Have you tried the Maker's Mark cigars. Very light in character (prob. due to the Dominican toacco on them), but really quite a nice flavor from the Maker's Mark in them.

Thanks for the nod of acknowledgement there AF MAN. Although light, this is the only cigar I ever smoked that I gave the first one I tried a 10 out of 10!!
Of course subsequent ones never really measured up, and my taste buds did change, and what I smoked did change, and so on. But I still do remember how these cigars did impress me. [Again, don't be surprised to find them very light in character.]

Coffee, it makes even a horrible cigar acceptable. I good fresh ground coffee with cream really can take the edge off a bitter cigar. I also like dark beer, if you are looking for a great dark beer to try go with a Samuel Smith Taddy Porter. I always tell people drinking a Taddy is like drinking beer, drinking coffee, and smoking a cigar at the same time. Add a real cigar and it is even better!

Fresh born chimp here. Been wasting money on sticks for years, though.

I tend to like drinks with some sweetness to 'em.

Hmm..... First choice, cigar or no, Rusty Nail. With friends on Friday nights after dinner, Taylor Fladgate 10 year old Tawny Port (cheap but high quality).

Then, in no particular order:
Highland Park Single Malt Scotch
Amaretto de Saronno
Tanqueray and tonic
Southern Comfort

Coffee or Diet Coke on teetotaler nights. I read somewhere that rootbeer is a good choice, but never tried it.

Go-to 'gars:
La Gloria Cubana Serie R #5
Cohiba XV 660
CAO Criollo
Heartpumper

Coffee in the morning with a mild cigar. Ice water at lunch with whatever cigar. Jack Daniels and coke in the evening with whatever cigar.

Pabst. (but i'm broke). Don't reccomend it. But if you leave a bit in the can, you can pour it over your Thompsons!

Anyone in the NW want to second my recommend of Mac & Jack's African Amber? Very sweet beer. Excellent. Thick. Wonderfu.

Rum on the rock's drinkers: I've only had Bacardi straight, and wanted to die. It DOES get better than that, yes? (things are getting very very warm in Seattle, send rum) What are other not-too-sweet rum drinks?

I like Capt. Morgans Private stock over the rocks better than Scotch at the present moment. It is spicy and sweet.

Also; Welcome to the jungle.

Thanks Pete. I'll give it try. I find their ad-campagins to be a bit too coors-lite-ish. But with the spice, I can see where it would combine well.

[viesturs]

Single malt scotch or HC 7yr. Sometimes some red wine

Ok, so I clearly have to invest in some new rums. Shit. Damn damn damn.

New sig line from tonight: "A fair cigar will improve your bad wine more than your good wine fix my crap stick."
Thanks KMH.

[hijack]

Ok, I can vouch for Sailor Jerry Rum. Good stuff. Sweet, mild, not too much spice, but enough. Damn fine run.

Here are a couple of my favorite accompanying beverages:

Knob Creek (neat)
Wild Turkey 101 (neat)
Captain Morgan's Silver (neat)
coffee (hot or iced)
Diet Dr. Pepper
cold water

1. Port ---85 Vintages and 95 - 98 LBVs are drinking beautifully right now. Match this up with an EL and you'll think you went to heaven.

2. Single Malt Scotch Whisky - from the Lowlands with an Epi 2 to the Islay Malts with a Cohiba DC EL and many wonderful stops on the way between these 2.

3. Cognac - especially after a special dinner -

4. Bourbon - goes well with a cigar all the time.
