Favorite drink & smoke pairings

[tx_tuff]

If I'm at the cigar lounge or bar its always some kind of bourbon, my fav right now is Eagle Rare 10 year single barrel. If at home or driving I split between water and diet soda, rootbeer being the best of that bunch. It doesn't matter what I'm smoking. Oh and I do like Red Wine with Anejos.

Irish cream goes well with anything!!! Especially good with coffee.

I've found that some good old southern Sweet Tea goes well with any cigar. We also have down here is charleston a sweet tea Vodka, one word OUTSTANDING. All the flavor off sweet tea with warmth of Vodka. Just seems to work. I also like Twany Port or any port with full body cigars.

If I go with alcohol, I will pair my smokes with a port or a cognac. Sometimes a beer. I have yet to venture into the wine area so maybe I will try that sometime soon.

No alcohol is coffee, water, coffee, coffee, or water. Sometimes coffee. (I like coffee cant you tell?)

Everything goes with Jack Daniels

I'm also a big fan of a glass of bourbon with my cigar. I usually have that or whatever homebrew I happen to have on tap at the time. When I go to the B&M I have a coffee.

I like to have a nice Smithwicks or a glass of Bailey's on the rocks with some smokes. Sometimes its just a soda or an espresso.

coffee, Jack or Johnnie are all good

In Vegas:
Arturo Fuente Anejo #77 Shark... A Casa Fuente Mojito served by one of the lovely ladies in their linen dresses...

If not in Vegas:
Black coffee, dark beers, Zacapa Rum or single malts scotch depending on the smoke..

Oh yeah, cream soda and root beer still are my go to's when I don't have good beer... or have to drive anywhere. Otherwise it's a good belgian beer, usually hoegarden or the like. But like a bottle of 1919 or some Frost Top root beer... can't go wrong in my book.

Honestly, I think any good bottle of whiskey or bourbon or rum above 28.99 goes good with a nice maduro.. lately I had this Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Whiskey and that was just savory with my CAO Criollo, But I had a bottle of red wine the other day, (Cab Sav) and it really brought out the flavor in my Padilla Corojo quite a bit.

If I can't have alcohol, then diet soda seems to go well with any cigar.

If I don't have to walk the straight and narrow, then I want good bourbon. Too many to list, but I really like Woodford's Reserve and Gentleman Jack.

For me it's Wild Turkey and Diet Coke. If I'm feeling festive I'll throw in a twist of lime.

P.S.
I saw this llama and I had to post it. 1, 3, 5, 3, 4, 2, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 3, 4, 2, 1 !!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, a little adendum to my earlier post... you have to mix half scotch and half butterscotch.

Cigars go great with Drambuie or Amarula.
