What’s your favorite pairing?

[Fox Sterlingworth]

I love whiskey as much as I love cigars but I do not like pairing them.  It’s usually palate overload or one overpowers the other.

A cold Coke is usually my pairing go to.

HUHC and an espresso is pretty fantastic. Otherwise, any black coffee/espresso or a club soda. I personally cannot get into any alcohol paired with a cigar. wine, beer, rum they all seem to overpower the other and just wind up meh for my tastes.

Old fashioned and BBF. 

Try Old Fashioned and anything Karl. If the OF is on point, then the cigar automatically goes up about 5-8 points on a 100 scale.

When I drink beer, it’s either a very hoppy IPA or a very dark stout. I have found that beer overpowers the cigar taste. In order to really enjoy the cigar, I have to pair with water, coffee, tea or a soda. Perhaps I should try a wine or liquor pairing? 😜 I also can rarely smoke in the morning, and definitely can’t smoke on an empty stomach in the morning.

I read a tip from someone on here to try root beer, which has been really great every time I’ve paired it. I’ve also had success with ginger beer and cream soda.

not specific to the brand, but these somehow work great

HUHC and espresso is my favourite. Anything except for beer though.

Monte 2 and iced coffee (with cream). I rarely do coffee with cigars and I usually prefer my coffee hot and black **insert inappropriate joke here**, but this is a scratch I sometimes have to itch.

For more full bodied/spicy cigars ( My father, Tatuaje, Partagas etc.) I like a peaty scotch such as Ardbeg ten or Lagavulin 16 to stand up to the profile.

Cigars with a stone fruit profile ( RASS,Pledge prequel,RYJ Churchills) I like to pair with a sherry finished scotch such as Glenmorangie 18.

And for my mild/creamy cigars ( PL MC, HDM EP 2, Illusione and Warped) I stick with coffee/espresso.
