Your favorite Cigar/Drink Pairing

My favorite drink/smoke combo for Feb:

Stayed at the Royal Grand Bahamian resort in Nassau. The bartender, Keno, made a wicked martini he dubbed "The Silent Assassin". None of the other bartenders knew how he made it, and he just kept 'em coming. Pair that up with some nice Cuban Cohibas and Romeo & Julietas that I bought on Bay Street, and it made for 9 of the finest nights I have known in this lifetime...
 
bolivar belicoso fino and 3 fingers of woodford reserve
well maybe 9 fingers of woodford, hell most any bourbon will do.

hey all you makers mark drinkers if you haven't already go sign up to be a bourbon ambassador its free and they send you some cool stuff.
 
Any good french vanilla coffe with a Natural Clean Robusto... if I could smoke cigars in the morning, this is how i would start my day.

Why can't you smoke cigars in the morning? Morning stogies are fast becoming my favorite. Something about the quietness and breakfast food goes really well with cigars. :w
 
For a Minutos, a glass of Potro is just perfecto!
For those 50RG, a bottle of cold with a slice of lime Corona Beer!

Salud!
 
If its during the day, a good coffee goes nice with any cigar, esp. a Latte.
Of the evening i would have to say a Dilwhinney Single Malt scotch, straight, no ice or a Drambuie.
 
I just had an interesting one that actually worked out pretty well:
Pulpy organic pineapple juice with a Camacho Corojo Nationale
 
My all-time favorite is Bolivar Belicoso Fino with Havana Club (at least 7 Years).

When one or both of the above are not available, then just about everything goes well with Macallan in my opinion.
 
Got a bottle of Seagram's VO Gold for my birthday. Its an eight year old blended Canadian whiskey that I havn't tried yet. I usually prefer Canadian whiskey over single malts because they are quite smooth and a wee bit more affordable. Although the bottle of Glenmorangie 15 year old I gifted to my father-in-law was very nice.

Can't wait to try it with a stogie. :D
 
I am not in the mood for one of my mega-lists right now. :D

Here is a good combo for the approaching Summer:
Puros Indios and Hefe-Weisen
NO LEMON! Erdinger and Pyramid are good ones in my experience.

I have some big-honking PI Pyramid #1s slated for long afternoons this Summer.

Excellent choice! But the local micro-brewed "Hefe-Weisen" gives me a wicked migraine. They tell me micro-brews are unfiltered. Could that be the problem?

Is Tucher Weizen a different beer, or a brand name? I've got a nice gold rimmed glass with that name on it.

I found a recipe for a drink called Assassin:
1/3 oz Jack Daniel's® Tennessee whiskey
1/3 oz tequila
1/3 oz peppermint schnapps
3 oz chilled Coca-Cola®

Method
Pour whiskey, tequila and peppermint schnapps into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass, fill with chilled Coca-cola, and serve.

Does that sound like what you had?
 
As a rule of thumb for me Jack Daniels is always a good idea. Lately I've also been drinking more Glenlivet aged 12 years. That along with one of the CAO Mx2 Robustos my buddy gave me go along good while I'm sitting out back at night.

-Lt. Col. Slade: Clear them little bottles off. And when I get off the phone here, call up Hyman and tell him I want it wall to wall with John Daniels.
Charlie: Don't you mean Jack Daniels?
Lt. Col. Slade: He may be Jack to you son, but when you've known him as long as I have

For a widely-available weiss beer, I really like Franziskaner, especially the dunkel--you never put lemon in a dunkel and, since it's a little heavier, it pairs very well with a wide range of cigars.
 
Hmmm,

7 Up, Coffee, an occasional Port or wine... had an Arizona Green tea Ice tea today and that was nice too.

To put as Coke did so long ago...

"Things go better with stogie" :D
