cigar and a drink?

**JHAYES6405** · 02-03-2008, 03:41 PM

Just wondering what others prefer to drink with their cigars. Me, I love a White Russian of a Guiness.

Iced coffee for the most part...a nice whiskey with a thick cigar sounds good!

Water, Beer (read real beer, not piss water that comes out of St. Louis), Coffee, Gin

Just about anything...whatever I feel like and have at the moment. Scotch, rum, gin, whiskey, coffee, tea, iced tea, dr. pepper, coke, etc.

Dr. Pepper seems to go very well with most smokes.

Coke or Coffee mostly. Something about vanilla coke in particular really goes well with maduros

For me it's nearly always water. I just can't take to flavours of booze, wine, beer or soft drinks with a cigar or a pipe.

On the rarity I have a morning cigar, it's Espresso or an Americano, or 3.

Go ahead and say it. You want Canadian beer.

I hope you meant "white russian OR a Guinness".

For me, it's all about Coke or bourbon (neat).

Coke or black coffee.
Simple is good.

The most amazing cigar/drink combination I've encountered was a RP Vintage '90 Torpedo with a glass of Jonesey Tawny Port.

So...try Port wine.

OK, that does it, I'm stopping by the liquor store and pick up a bottle of Jonesey today!

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.

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.

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.

**mrtr33** · 07-27-2009, 10:39 AM

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.

Me Too. I like most any drink with Kahlua or other coffee liqueur with a cigar. I think that coffee and cigars compliment each other. Or maybe it's the double whammy of caffeine and nicotine.

My second choice is a shot of Patron or Tres Amigos to wake up whats left of my taste buds.

**ashauler** · 02-04-2008, 11:02 AM

Coffee almost all the time.....good old H20, and the once in a while beer. I have been getting closer and closer to trying scotch and cognac since I've read so much about them being good matches for cigars.
