Dark rum is perfect with a cigar ... if there's none around, I will settle for a good beer.

COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE!!

When drinking alcohol I prefer dark beer. Can't stand whiskey, fruity drinks, wine, etc..
Surprisingly I've never tried a good rum with a cigar, but I could see that being very enjoyable.

[UpInSmoke]

Yes, dark beer works very well. I had a Kwak beer (dark Belgian) yesterday with my smoke and it really enhanced the flavor.

I like beer. But, it has to be one that isn't too hoppy. I love IPAs but the hop bitterness combats the cigar. A nice malty, understated ale is just about perfect. Such as Fat Tire Amber Ale. Mmmmmm, ale.....

Most of the time a drink beer (prefer rum though) Ever had Moose head?? It is a sweet lager that goes good with a full bodied or spicey stick. Corona goes well with many cigars .

Well, I happen to be a bit of a beer snob! I have had Moose Head (long time ago) but I prefer ales to domestic lagers. I also homebrew so that is really my ultimate preferred beverage!!! But, the best beer is free beer.

Amen, brother!!

Oh no, not Corona !!! [words of another beer snob]
Unless that one is kept entirely in the dark (pretty much impossible if you're buying from a liquor store), it spoils very quickly. There's a reason for beer generally being sold in dark bottles. Why do you think they suggest you have a lime with it?

Alert! Thread hijacking! I didn't really want to get into this but Corona has a multitude of problems. The brewery is 50% owned by Anheseur Busch so the push to be the "King of Beers of Mexico" is a little disconcerting. Clear glass=bad, skunked out beer. 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 100% Corona is what Mexico exports to us Americans...Tecate and Negro Medello are excellent Beers from South of the Border.

[sgoselin]

Bourbon.

[mr.c]

Corona you either like it or hate it, catch a lot of flak when I drink it in bars for the same reasons above. I have not had a skunked corona yet (how can you tell if its bad anyways ) I like it, dont buy it too often, has a uniqe taste to it.

Negro Medello great beer, tecate =

Anyone have a drink selection for a Punch Punch that I will be toasting up tonite ???????????????????


Great thread so far !!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Pepper! Always, Dr. Pepper - with the possible deviation to kaulah (sp?)and cream (WARNING: NEVER drink Kaluah and cream with a cheap stick, you will never forget the flavor.... )

[Lamar]

I'm with Goose on this one, nothing beats a good Bourbon with a great stick. Wild Turkey when money is tight, Van Winkle when its not.
