ZigZauer Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Most of time I drink water only. If I have to drink I pick scotch. My CC drink is usually Bowmore 18 years. I personally find the toasted wood flavor goes well with most CCs. With most NCs I drink glenfiddich 18.

NSXCIGAR Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Coffee 99% of the time. Juice if coffee isn't available. Water doesn't work for me as a palate cleanser. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyh79 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I like chai teas, sparkling water, champagne, or gin. Depending on time of day and strength of cigar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojira Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Sparkling water most of the time. Why? Because I don't drink much alcohol. If I have time for a morning smoke I drink espresso and water with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseAMuffin Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Coke most of the time. It does a good job of cleansing the palate. Other times it might be a whiskey or sweet cocktail Sometimes I'll drink a sweet tea which I recommend trying out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin48438 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Coffee as well. I also like Famous Grouse scotch as it is very mild flavored with a bit of sweetness that interferes with few cigars. If it’s a social/party atmosphere I match the cigar to whatever I’m drinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triphitter Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 If alcohol: Bourbon If no alcohol: Tie between S. Pellegrino and Coffee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycosa Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Pepsi Max. Other beverages that I enjoy with cigars include: other sodas, coffee in its many forms, ice tea, beer, rum coke, whisky, rum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Americano most of the time. Occasionally a coke or root beer made with sugar cane. If I do have alcohol it is a nice rum or cognac. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfortune Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Black coffee- Pairs well with all cigars, any time of day Sparkling water- Cleanses and refreshes the palate Champagne- I feel it still cleanses my palate, while enhancing the experiencing a bit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I don't drink much alcohol if ever, and I do like Scotch and Cognac, but alcohol just totally numbs my mouth and sense of smell so I can't do it with cigars or food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandboy Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I pretty much only have a cigar in the evenings, and club soda with gin and a lime is my go to. I switch to a finger or two of bourbon for the final third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightonCorgi Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Usually just water. I don't pair beverages with cigars. I'll have a cigar with whatever alcoholic beverage I happen to be drinking. That being said, I prefer to have Champagne or Madeira with cigars. Both have the acidity to keep mouth fresh and bubbles are an additional helper in that regard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astar20 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Alcohol I tend to drink armangnac, bourbon and scotch Non alcohol it's either sparkling water, or coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akela3rd Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I don't drink alcohol so it's black coffee, lapsang tea or a fruit tea if it's cold out, tonic water or NA beer when it warms up. There's a lot of good ones out there now but Brewdog Nanny State is excellent with a cigar. I do need to find a good NA stout to try, I think that'll work well...Sent by spooky action at a distance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogiepuffer Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Either peaty scotch, Ardbeg or lagavulin. Or a brown sugar oak bourbon, woodford reserve double oak...Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griller Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm actually a fan of American lagers. They typically have a dry finish, don't overpower the lighter or aged cigars where flavor nuances can be subtle, and are refreshing. Coors Banquet is a solid choice and has national distribution in the USA, and Saranac Haus Lager is solid if they sell it in your area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcicvara Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Usually start with single malt and finish with dark ale or porter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Usually tea in the winter and sparkling water or plain water in the summer. I like coffee if the cigar doesn't have coffee flavours. Alcoholic drinks are good too, but I don't drink anything much above 20% ABV with a cigar as it affects my sense of taste, so mainly beer and wine or maybe a cocktail (though I'll have whiskey on occasion if smoking with friends). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hayes Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Coffee, stout, El Dorado 15yo rum, Manhattan - all with ice water on the side. Probably because I prefer bolder cigars to subtle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLantern Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Coffee and Coke classic are the best for me. I enjoy an occasional scotch, but it goes better with smoking than with tasting - just like I don't always want to "taste" wine, sometimes I want to drink it, sometimes I just want to smoke a cigar and not try to tease out all the flavors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meesterjojo Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Coffee for my wake up stick. Usually topo chico or wine in the evening. Lately I've been doing sangria or gin/tonic. My sangria recipe is from a 1974 issue of gourmet magazine, I think that's the name anyway. Sadly it's a party size recipe that makes 5 gallons and I just can't be bothered to scale it down. I also add a pound of sugar and half a bottle of blackberry brandy and a large dash of bourbon. Adult koolaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLC Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I don't usually pair a cigar with alcohol. My favorite pairing is either black coffee or ginger ale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
