You have tacos at snack time? How awesome is your life!

I like a coffee (mocha), sweet red table wine, or sometimes a soda (cherry coke), but prefer the coffee. I've tried chocolate (dark) with the wine and cigar. Good combo, but it depends on your taste.

I don't always drink beer when I smoke a cigar, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. :-) With the recent thread bump, I thought it was appropriate. :-)

Seriously though... Bourbon, Scotch (all whisk(e)y's for that matter), rum, beer, coffee, water, and soda all work fine for me. Rarely, but occasionally, I'll eat while smoking. Usually it's at a cookout or something similar (like a herf at TriShield's...man the food!).

RC Cola to drink. Nothing to eat.

@ jsd....RC cola is the best man!!!

If I am trying a new blend, or want to taste just the cigar, then I drink water, on an empty stomach.

If I am just enjoying myself, or hanging with friends, I love coffee, a good whisky, dark or spiced rum, or a full flavored beer. If i'm not into drinking any alcohol a good cigar can taste great with a Dr. Pepper, root beer, or cream soda.

My ultimate favorite pairing is a nice port. To me, nothing pairs better.

clear spirits don't work well for me when pairing, but it certainly won't ruin may day either!

I like port with cigars as well, really pairs well with "earthy" smokes for me.

Patron XO tequila is nice to sip with a cigar as well.

Was just about to ask about tequila with cigars. Want to get into tequila as its one of the few hard liquors I can drink straight and enjoy. Need to get some Patron.

I'm a coke guy when smoking a cigar, or bourbon/ beer when I feel grown up, Cream soda is also a winner.
[Reply]

I've found this too! All my friends hate it. But with the exception of good bourbons, I can drink tequila straight with no bother, no burn. It's almost dangerous and I stay away from it purely for the reason of how smooth it goes down.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Hot Coppa, cheese.

I totally flaked on the wine....YES a good red goes well everytime.

Same, my roommates refuse to purchase anymore after Cinco De Mayo this year. Some cheap tequila in some palmer is one of my favorite mixed drinks(surprisingly works well as a palate cleanser between cigars thanks to the light bitterness from the palmer).
[Reply]

Coffe, wine, port, water...it's all good to me!
[Reply]

Usually its Bourbon, Cabernet Sauvignon, or water...this whole cream soda or root beer thing looks really tempting though. I may give it a shot
[Reply]

I've been on a cream soda kick for a while after reading this thread. Like it much better than the root beer. Iced tea out Pendleton with coke are the norm for me.
[Reply]

Absolutely no food at all, but I like a cold beverage for sure. I prefer a nice craft IPA, some of my favorites are Stone IPA, 21st Amendment Brewery "Brew Free or Die IPA" or Bear Republic Racer 5. When I'm puffing on the job, I stick to good old h2o!

I had a hot chocolate with a cigar the other night. It was pretty good.
[Reply]

I thought of this the other night. Sounds delicious. I'm going to try it this winter. Stand outside with the thermos of hot chocolate and a cigar, should be bearable.

'Hot Choklat'?
