this trinidad seemed to be mild, from what i could taste, although it was a tight draw, maybe from my humidity. but i'll try once with the wine, and if that takes away from the cigar, i'll just stick with the water. Cuz half the fun for me, is rating the cigar and observing everything the cigar has to offer.

[Kevin76tx]

Why would your humidor cause a tight draw? You mean you have to suck hard, right?

I just drink water when I smoke. I don't like anything to over power the taste of the cigar. I have a few Cognac soak cigars that I like smoking and they taste great, but I don't drink alcohol when I smoke them.
