cigar and a drink?

[DeeDubya]

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

I haven't been out in that area lately. But yes, when we go to Big Bend we usually make a run through Lajitas, Terlingua, and beyond.

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.

I haven't tried the Del Maguey Tequilas but have enjoyed other aged Tequila's. On the rocks it can be as good or better than a premium whiskey. You don't have to shoot Tequila to enjoy it. Just sip it.

I really shouldn't be drinking tequila, in any shape or form. I won't even touch margaritas.

It's the salt, lime and sugar that eat away at your stomach and cause ulcers. The Tequila, well it just makes you happy.

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.

Maybe in the case of the margaritas; but I would only shoot straight - no chaser, no lime, no salt, no nothing. Maybe a drink of water.

I've had a few, um, officers of the law recommend that I no longer partake of this agave-based spirit.

But I digress. Perhaps if I would stop drinking the tequila that you could also use as gasoline, I wouldn't have had such a bad experience. I've grown a bit since - maybe I should give it another try.

I love a drink + cigar. If I'm driving later, I'll have an iced coffee (thanks to Ausfailia's provisional driving laws I have to be absolutely 0.00%), if not, I'll have a rum and coke please barman. Make it a cold one.

[knightnorth]

Usually it's coffee or Dogfish beer for me - but the other day I was driving and I picked up a lipton iced tea. It really complimented the La Corona like nothing I've tried before. Just a weird thing different drinks bringing out different cigars. Made the experience really good.

I bought a box of Padron Serie 1926 80th's for when I come home on leave. Since I haven't had a drop of alcohol in 11 months due to working in Iraq, I was curious as to what would go well with it.

Any recommendations?

I'd recommend your favorite beverage. I would think you would want your time go e to be as pleasant as possible. Don't ruin it with a drink you might not enjoy.

X 2. If you are a Scotch drinker, I would suggest Balvenie double wood as a good partner for this stick.

I like a nice, strong cup of french press coffee, with some heavy whipping cream. That's what I'd drink with one of those.

I enjoyed some IBC Cream Soda last night with my cigar. It was a very pleasant combination.

I've had a few Leinenkugels Original's with a few smokes recently and it seems to pair nicely with milder and sweeter cigars. It's a very nice summer combo.

I found either Jagermeister on the rocks or Crown on the rocks does it for me when enjoying a good cigar.

[Bkcloud114]

I am enjoying a nice glass of port right now with a cigar..... ahhhh

[ChristopherS]

yes agree with that too. Any brand? I enjoy a Brights 74.. 10 year. It is cheap and good!

Tonight I'll be enjoying a smoke from the recent Don Tuto split, along with some Gran Patron Platinum. No, I don't normally roll like that, the bottle was a gift from a generous friend. I can't bring myself to drop $190 on a bottle of booze. Normally it's maybe a $50 scotch at most, but my everyday working-man scotch is Teacher's. The woody/smoky flavor goes well with a cigar.

[SMEG]

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

[Rugbysh9]

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.
