With the question you asked, the answer is individual preference.

I prefer a good Brandy or Cognac. Good bourbon is also good. Beer is also another choice - Raging Bitch is great with a cigar, but not as good without.

It really depends on how old the cigar smoker is and how you prepare them. Also are we talking a single cut or a whole cigar smoker?

Try Chianti and a side of fava beans. It's a classic combo.

Four years at this and you haven't figured out what to drink yet?

Agree with Z
The origin and vintage of the cigar smoker is crucial for for proper pairing.
A well aged european cigar smoker for example will pair completely differently than a fresh young cuban cigar smoker.

And yeah, I'm calling this guy bingo. Copyright and trademark infringement are a concern!

You need to be a little more specific about well aged Europeans. English, probably Scotch. Spanish, probably Brandy. French, Conjac. Irish, Irish. Russian, grain Vodka. Polish, potato Vodka. And so on.

the answer to the OP entirely depends on how the cigar smoker is prepared...

braised, slow smoked, broiled, roasted, seared over open flame....???

if the cigar smoker is a hot babe, yes....I would definitely licker

With cigar smokers, it's much like smoking animals: start from the snout end - the child draw is much better that way!

As for liquor, I just discovered Bumbu rum, it tastes like bananas foster in a glass...

Friggin autocorrect... Should have read "cold draw" although, to be fair, he never mentioned the age of the cigar smokers...

I’m no English major but take a step back and re-read your original post. I think you got the not-so-civilized answers due to your not-so-good sentence / question.

For the record, I enjoy Bourbon, rum, rye, Irish whiskey and a good dark beer with my cigars and fellow cigar smokers. Not much of a fan of Scotch or beers such as IPAs.

Yeah IPA's are hard to pair with most cigars. The New England/hazy IPA's pair the best.

I've enjoyed many cigars while drinking Pliny the Elder, but don't indulge in adult beverages much anymore...
