Whiskey? Bourbon? Rum? Port? Beer?
I'm probably going to open a bottle of Aberlour 16 later to go with a RP Decade cameroon. Haven't had either yet  We'll see how that pairs out.

Sometimes Jack Daniels in/out of Coke. Find what you like! |

Bourbon, simple old fashioned made with rye. If I'm in a situation where I can't have alcohol, my go to with a cigar is Dr Pepper. I don't drink it otherwise.

I tend to not mix my cigars and drinks.
I'd prefer to get the full flavor of either rather than mix them. Now, non alcoholic drinks I pair with my smokes tend to be things like coffee or chocolate based stuff. Java Monsters, YooHoos, that sort if thing |

Any good bourbon.
Scotch depending on whether it will pair with the cigar. My new favorite Glendronach Original 12 is the best pairing scotch I've ever found. Has lots of dark chocolate in the finish. Lagavulin 16 usually works with the strong spicy cigars I prefer. Laphroaig can be tricky because it will overpower almost anything. Good strong coffee or espresso always works well, especially with cubans. Cubans to me have a lot of dessert flavors - cream, fruit, sweet spices - and what goes better with a rich dessert than coffee or espresso? Much of the time I'll choose just water because that way I have nothing distracting me from the flavors in the cigar itself. Have heard that root beer is a good match but haven't tried it myself. Would like to try a good aged rum. I bet that would go well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Water Lime La Croix if I’m smoking something that I’m really interested in. Most alcohol mutes the cigar, so I tend to stay away from that if I’m lighting something really exceptional. Otherwise, it’s bourbon (Russel’s SiB, Eagle Rare, Henry McKenna, OF 1920, Jefferson’s of some sort, Blanton’s, etc.), coffee, or Dr. Pepper. Don’t know exactly why, but Dr. Pepper and cigars really work. |

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout or Goose Island Bourbon County stout for example. Higher ABV, lots of coffee chocolate vanilla oak and bourbon flavors. |

I’ve never had a good Rocky Patel. I’ve had “not bad” ones, but never “good.”
As for the drink, it depends on mood. I’ll do scotch if drinking at home/neighbors. Too expensive at the bar. Manhattans with Bulleit usually there. |

NC stores sell it for ~$35, and it’s a great bourbon at that price. I wouldn’t pay much more than that, and I’m definitely not going to chase it trying to find a bottle, but it’s one of those that I’ll buy if it’s on the shelf. Otherwise, Russell’s Reserve 10 is equally as good and much easier to find. |

I normally drink some bourbon...Blantons, Hancock Reserve, Eagle Rare, etc but will occasionally drink beer like a bourbon barrel stout or a Shiner. I might have to try the Dr. Pepper though. That actually sounds good and I dont even drink soda.

Bourbon or Rye. Normally straight, occasionally in an old fashioned. Angels envy rye is my favorite, with or without a cigar. I enjoy trying anything new though.
Certain scotchs pair incredibly well, macallan fine oak being one. I won’t pair a peaty scotch with a cigar as the cigar tends to drown out the peat flavor. |
