Scotch on the rocks or a good whiskey. little sips big draws :s

Ice water. I love just to taste the tobacco. I don't want a drink to mar, or alter the taste of the cigar.

[cigar no baka]

Depends on my mood or time of day.


Coffee

Diet Pepsi, Diet Peach Snapple

Fat Tire beer

The Macallen 12 year single malt scotch.

alas, i don't know the flavor of madagascar vanilla -- but i do think i could taste the tobacco better.

Dunkin Donuts Coffee or Merot, once in awhile a beer will do, usually when i'm golfing

Homebrew Mead would be my first choice after that it's a toss up depending on time and place.

Lately it has been Iced Coffee from Dunkin Donuts

Lemonade or just plain ice water.It has been hot as a son of a &^%& lately.

[Nooner]

Beer, Water, Port, Margarita, Gatoraid, Hard Cider(my favorite), Red Wine, Iced Tea, Soda(usually Dr Pepper, Coke or Cherry Coke), Whiskey(I like Elijah Craig), Vodka(Tito's or Belvedere)...


Um, I think those are most of the things I drink with my cigars!!!

[carbonbased_al]

Ice water, a single malt, or a gin and tonic. Mostly water lately though.

All sorts of different drinks. But if I'm smoking a cigar I've never had before I'll keep a glass of water near to clense the pallete - I find this allows me to get a true insight on how the cigar tastes all on it's own.

I like a Jack/coke or a darker brew with my sticks. I havent tried any wines yet....maybe this weekend

[snrscnr2003]

I will sometimes drink a corona with mine but mainly drink a good soda like Dr. Pepper man I like it that way good stuff and relaxing too

My favorite drink with a stogie is Coca-Cola Classic. For whatever reason, I find that Coke just complements a cigar superbly. If I am consuming alcoholic beverage, I prefer to drink a beer like Henninger (Germany) or Heineken with my smokes. Not much of a wine or hard liquor guy, but I'll have my moments.

Anyone else hate having any carbonated beverage with their stogie?? Personally i like to go with water when ever i am smoking a cigar for the first time. Water lets you taste the cigar and not what your drinking. as far as alcohol goes, its a little hard to get your hands on when your 19 but from what i have had in the privacy of my own home, a nice glass of whiskey on the rocks goes good. I'm trying to get my hands on some Elijah Criag, which has been recommended to me several times and the 12 year old seems to be on the cheap side.

I like scotch and bourbon...can't decide if I prefer one or the other. I find that the cigar between sips of Macallan 18yr single malt neat brings out the sherrywood finish a little more than w/o the cigar. My normal drink is Jim Beam Black, but Wild Turkey 101 is just grand, but like another here, my favorite bourbon is Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage.

Coffee is another great compliment to cigars that I enjoy.

I have only seen one mention of tea as a companion drink. I drink my tea like my whiskey...straight, nothing added. Black tea, cool (not iced) is a great palate cleanser and it makes each puff taste new between sips. I haven't tried green tea yet, but expect it would also be a good pairing.
