Russian Imperial Stout!!!!...
Not an option??
Ok, then Scotch fer sure with the T 52. If you have a nice sipping rum, that would be my suggestion for the Dirty Rat though.....some nice sweetness to off set the spice of the DR. A good rum goes amazingly well IMO with a Dirty Rat (and the T 52 as well for that matter).
And to your other question, speyside would be the Scotch of choice (for me at least) for the very reason of adding that hint of sweetness. They're typically sweeter Scotches than the Islays (which are more peat/smokey characteristics). I'm not talking "sugary" sweet, but more vanilla, nutty, caramel notes etc. (i.e. a nice Macallan 12 year etc.).

I'm afraid to get into Scotch, my wife thinks I spend too much on cigars the way it is. I would say, bourbon.
I might have to pick up some Scotch and give it a try.

Well,
I have two new bottles of scotch at the house; Glenmorangie Lasanta and Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX. I may go with the Sonnalta PX.....

I'll have to agree. If I'm trying a new cigar, I like to have only water with it. Let's you taste a lot more. The next time you have that cigar, you can experiment with different libations. But I would definitely second the water suggestion.

Eh... I retract my earlier comment. I do think a Speyside would work because you could get the sweetness to play off of the spicy qualities of the T52... but a Highland may be a safer bet as some Speysides have a fair amount of spice themselves.
A good Lowland would work as well, since they have grassy and floral notes which, when paired with a T52, will somewhat wash out the grassy and floral notes of the cigar and allow you to pull out some of the other qualities, as the T52 has a fair amount to offer.
As for Islay... it would certainly work but I wouldn't go with anything too overpowering as you'll mute your palate just enough to miss out on some aspects of the T52. An older Islay (25 to 30yo plus), or something like Talisker or Bunnahabhain would probably work.
Boo!!!
I love cigars......I love booze. And together, they form THE dynamic duo where peace and harmony can co-exist.
By themselves????.....someone is sad. It's just not in my nature to have someone feel left out...especially if that someone is me :guitar:

For THAT cigar, I agree with Kyle, RIS.
If not that, bourbon. Again, RIS is softer and complimentary flavors. Win/Win in my book.

Do alcohol and nicotine pair well together?
I was under the impression that alcohol would intensify the effects of Vitamin N, meaning that if you're sensitive to it in the first place (like I tend to be) it may not be the best choice.

Talisker is great! Speaking of which, I really should pick up another bottle some time soon. Not sure I'd go with it for the first run of any given cigar, but I bet it would pair well the second time 'round.
