champ Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 My favourite drink with a cigar is a glass of wine.I have been drinking whites for a long time now and its mostly Chardonnay.Seems to go well bearing in mind that i am a noob. .
rickmccarey Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I'm usually water/sparkling water or coffee while I smoke throughout the week. On weekends usually a glass of bourbon. Beer the odd time but I haven't found it pairs well for me.
Habsfan67 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 My neighbours didn't realize I drank until they saw me sober one day.. Seriously though, north of 15/week and generally have a drink with a cigar. When it's still light out, it's a good beer. After dark, it's Scotch, Tequila or rum neat. 1
fokker4me Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 I'm 5-7 bourbon/scotch a week in the summer and 3-4 in the off seasons.
TiminBC Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I at that stage of my life where trying to be healthy is somehow not good for me. Having said that I am not currently drinking for caloric reasons. Even before I decide not to drink until I lost some weight I rarely smoked cigars with anything other than water. A few bad pairing convinced me to enjoy the cigar alone with just a little tap water as our tap water rocks. I cannot say I miss alcohol much but many of my friends do not drink much.
JohnS Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I've tried various drinks with a cigar but found that, for me, it wasn't easy to pair my drinks with my cigars. I pretty much will always have a black coffee with water though. I find I enjoy my drinks on their own.
Mr Cholmondley Warner Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Sadly my drinking rate has increased, so many good spiced rums around. I need to have a nice dark spirit to go with a cigar. Sometimes a good rum will inspire an impromptu cigar smoke!

free85 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Single malt scotch (or blended when the chips are down) for me. I'm in the 5 -7 crew and it seems I am not alone.
JohnS Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I enjoy fine drinks, but I find that I'm the type of drinker that savours his drinks in small quantities. I went out to a 50th Birthday party last night and the host kept insisting on purchasing drinks for his guests. Since he such a nice guy who was I not to oblige? So I started with a simple Jack Daniels and Coke, followed by another. We went later to see a band where this was followed up by two Johnnie Walker Blacks and Coke. I couldn't do any more though!
JerseyG Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I usually have beer when it's warmer, red wine when it's cooler. Scotch every now and then. Recently I enjoyed having coffee with a smoke. Much more coffee in the future. 1

Much more coffee in the future. Certain cigars have 'coffee-like' flavours that compliment a good coffee. Other cigars compliments fine alcohol. It's fun to try and experiment what matches.
free85 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Consumables are amazing that way... For me the experiment is part of the enjoyment.
CoCigarSmoker Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Are we allowed to answer this drunk? Sorry....but I'm happy with my current rate of consumption hahaha. Cheers, Seth
sengjc Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I have a nip of dark spirit or a can/bottle of beer almost daily with a cigar.
cassius Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Altough I love wine and had some great experiences with cigars, I understand it is not the best match. I usually have a brown spirit (rhum, whisky or cognac). But I think my favorite drink with a cigar is still coffee. 1
CatchNRelease Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 coffee with a cigar is my #2 favorite beverage. It's tough to go against a glass of rum or whiskey with a good stick
napbo00 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I mainly have some cognac or a jack and coke, just getting into it
tgould55 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I almost always have beer or whiskey when I smoke, unless it's in the morning (and even then I sometimes do). Occasionally I'll drink tea or seltzer water - the latter when I'm really trying to get a feel for the taste of a cigar. I drink almost every night, anywhere from three to five beers or a couple glasses of whiskey. I probably drink too much and should cut down, but it's not causing any problems (yet), so I'm coasting.
teamrandr Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Yes I almost always have a drink or 5 when I smoke. I find I enjoy the cigar better when under the influemce of alcohol. Otherwise when I dont drink I feel like Im in a rush to finish the cigar. I have one cigar a week and 2-5 drinks. Im.happy but I may drink less and try smoking more without alcohol.
