David67 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 OK I took the poll but to be honest I don't like people asking me how much I drink. Once I had some bad pain in the center right of my stomach and the Doctor asked "how much alcohol do you drink?", "none of your bussines" was what I almost replied.

darinjanssen Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't always drink beer while having a cigar, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis....couldn't resist the "most interesting man in the world" reference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer14 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Probing? Odd poll? I think is a very interesting poll and not 'probing' at all, after all it is anonymous, and if it bothers you either don't take the poll or maybe rethink your drinking habits?? I dont know, I found it non-offensive and insightful as I dont usually drink with a cigar but always thought most people did. Good poll. And Petrus, being from Brooklyn, where do you smoke your morning cigars? Asking because I just came back from NYC and Brooklyn and found a bit of anti smoking sentiment in the air. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJlavine4 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I usually have a beer or whiskey/whisky when I have a cigar. As many have said before, it`s how I wind down after a long day of work and just relax. Whether I have 1 drink or 10 drinks really depends on the company I keep.

dangolf18 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I usually have 4-5 drinks a week...mostly wine. I love beer but it unfortunately packs on the pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkleeroy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I don't drink many days of the week. Perhaps only one, but when I do. It's about 5-7 drinks. I hardly ever get to smoke a cigar with a drink though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaBeKD Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I usually have around 5-6 drinks a week. I love beer and whine. My kids whine 5-10 times a day... Does that count? I will have anywhere from 2 to 10 drinks a week... Depends on what I had to put up with Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fokker4me Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I find my weekend smokes to be different from my weekday smokes. During the week I trend towards having a drink with my cigar as I keep a well stocked locker of bourbon, rye and rum at my local shop in downtown Philadelphia. I will normally stop in on the way home from work to socialize and have cigar. On weekends I tend to have coffee/ espresso more often than not as I am at home. My theory is that it has more to do with the social aspect of having a drink with friends. I tend to never drink alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosgate Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I stopped smoking cigs and drinking for five years and hardly ever to the doc and never hospitalized before I quit. After I quit, two trips to the hospital and several issues, weight gain etc. Not sure if it was the lack of the two or the stress of my now ex. I got rid of her this summer and started smoking stogies and drinking on weekends again so hopefully I will build up a resistance to doctors agian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJohnnyGo Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Cool poll. I probably average 1 drink per night. Often I drink alcohol while smoking but only about 50% of he time. I find other things such as coffee, iced coffee and many juices can do tremendous things for a cigar without needing alcohol. I also feel that booze can numb my palate some and make certain cigars harder to fully appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potpest Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 My favourite time of the week is having a couple of cigars on a Saturday and Sunday morning with an espresso and a large pot of black coffee. I usually have a scotch if I'm smoking on a night time, but prefer the early morning shift.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fba Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I just love red wine...Last week I tasted about 5 different wines, sometimes, I think it is too much...But aside from other drinks, red wine, like cigar, is a sensorial orgasm Such a cliché...A french guy drinking red wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebender Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I like to drink Scotch when smoking cigars. It's even more relaxing. Beer and red wine mess up my palette when smoking cigar. Coffee and non-carbonated semi-sweet drinks seem to bring out more flavors from cigars, and I always like to have them on the side when smoking cigars (plus Scotch of course)..

mgravito Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I normally don't drink unless I have friends over. I'm sure most people disagree, but I feel like unless I've already perfectly paired a spirit with a cigar that the drink detracts from my smoking experience. I'll smoke first, drink later.

sengjc Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 ...but I feel like unless I've already perfectly paired a spirit with a cigar that the drink detracts from my smoking experience. I'll smoke first, drink later. I agree with this. Although I will still drink and smoke together, when I am tasting new cigars or drink, I will refrain from having the other in favour of a fresh and unadulterated palate.

superconductor71 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I used to almost always have a belgian ale with my cigars....but lately i've been trying to keep the lbs down a bit so i've cut back on that. Sure I'll have one, but overall i'll be drinking water for the most part. Moderation and all that bs.......getting older sucks sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbuAmelia Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I've been skipping the hard alcohol lately as it's becoming too much. I recently visited my local liquor shop and picked il many bottles of craft beer. I'm stuck on these new chocolate beers and Banana Bread beer is to die for with a cigar.

PuffDaddie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Either drink beer or a glass of rum with a cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingMeadery Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I find it difficult to really pair an alcohol well to a specific cigar. Single Malts are a fave and I have enough experience drinking them to adequately pair to a particular genre of cigar. Other than this I simply drink what I like while smoking, being particularly drawn to stouts I find these sometimes contradict the flavour of some subtle lines, but it's a compromise I'm happy to live with Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I like scotch and cognac and rum as well. Stocked up on everything very well, but almost never drink alcohol with my cigars. Prefer coffee or pure glacier water. I barely drink alcohol at all. No particular reason just.. not a massive drinker I guess I am. Never been. But like it this way. Beers maybe in summertime once or twice I feel I want to and just forget about it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipher Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Drink scotch and smoke cigars when home alone. Otherwise I only indulge in scotch when my scotch crew is over. I break put the pimms no1 as a night cap on those bad days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomdude Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If I smoke a cigar in the afternoon it is with espresso or water; more often I smoke cigars after dinner with a bold red wine or a scotch (or three). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigodeanda Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I usually have a bottle of wine with my wife on weekends and a couple of beers during the week. I don't usually drink and smoke, the few times I've done that I`ve found that usually one overpowers the other, I probably need to learn a bit more of wine/cigar pairings for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
