Definately agree with this statement that some scotches dont go well with cigars and some cigars dont go with well with Scotch. So heres what I have to say.
v
Connie wrappers are mostly going to get wiped out by most scotches. That being said some of the sweeter scotches - Edrador, vanilla and almond - actually pairs nicely with a good full flavor connie. I like Bowmore Darkest, Lagavulen 16, Laphroig for the big peaty flavors.
These would completely wipe out any connie or maduro in my opinion (havent tried to pair them).
Oban 14 is probably my personal favorite and does pair well with medium to full bodied smokes (see Decade here and Ive paired it before and its worked out nicely) I think that if you combo them right it will enhance the flavors of both ....
Dalwhinne actually made a cigar malt that was blended to pair with cigars.
And I dont think its cut and dry that you like burbon or scotch. You can like both and I do. I have a bottle of Eagle rare and Glenlevit{sp} sitting in my cabinet that I pull a dram out of fairly often.
Also Ice, Water or Neat is a personal preferance. Most beleive that a little water is the best way to drink scotch, but I prefer 1-2 cubes to drop the temp just a litte and open it up with some water.
Work called! They said if you dont come in on Friday, dont bother to come in on Monday! - Whoo hoo four day weekend!
