Cigars and drinks... favorite combinations?

[Frank Rizzo]

Any of you guys cognac drinkers? I like Remy XO and recently i got a new job (started Monday) and want to celebrate by buying a bottle of really good cognac. Something better then Remy XO. Any reccomendations?

Hine Antique is one of my absolute favorites.

On another note, was introduced to a Pimm's Cup pairing with Monte #4 that I found well balanced.. especially in the humid New Orleans spring.

Usually do water, I like tasting the cigar by itself, especially when smoking something new. I like coffee with smokes here and there as well as bourbon, usually Widow Jane and Breckenridge.

Some may laud my answer, but try it before you knock it...
I like Wild Turkey 101 with a drop or two of water with my cigars.

If you havent had WT101 since you were in your 20s, try it again. Its actually better than many of it's slightly higher priced

It's a favorite of mine.

Four Roses Bourbon is inexpensive and a blend so there are a lot of flavors available in a pairing. I like reading Michael Veach and met him at the New Orleans Bourbon festival. He's a big fan of Four Roses and since it's one of the milder bourbons I think it makes a good pairing for just about any thing from Maduros to Connies.
