Nice survey, Ken!

I usually have a glass of Cognac or Rum in hand simply due to the climate and company in which I often find myself smoking; however, I agree that a good glass of champagne, amontillado or oloroso sherry are more complimentary. Personally I find most Scotch Whisky to be an ill-fated companion to a good cigar, each bringing out the worst in the other in my opinion; however I find a smooth Kentucky Bourbon with a little age to be quite complimentary.

PS-- We REALLY have to talk Burgundy some time :-)

sounds fantastic but i suspect that by the time courier and govt fees and taxes got to it - ours are outrageous - i'd have to mortgage the house. but thanks for thinking of me.
