What do you drink with your stogie?

i always enjoy a nice red wine with a cigar. also a rum&coke, or even a manhattan.
A nice glass of cognac like a Remy Martin or a Courvoissier XO is a nice complement as well.
 
Bourbon, nothing too spiced however. Also, the only soda I've ever been able to drink with a cigar is DR. Pepper. Must be the 23 flavors. No matter what smoke you got, one of those flavors is in there. If I'm with my wife, champagne is great. I love champagne, mostly cause even the cheap ones arn't to bad, but the cheap wine she buys is brutal. Puts me right to sleep.
 
Usually it's root beer for me, but with the evening temps dropping down in the 40's, and colder temps to come this winter, I may have to go to coffee and hot chocolate.
 
Rum is fine... has to be a good one though... where I come from we get pretty good rum very very cheap.. ... Santa Teresa 1786 is one of the good ones to have with your cigar.. about 20$ a bottle ... me, I personally like better a Cognac or Single Malt with my Cigars...
 
Iced tea, Standard Bushmills with a splash of H2O, Beck's beer, Diet Pepsi when driving, a good decaf coffee.

I think Corona is fine if well kept and no lime for me thanks. I have never aquired a taste for Guiness, warm or cold. Any beer stored at room temperature is to be avoided.:2
 
I'm honored to add my :2 to this thread.

Try a gin martini ... seems to highlight the secondary flavors of any cigar ... NC or Habanos. My absolute favorite cigar drink.

Coffee is a distant second choice. But, I'm looking forward to a cup with an 02 HdM Epi 1 that my favorite UPS driver delivered today.
 
I'm having a few guys over this friday evening for cigars, a fire, and some drinks. Can anyone suggest a good beer to go with the 5 Vegas Gold's that I'll be providing?

tarnish? :confused: i find a great drink complements and actually adds to the taste sensation of a stogie. tawny port is my favorite, but some hotter liquors go well such as bourbon, rum, scotch and even the right tequila. stout 's not bad either. if i can't drink booze than top shelf chai tea or espresso works.

any imperial stout will work, especially one aged in a bourbon cask. weyerbacher heresy (PA micro) is great

Im under 21 I wouldnt know about that stuff:mad:
 
I wouldn't say it tarnishes the taste. I enjoy a nice beer or even a dark rum to go with my cigars. Beer is my preference however.
 
I love beer with a cigar...None of that fake beer... miller... Bud ect....(my :2 ) I like a micro brew (GLBC...from cleveland)... Also Sam is pretty good ...summer ale ect...

Used to be a brandy drinker but no have switched to scotch...taste much better than brandy now IMO

And I like wine (red mostly, but will sip a pinot or whatever from time to time)
