That's a bit harsh don't you think?

Re: Drink of choice with a cigar

A cup of hot tea went very well with my last cigar. It helped me taste the cigar, and the smoke added some flavor to the tea.

I go with boring old water! It just goes well with cigars, who knows why.

Re: Drink of choice with a cigar

Lately I've been pairing my cigars with Squirt, Fresca or lemondade. The tartness clears the palate but nonr of the aforementioned drinks linger in the mouth.
That being said I find most drinks pair well with cigars if you're in the mood for them.
Rum (any decent sort) goes very well as does single malts. I think it has to do with their unique tastes but that's just my thought.

count me in as a drunk then .. rum, single malt, red wine, all is good with cigars .. generally I drink what fits my mood at the time of smoking, be it water, coke, or any of the beverages mentioned before - sometimes I even drink water AND alcohol at the same time - I'm a looney, I know

I am in the same boat as you though (being under 21, and yes, it sucks ) so I dont usually drink anything with a cigar. Had water a few times, but it doesn't really add anything to the cigar and starts to taste weird after a little while (the water that is).

I'm not a big soda person either, so that is part of the reason I don't really drink anything with cigars. Also I am still developing my palate for cigars, so I dont want to overpower it with a drink.

Anyways I'd recommend you experiment with a few diff drinks and see what appeals to you (try coffee or a soda of your choice first).
For both of you I would recommend a sparkling water (you know the kind that is common in Europe). For me it is the best drink you can have if you cant have booze with a cigar. It cleanses the palette and cuts down on the nicotine aftertaste for me.

I will have to try Root beer, IBC. Cherry Dr. Pepper isn't to bad.

Re: Drink of choice with a cigar

I drink socially but for some reason I don't enjoy cigars with alcohol. Maybe I'm not an aficionado yet. I like plain iced water or a diet coke.

Re: Drink of choice with a cigar

When I'm not pairing up with some style of dark beer its usually coffee and its many variables - mocha, latte, flavored creams, etc...

Re: Drink of choice with a cigar

Still experimenting. I had a Guiness with a Mac Ascot and it didn't go well together. Had the same cigarillo with lemonade and it was great!

Do darker/stronger drinks go better with stonger cigars and vice versa?

I really like sipping whisky or scotch with a maduro!
