I like a good Bass Pale Ale or Newcastle Brown. Nothing tastes better with a cigar than British beers.

Coffee and good old H2O! Maybe the occasional soda.

Grey goose vodka. I keep a bottle just for special occasions that include smoking a cigar (at 30+ bucks for a small bottle, im not getting drunk off that every time!).

They great thing is that, w/ no chaser, it still goes down smooth. And! vodka basically has no taste so it cleans the palate rather well

I have 3 favorites with a cigar: tawny port, mojito and single malt scotch.

I was in a fine wine store and saw they had a nice humidor with some decent cigars in it for sale so I asked for a recommendation. The guy directed me to a nice tawny port and said it went with a cigar like peanut butter and jelly. He was right. Awesome combo.

As I said in another post, I think Cubans invented mojito to go with their cigars and what can I say about single malt scotch other than smooth.

I am in to Knob Creek at the moment.

I'll second this. Although I haven't tried a mojito, I usually prefer to drink my rum neat. If it's a good rum, that is.

I just finished a bottle of Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port, and although it was just a tad too sweet for my taste, it worked really well with a cigar. It seemed to take the "sting" of bitterness out of some of my cigarillos, which was a good thing for me. It might be a bit too overpowering for the mildest cigars, though, but for the most parts I really liked the combo.

I do like the occasional beer with a cigar as well. Milder lagers seems to work well with those mild flavored stogies, whereas a nice heavy stout goes fine with more earthy and robust smokes.

As for the single malts, just about everything goes, except for the ultra-smoky Islay malts. They just seem to be too overpowering for just about any cigar. I do like them, though, and with a "cheapo" cigar (like a "cohibo" or some other fake), they are my favourite.
