I find myself wanting to enjoy a good scotch along with my cigars. Does anyone have any suggestions on a single malt, or any other scotches that go along with a good smoke, as well any other beverages for that matter. I love to pare wine with food, so I would imagine that the same should apply to cigars. What wold you recommend?

There have been a couple threads about this very subject and there seems to be a lot of bourbon drinkers on here. Makers Mark and Buffalo Trace are two of the most popular and two of my personal favorites. I also enjoy a good Crown and coke with my cigars.

I had some 10 Cane Rum a while back with a Fuente Hemmingway and those paired together well. Still prefer a good smooth bourbon though.

I like to have a nice smoke with a glass of JD Single Barrell if I am in the whiskey/bourbon mood, I also have been known to drink some JW Gold label with a smoke from time to time (once in a blue moon, maybe even some of my Blue label)

I like lagavulin, but it has a really peaty full flavored body. Macullum is also very good. Glenn Fiddich for those who like 'em smooth.

I'm getting into scotch myself. JW green last weekend but w/o a smoke.
Crown/Sprite, Crown/Sweet tea with a cigar is not bad. Full Moon with a Camacho triple maduro is nice too. A good Zin with the Oliva V goes over well also.

The Macallan 18 year is my favorite and the 12 year is very good as well at a lower price point I prefer Highland Park and at the other end of the spectrum for a special occasion I love Macallan 25 but it is out of my price range other then very rarely.

chrissakes are you my brother from another mother.....just finished off the last Buffalo Trace and Makers Mark I had in the last week...10 Cane and Tortuga are my fav rums ....crown is always good but I can't mix anything with Coke I almost always use Sierra Mist....rum and Fuente  are excellent combo and bourbon and Maker Mark cigars are excellent together ....h uppman vint cameroon and bourbon as well as punch gran puro and gran cru work well together

Haha Well for my money there is nothing better than a good glass of Makers or Buffalo trace and a really good cigar! It doesn't matter if it's a Maduro or a Cammie or a connei wrapper... Nothing beats a good glass of bourbon with a smoke!

Well it looks like I am going to be spending some money at liqueur store today, I had Makers before, but since forgot about it. I am also going to pick up a bottle of Buffalo Trace seeing as I am from Buffalo NY it only makes sense. All I need now is a smoking room some where in my house, because smoking outside in a balmy 5 degrees is not my idea of a good time.

Haha, Yea 5 degrees isn't exactly ideal smoking weather! It's all the way up to 22 here this morning and there is no way in HELL I'd be smoking outside today.

We were around negative 12 for air temperature to start the day but I think that we are up to negative 4 now. Much better than being in the Dakotas where I heard they hit negative 40s for air temp. I can't even begin to imagine that.

Well we are at about 6 right now but the wind chill makes it feel like it is well below zero. My dog wont even go out to relieve herself it's so damn cold, but I guess if I had to put my ass the snow to pee I wouldn't do it either.

No joke! We could pitch in on a storage unit rental to plug up a heater in so we would have our own "Guys Only" Smokehouse! haha

Ha! What's the workaround for that situation, anyway? Is she trained to use the potty?
