FOHrty9er Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hola Amigos. Headed down to south Florida for a much needed vacation. Brought a variety of Montes and HDM's. Generally speaking, any recommendations for a nice drink to enhance my relaxation with the aforementioned marqas? Muchas Gracias! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I have yet to try it myself, but then again, I'm picky about my OJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ pairs well with cigars- well, RASS and SLR Regios at least. However, I felt the OJ was overpowering and left a coating on the tongue which was tart and sugary and though it didn't mask any flavors of the cigar I didn't think it enhanced them either. Interesting to try, but I still just drink a glass of tap water when I smoke. It's just what I like the best in general. That being said, @99call posted a recipe for a Palmoma not too long ago and I've enjoyed them the few times I made them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck14 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Get a great bottle of Bourbon, pour into glass, drink, repeat. No ice, water, club soda, stones,etc. Best accompaniment to a cigar (unless you wanna upgrade to Rye). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duxnutz Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The word ‘Libation’ reminds me of that cigar show with the loud mouth. Hated the word ever since! Answering the question: Diplomatico anejo Reserva w/ one ice cube (prob hot there in FL). Zaya is decent too. I like rum in summer or a cocktail (usually a Manhattan).

pgwdaddy Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I’m told it’s called a French Connection; I called myself creating a mixed drink only to discover I wasn’t the first. Equal parts Grand Marnier and Burboun (Elijah Craig, for me). Splash of citrus juice - pineapple for the sweeter side, grapefruit for a tartier taste, OJ for a nice blend of the two. Shaken or on the rocks. Pairs very well with the RASS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOHrty9er Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Some great recommendations. I will try a few. I love Vodka with a cigar for some reason. Never considered a rye. Looking to try something new. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PointFivePast Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I’ve always been partial to champagne as a cigar pairing especially with the more delicate flavors of Cubans. The bubbles do a nice job of cleansing the pallet between puffs and I find the flavor notes to be found between both cigars and champagne share a lot of similarity. You can also pair champagne well to the cigar you are smoking; for fruitier cigars, try a champagne with a higher percentage of Pinot Meunier in the blend as the grape is known for the fresh fruit it adds. Conversely, a stronger cigar may take better the brooding power of a Pinot Noir heavy Blanc de Noir. Oh and don’t forget the Rose options available! Hoyo de Monterrey calls me towards a Blanc de Blanc, perhaps one with a little age on it. As with cigars, vintage options can be significantly more expensive.

I love a negroni or boulevardier with a cigar, mostly because I like the bitterness of the campari, though maybe it is just the balance of the entire drink. Since oj seems to be a popular pairing, I was wondering whether a campari mimosa would be a winner as well. I have no excuse for having not tried it myself other than I have been smoking most of my cigars on the golf course and not near my home bar as of late.
