brazoseagle Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 coffee, Red Wine, Porto, Rum and coke Nice, I have been loving coffee with my cigars more and more lately, and especially as it get cooler here in Texas. During the summer when you wake up and it's already 100F, coffee is usually the last thing you want. I loathe Starbucks, but I was at one the other day with my wife on our way home from shopping, and so I went in and decided coffee sounded good, I had already planned on lighting up a nice cigar when I got home. I noticed they had some new (i only noticed because they were marked as new) items on the menu. A whole line of salted caramel flavors. I love salted caramel, so I ordered a salted caramel mocha coffee. Took it home and lit up a Trinidad T, It was like magic!!! Now the salt in the salted caramel does many magical things to your taste buds for many foods, most well know is the pairing with dark chocolate. The salt exaggerates the chocolate taste like a pure choco explosion. Well, that's also what it did to the tobacco. The salty notes in the coffee complimented the tobacco so well, I had never tasted such a great pure taste from a cigar in my life....It's worth a shot, I highly recommend trying it.
kmagurk Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 coffee, beer, wine and a ted kennedy(scotch & murky water)
mazolaman Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 In no particular order Timothy Taylor Landlord pale ale, A good Claret, Islay whisky. A good Mojito.
bob Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Bourbon (Woodford is my standard, but I love so many)...Scotch (reach for Balvenie usually)..(neat and neat), brandy/cognac, champagne, coffee...you know what...I absolutely love beer, but I really don't enjoy beer and cigars...lager,ale,stout,porter, etc.... love them all, but I've never found a cigar to play nice with beer. I suppose, to each their own palette preference.
brazoseagle Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 I am getting to where I too prefer Bourbon over Scotch.
Plato Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Anything with vast amounts of ethyl alcohol in it. Amen to that !!! I like rum, scotch, bourbon, port, old fashioners, sazeracs, white Russians. I love beer and red wine. But for some reason in hate pairing them cigars. But that's just my palate...to each their own brother. Mike
rusty Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 order of preference would be be port single malt bourbon stout and throw in a Singapore sling just for fun
Ghabanos Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 To be honest I pref water... Carb or non carb but it must be cold. Then scotch Then sake
sactochris Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 A nice craft beer usually does the trick for me. I'm also partial to a glass of iced coca cola.
dan5974 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Ice water,Scotch,Cognac.Liquor must be neat & room temp.The ice water is the most important-must have with every cigar.I get a tall glass of ice water weather i have any liquor or not.
riazp Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I need to revist my preferences. Right now my go to drinks with a cigar is Coffee, guiness, Hendricks G&T, mojito, Dark Rhum ( El dorado 15 or Legendario)
sighuber Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Coffee with milk, sparkling water with lemon, Maker's Mark bourbon, Don Julio tequila(reposado of course!)
Doctorossi Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Coconut water! Give it a try- especially with a cigar on the drier side.
brazoseagle Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Coconut water! Give it a try- especially with a cigar on the drier side. I agree!!!!
JSPEC Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Fresh Mojito is my fav! But a nice red or some Single Malt ties for second in my books.
ckile2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I have to go with red wine, a good dark rum(recently tried pyrat rum and was very good), or a nice rich coffee. I really could have a much longer list but I will leave it at my top 3.
ptrthgr8 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 My number one go-to drink for any cigar is a rum and diet Coke - I prefer Cruzan Black Strap, though I often do half Black Strap and half Cruzan Aged. With a touch of natural lime juice, of course, on the rocks. And give me a big glass... pint glass will do in a pinch of that's the biggest you've got. I'll drink other things on occasion (coffee, beer, cognac, scotch, bourbon, whatever), but 80% of the time I'm drinking the above. Cheers, ~ Greg ~
