The Smoke & Drink Combo

[Deeks]

When I started smoking cigars, I'd pair whatever CC I had with a glass of decent scotch.

Nowadays though, I'm starting to dabble. A CC and coffee is always nice in the morning. A CC and red wine is good too. And my new fave is a CC with a good vodka on the rocks shaken with lemon.

What's your combo?

I like a good espresso with a Partagas Short during the week-end . I usually smoke my CC after a good evening meal with port or single malt .

I often have a drink with my smoke but nothing in peticular that I am pairing - except:

I love my coffee on the way to work with a Punch Petite or Monti Purito.

Coffee hot or iced, beer, and often times nothing. I've mentioned before that I don't care for red wine with cigars. Personally, I feel that

cigar smoke brings out and exaggerates the tannin of red wine, killing the wine's flavor.

A crisp white works for me, and I'm still looking forward to trying a sparkling white with a cigar.

I'm quite different that most people I think. I actually don't smoke and drink ever at the same time. When I say I don't drink I mean drink liquor. I like an ice cold glass of ice tea or lemonade or fruit punch.

I LOVE a Siglo I or Trini Reyes with a great cup of coffee. It just starts the morning beautifully.

If I'm smoking CC's and I want something other than water, Krug or Bollinger is first choice, second choice is a very watered JW scotch. If I'm drinking and having a smoke, I stick to the NC's and drink whatever is offered.

I'm a beer man. Plain & simple. I wish my pallet was more refined, but it's not. I can appreciate a good red wine(whatever that means). Scotch, forget it it's like gasoline to me.

Double espresso with a BCE.

[PointSource]

In the morning, Partagas Short or Monte 4 with coffee.

Later......Bolivar Royal Corona with Lagavulin 16 single malt scotch.

As the weather turns a little cooler here thoughts turn to an after dinner port and a Boli CJ

Non-alcoholic: Water

Alcoholic: Rum or a blonde ale

[Taino]

Rum or Single Malt with CC... perfecto!

[Guest rob]

Coffee - generally espresso. Sometimes with milk.

Though I often have Coke Zero or water as well.

[Stalebread]

As the weather gets nicer I occasionally sit on the terrace of a local cafe and have a cigar mid-morning, I go with a pot of tea. Mostly, though, I smoke in the afternoon when I still go with hot tea.

Water,Coffee,Desert wine or port most of the time ...

Never any Great Wine as cigars and them dont mix you will not taste all the flavors of the wine and the cigar will over power it.

Bolivar Beli Fino w/ San Pelligrino orange or lemon flavored sparkling water

Partagas with Pina Colada

All else: Coffee, water

[Habanos2000]

I usually smoke my cigars without a drink, I try to focus on the cigar alone. Although I have enjoyed a few Cuervo Reserva de la Familia tequila's on occasion.

Coffee in the morning, Port or Pedro Ximenez Sherry later in the day.
