Just curious as to what most of you drink while smoking??

I really am not a liquor kind of guy. I mostly just drink beer. I am just not sure what goes with cigars yet. I am too new,lol. I drink alot of different kinds of beer, but mostly Blue Moon or Shock Top, Yeungling , Bud or Bud Light when I want something a bit lighter.

 

more often than not: water.


after that, coke, beer, tea, and every now and then, milk.

as far as beer goes: if you can see through it, i probably wont call it beer.

I don't drink alcohol, so I stay away from liquor or beer or wine. A lot of the time, I drink nothing with a good cigar. I think some cigars are best smoked alone. It may be I like their taste better than most drinks, and would rather have a nice long finish from the cigar. At times I do enjoy good coffee with a cigar. First Ghurka Legend I smoked, I was drinking an Almond Latte with 3 shots of espresso, was a fine pair. More often than not, whatever it is I'm drinking takes a back seat to the cigar at hand.

I've mentioned this before, but I almost exclusively drink ice water when I smoke a cigar. When it's not that then it is usually iced tea. I'm not so big a beer + cigar fan, the two just don't mix well to my tastes, besides which I'm not much of a drinker anyhow. Often times if a cigar is really good, my water will just sit untouched because I don't want to wash away the finish....this happens most often with La Aurora 1495 and Padron cigars.

thanks for the replies. I was curious if there was anything out there you guys drank that just paired nicely with a cigar. I wanted to make sure I was not missing out on anything,lol. Because I really do not like liquor or wine. I do drink beer and have had beer with and without cigars so far, either is fine with me.

In this order. Bourbon, Water, Beer, Tea.

I have to drink something with a cigar or I end up spitting a lot.

Cognac, Scotch, Bourbon, Rum, Sweet Tea, Water, occasional Coffee and once Port. All have been good but Cognac, Rum and Scotch are my favorites. For non-alcoholic: Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea. I'm not much of a beer person.

I ususally have soda, water or coffee. If I'm at home or over a friends house, I'll have beer.

Cognac, especially with Gurkha Grand Reserve or Royal reserve, but usually I try to drink Dr. Pepper or water.

nice cup of freshly roasted coffee from freshly roasted beans usually Sumatra or Tanzania beans MMMM

In the summer while sitting outside on the patio enjoying a cigar, that would be Grand Marnier.

Who do you get your freshly-roasted beans from, doogie? Several guys at work have them shipped from Peet's.

I like iced tea, unsweetened or lightly sweetened, water or red wine. One time I smoked a cigar (I don't remember what cigar it was) with some apple cidar and it was incredible. The two of them complemented each other very nicely.

I get my beans from a fellow in Arizona his company name is rinconmountainroasters and I purchase them from him off E-bay. If you type in that name in the advanced search for seller name... you should find his page. Very good product and fair prices as well.
Does a lot of fair trade beans. These are GREEN beans which need to be roasted to your prefference.
It is a little costly for me to ship them from there to Canada but he ships FREE in the US !!!
