cigar and a drink?

[SMEG]

i prefer a nice maduro cigar with coffee w/shot of bailey's

Been drinking a lot from the Omegang brewery near Cooperstown, NY (baseball hall of fame). I've found the strong flavors have matched up to some of the stronger smokes I've been into recently.

I now only have two, depending on the mood:

Coffee - very strong, sometimes chicory, sometimes iced, and with heavy whipping cream.

Port - my favorite so far is Fonseca Bin 27. I have, in the past, enjoyed Jonesey, but I find it a bit too sweet for my tastes. I need to try some more.

I used to enjoy scotch with a cigar, and still like scotch, but I find that I can't enjoy either to the fullest together, as much as I enjoy them separately.

I feel the same way, I always wind up focusing more on one than the other. I'll still have a cigar with scotch, but I make sure it's a yard gar for blowing smoke. Anything good, and I keep it separate.

I bought a bottle of port last night for the online herf. Not really a wine drinker and never had port before. I purchased a bottle of Cockburn's Fine Ruby for about $13. Definitely wasn't bad. I still prefer beer but I might buy a bottle or two more of port and keep in the cellar.

I definitely felt a little more refined smoking a cigar and drinking port. Now I just need a good smoking outfit.

Mornings - Irish Coffee - splash of Bushmills, Baileys, and a little brown sugar

Afternoon - Dark beers . . . I hate making love in a canoe beer . . .

Evenings - I prefer premium Bourbons to Scotch - Maker's Mark, 1792, Woodford Reserve, Elijah Craig, Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, etc. Or Irish, like Tully's, or Black Bush, or Jameson's. Just not a big scotch drinker.

I am, however, going to try port . . . about the only wine I really like is muscadine wine.

Don't know about the smoking outfit, or that Cockburn's.

Try: Fonseca Bin 27, Six Grapes, almost anything by Sandeman (the cheap stuff is fine) or Jonsey. All of those bottles can be found in the $10 - $25 range, aren't too sweet, and should give you a good start to port. I find it a really nice complement to a cigar.

Avoid Christian Brothers.

Now I just need a good smoking outfit.

Huh. And here I thought I was the only one who had a secret longing to own a smoking jacket.


Can anyone recommend a good, dry to semi-dry port? All this talk of it has got me wanting to try some, but I can't really get into the sweeter wines.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have to look for those the next time i stop by the state store.
