My new favorite morning pairing is a Juan Lopez Seleccion #2 and a nice cup of coffe with no sugar. Mmmmmmm, nothing better than a great morning cigar.

My other favorite is a Partagas Black or Cifuentes with a glass of Gentleman Jack Whiskey. Jack Daniels..... the old standby. Hasn't let me down yet

C'mon everybody weigh in.

My list:
Port - works well with almost all cigars. Something like a Graham's Six Grapes or Croft Distinction
Red Wine - I find an Argentina Malbec (Trapiche) goes well as do many Chilean wines
Grand Marnier - seem to work best with fuller cigars
Aged Rum

Grand Marnier? Hmmm...... I never thought about that before. Sounds like it might be an interesting combination. I think I'll try it this weekend. Thanks Dave.

....Great combo -- especially with a solid smoke like a Padron or Opus.

It's basically my Friday night routine. Add a double shot of Espresso and I'm in heaven.

I like the bourbon - Bookers, Evan Williams Single Barrel, Wild Turkey Rare Breed.
I like the beer - Long Trail Hit the Trail, Long Trail Double Bag.
I like the coffee - Starbucks French or Espresso roast.
I like the wine - good reds.

I smoke a lot of Padrons with these combos. It depends on the mood or availability. I can't wait for the weekend now.

Personally I like coffee with cigars.

Now regular brewed coffee works with the mild-medium blends pretty good but a Triple expresso (have my own machine) works better especially with the stronger smokes. THen again this is my personal preference and everybody's is usually somewhat different.

In the morning it's coffee and something on the medium side just to jumpstart the day. In the evenings after work. a nice strong maduro and Buffalo Trace or Maker's Mark.

I have a bottle of Bookers along with a number of others but that stuff knocks me on my rear. I hate to water down good liquor, and I don't ice them (straight up baby), but with the Bookers, I may have to make an exception.

I love the strength of the Bookers. Sometimes I ice it but usually prefer straight out of the freezer. And I do have to be careful about how much of this I knock back or else I get knocked back. Some of you know what I mean.

You know I've been thinking of pairing up a nice small glass of Jagr while smoking a Partagas Cifuentes. I don't know it sounds interesting. Anybody ever had some Jagr while smoking?

[ChiTwnSmoke]

Jager is great while smoking....I save it for those special nights, but on the rocks it is great. Try it...it compliments a cigar nicely!

[LasciviousXXX]

Cool thanx ChiTown,

I think I'll try that. It sounds nice.

[AF MAN]

AF Anejos #77 and several ounces of Blantons Bourbon on a cool fall evening,or maybe tonight.

[levell3]

A warm glass of milk and a fine havana, nothing is better.
On a serious note, probably a rum and coke or a vodka and tonic.

[Wetterhorn]

A glass of Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey over ice and a Partagas - Lusitanias. Mmmmm, good!

My Choices:

1) Tequila

2) Beer
