alcahol with cigars

I had a Fat Tire Beer with an AF Sun Grown Belicoso last night. It was an awesome combo.

wow, i had one of those, too that someone sent me.



i don't like alcohol with cigars. i used to drink wine until i tried mineral water with my smokes. i drink espresso sometimes with strong cigars and if its not too late.

squirt and southern comfort

I think that would overpower anything . . . even the ability to keep my dinner down.

Fat Tire is great with a good maduro. If you are smoking a natural, I've found that Bud Select is a great complimentary drink for those. Also, try the Dalmore cigar malt straight with a heavy maduro.

For me, if I'm drinking, it's usually Stolichnaya (vodka). Pravda, Kettle One, General Stark (a new one out of NH made with apples) and Quotes are good vodkas too. Try it. Many people think I'm nuts, but I think vodka can pair well with a cigar. Yes, vodka. It has to be a good vodka and it has to be ice cold. Not crap llike Smirnoff. Also I can go for a good Scotch or Whisky.

At times I have noticed that alcohol can ruin the taste of a cigar for me.

But I have no particular favorite combos as I usually prefer to drink nothing when I smoke.

Beer of course goes well as does coffee.

I like to sip a fine Tequila (Padron Anejo, Suave Patria Anejo, etc.) while smoking a good medium to full bodied smoke. They just seem to go hand in hand - very complimentary of one another.

I've had some nice wines that go well - lighter (such as Savignon Blancs) don't overpower most of the cigars I smoke. Martini's are great as well (usually, a lighter flavor to them - MMAB - I like the Vodka idea - works for me too!)

Just tried Cragganmore 12 yr old scotch the other day with an Opus X - very nice combo. Both have a complex flavor that seemed to bounce off one another, making it a very enjoyable experience. It was funny, because I wasn't sure if the Opus would overpower the Scotch, or vice versa. No such thing...

If I drink a beer with a cigar, it's usually something like Blue Moon, which seems to be light enough to not wipe out the cigar flavor.

Lighter cigars I smoke with water so I don't lose the subtle flavors.

The combo that I had the other day that was just fanstastic was the new Drew Estates Java with a Pepsi - was like desert!!! Very nice...

just stated in another thread im only 20 so i cant legally drink. but believe it or not i like a cold bud light. it doesnt over power and adds to the flavor. in my opinion.
