a fine whiskey
Cognac or Armagnac
beer
scotch
Jack Daniels and 7-up on the rocks or a Crown Royal.
I'm kind of 'weather dependent' when I give my answer regarding this, but I also don't know your taste in Cigars. I personally like dark, full flavored tobaccos, any time of the year, but the weather affects what I like to drink with it.
In the winter, I like a smokey scotch like Glenlivet, but I also enjoy dark Red Wine's, like zinfiendels and merlots. My personal favorite Merlot is Fat Bastad, which is in the 10 dollar a bottle range, but very full flavored.
Since I live in Arizona, we have Winter and Summer really, but in the Spring/Falls, I really like seasonal Brews. Most breweries do a Pumpkin Ale or Porter during the Fall, which I thing compliments everything. In the spring, I like berry beers, especially the heavier ones that seem to be partly wheat.
In the summer, I like lighter whiskeys, like Crown Royal, on the rocks or with a splash of water. In terms of beers, I like crisp, unfiltered brews like Hefewiezens or Belgium Whits.
Hope that helps :)
cordials
cognac
brandy
coffee flavored tequila - Patron
try Hennesy or Crown Royal or Bourbon
and are you going to try every ones suggestions until you find one you like? (HA HA HA)
IF SO..........Good Luck!
With a Romeo & Julieta (Cuban) I drink a Jack & Diet Coke.
It has the most amazing taste and I can't seem to find anything better.
Cognac!!! The better the cognac the better the smoke. Roll the mouth end of your cigar in the cognac and then puff and you will find the outcome to better than you thought.
Bourbon. Any will do, but I like Makers Mark or Jefferson's Reserve.
whiskey
Whisky
