Funny thing is since u don't drink I think scotch would be horrible to you. I think scotch and bourbon Etc are progression drinks. When I was younger I NEVER thought Id drink straight anything other than everclear or just doing shots which of course u barley taste. Your jack and jim years teach u to appreciate your woodford pappy and stagg years.Depends on why I'm smoking the cigar. If I'm smoking for recreartion, coffee or soda. If I'm smoking to really discover a cigar, lemon and water or sometimes ginger ale. I find these really help cleanse the palate. I don't drink alcohol, but there are times I wonder what a nice scotch would be like.
