I always smoke after I eat. As others have said, it's nice to wind down and relax with a full stomach. I usually will pair my cigar with a cup of coffee if smoking at night, or a cold Dr. Pepper if it's during a hot day. I think the flavors of a Dr. pepper really play off the flavor of a good cigar.
With that being said, if you are looking to eat and smoke at the same time I would think a good authentic BBQ would go well with a cigar. I went to the drew estate barn smoker this past summer, and there were plenty of guys smoking while enjoying Bears BBQ. It seems like a natural pairing, especially with the flavors of smoked meat.
