Re: Pairing cigars and wine?
The only wine that I tend to drink with cigars is Port. I am not a collector of wine at all, so I find my favorite easiest combo is an aged Bolivar with some Fonseca Bin #27 Porto, Dale. Just pairs well in my opinion.

I am a simpleton.

If you drink a heavy/full bodied wine, smoke a full bodied cigar.

IMO, Pinot Noir is a great pairing for a spicy cigar (ex. Pepin Blue)

EXCELLENT PAIRING. I might also add that at a slightly higher price point that the Warre's Otima 10 year tawny pairs well with most strong cigars and some not so strong including Boli PCs and RASCCs.

Re: Pairing cigars and wine?
Thanks Tom. I have a port and some 2000 Boli coronas that I might try out.

I'll second the Warre's Otima - absolutely delicious, and in a very cool bottle.

Warre (pronounced like the act of WAR)

Warre Otima is a good tawny. I'd would put it on my top 5 or so easily available tawny. I do not like the odd size bottles and feel that it is not a very good deal, but oh well. Warre makes an elegant style of port.

Re: Pairing cigars and wine?
Cigars usually kill the taste of most wines. Port is the only wine pairing strong enough in my opinion that can hold up to a stogie.

Re: Pairing cigars and wine?
I had a 2001 VR Clasico with some vintage port this weekend. I didn't pay attention to which port it was, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as sticky, sweet as the one I had tasted before. They worked pretty well.

When the port ran out, we switched to cognac which worked well too.
