What do you drink with your stogie?

Grey goose vodka. I keep a bottle just for special occasions that include smoking a cigar (at 30+ bucks for a small bottle, im not getting drunk off that every time!).

They great thing is that, w/ no chaser, it still goes down smooth. And! vodka basically has no taste so it cleans the palate rather well
 
Wow, Impressive post buddy! You know we're all in all the same.. a night hearty beer. Bass, newcastle..... ahhh keep it coming bartender!:D
 
I would love to have this right now, classy or not. Yeungling is an outstanding PA beer.

I have 3 favorites with a cigar: tawny port, mojito and single malt scotch.

I was in a fine wine store and saw they had a nice humidor with some decent cigars in it for sale so I asked for a recommendation. The guy directed me to a nice tawny port and said it went with a cigar like peanut butter and jelly. He was right. Awesome combo.

As I said in another post, I think Cubans invented mojito to go with their cigars and what can I say about single malt scotch other than smooth.

I'll second this. Although I haven't tried a mojito, I usually prefer to drink my rum neat. If it's a good rum, that is.

I just finished a bottle of Graham's Late Bottled Vintage Port, and although it was just a tad too sweet for my taste, it worked really well with a cigar. It seemed to take the "sting" of bitterness out of some of my cigarillos, which was a good thing for me. It might be a bit too overpowering for the mildest cigars, though, but for the most parts I really liked the combo.

I do like the occasional beer with a cigar as well. Milder lagers seems to work well with those mild flavored stogies, whereas a nice heavy stout goes fine with more earthy and robust smokes.

As for the single malts, just about everything goes, except for the ultra-smoky Islay malts. They just seem to be too overpowering for just about any cigar. I do like them, though, and with a "cheapo" cigar (like a "cohibo" or some other fake), they are my favourite.
 
I like to drink anything when I smoke- whiskey, scotch, bourbon, anything of those & coke, gin and tonic, wine, water, pop, coffee. It's very interesting to see how different drinks affect how you taste the cigar or how the pallate is cleansed after smoking.
 
Right now because of where I am at either a NA/beer or some type of soda, but back in the states I really like beer. I am not picky every beer has the moment when drinking it would be right sometimes though it just isn't it's moment. I have been known to drink 1800 sometimes too.
 
Keystone!! or not...haha
I like a good beer with a cigar. I also drink sodas sometimes and I actually really enjoyed the combination of dr pepper w/ the cigar I smoked the other night!
 
I just usually drink water. My palate isn't refined enough yet so if I drink something like coffee, it would overpower the taste of the cigar.
 
Port is great, and I like a good, dark rum as well. Scotch, on the other hand, is often a bit too overpowering, so I don't tend to drink that with cigars. Beer, red wine, coffee and water work for me as well. It's more a question of my mood than anything else.
