What do you drink with your stogie?

[SFCEd]

I enjoy Jack Daniel's with my cigars but in order too have more funds for cigars I have been experimenting with Makers Mark on the rocks and beer, Like Guiness Killian's Irish Red and Pilsner. All of them work for me. I agree with the anti-corona statements, It's skunky! I've had the same problem with Heineken too.

Doesn't Makers Mark cost more than Jack? I found that a corona with a slice of lime (which is fine by itself) totally ruins a cigar.

I agree fredster, no lime for me either. Ruins everything.

I'll triple the motion on the lime. Anytime I drink anything with lime in it (rum.coke.lime, Tecate.lime, etc.) it ruins the cigar.

I think it's because the citric acids in the lime mixed on the tounge with the tobacco leaves.. na, I'm making shit up. I have no idea why limes ruin cigars, but IMO they do.

That might be so somewhere else but not where I'm from. For some reason I can buy it for a few dollars less here. Anyone ever tried Makers Mark cigars?

A nice glass of straight Woodford Reserve Bourbon. Or if you have to go driving around, go for a coffee.

Lots of advertising=very expensive skunked out beer. If I was laying in the sun and someone gave me a Corona, I'd be thrilled but I wouldn't buy it myself. There are much better quality selections out there for the $$$. But, again, drink what you like. If it is beer it is better than water!!!

I agree. I used to be big on Corona util I tried XX and Red Stripe.

Now on to the main subject of the post. I like to drink scotch when I can. For those of you that drink rum, do you drink it on the rocks or neat? Also can you recomend a good premium rum?

On the rocks.

Zaya, it's great.

Mo... Have to try that one... When I smoke - I smoke... When I drink - I drink.
I don't usually mix them unless I am out somewhere. At home on the porch a glass of cola will usually last me a good cigar...
