cigar and a drink?

**wild** · 02-06-2008, 02:39 AM

Espresso Imperial Stout with CAO MX2
Stone Smoked Porter with AVO (Alaska's will fail half way through the cigar)
Oak Aged Bourbon Porter with Camacho Triple Maduro
Still working on new combos.

Better yet...there is a delightful drink for delicious cigars, sumptious sips for swallowing
with smooth cigars and boastful beverages for benevolent beauties. Gents... have you
noticed that certain drinks go better at designated times of the day, circumstances and
cigars. Mimosas in the morning on a deck overlooking a forest, beers on the boat,
vodka on the course, brandy in the evening. It is well known that our beverage of choice
is more than capable of enticing the old taste buds to explore new heights in the smoke
that we may not have experienced before. Pure enjoyment all the way around and down
to the last ash.:smiley41

Hey Ash, Tolkien wants his vernacular back.

I drink my port at room temp. Jonesy Tawny Port (my favorite) can be had for about $10.99 here.

So...try Port wine.

I purchased a bottle of "Dow's 10 Tawny Porto" last evening. Enjoyed 2 fingers with a Hemingway Short Story. Both with a hint of earthyness, they make a great after dinner combo.

Most of the time it's Coffee, Beer, Coke/Bourbon or Whiskey, or lastly Scotch. Now, it's a 12 Glennfiddick with a CAO MX2

I plan on pairing some port wine with a RP Decade this weekend. That CAO MX2/GlenFiddich combo sounds interesting too.

As you can see I like to chug a beer before and after every cigar.

Guys - I'm at a party last night and the ladies are debating which hors' deuvre
(aka - snacks) do we like best. We guys were a little preoccupied with our smokes,
but I told the gals I would get back to them with a larger consensus of opinion.
So...how about it, what little nibbler is your favorite? I am a little partial to shrimp
or bacon-wrapped anything.

A good amber, like Sam Adams Boston Lager or Elliot Ness from Great Lakes Brewery.

I haven't had much good experiences drinking beer and enjoying a good cigar - at least not if I want to enjoy the taste of each separately. But I'm interested in trying out a few of the combinations suggested in this thread.

I enjoy either a scotch or a port. I'm a big fan of the Jonesey Port as well, but I've also enjoyed Irish Cream, such as O'Maras. I really enjoy the milky-sweet taste with the spiciness of cigars I normally enjoy.

Hey have you been there? I actually fed that goat. He was honorable mayor or something. I think he may have died though since.

scotch is my drink of choice. Port would be a distant second. I rarely drink beer with my cigars but sometimes when its hot and there are no mojitos.

**here'sjohnny** · 03-15-2009, 06:11 PM

I generally drink coke or coffee depending on the season, however i picked up a bottle of Elijah Craig 12 yr. bourbon last night that i am anxious to pare with different cigars.

Crown or on the rocks or cutting the edge with a little coke is lovely with a good stick.

Definitely one of my favorite combos. I find coke by itself to be a bit too sweet (I like Root Beer or Dr. Pepper) but cut with some Crown its perfect.

**Nub464** · 05-11-2009, 07:34 AM

Rum and coke...or Gin and Tonic are my favorites. Although I did really enjoy a Heineken with a Gurkha Beast recently! Very good combination to me!

Something worth checking out are the single village Mezcals from Del Maguey. Unlike tequila where the agave is roasted in autoclaves the Del Maguey Mezcals are from agave pinas roasted in pits over heated stones and plant fibers so they take on a smokiness reminiscent of a good Islay malt. In the summer a full-bodied smoke, a camp fire and a glass of Del Maguey Chichicapa or Minero is pure heaven.

Otherwise it's the usual Scotch, Bourbon, Espresso or Coca-Cola.
