Had a glass of Portuguese port last night at my friend's place. My first taste of port, and I'm hooked. Always avoided drinking wines regularly because sulfites give me a migraine, but this port was awesome. I know I won't find anything that's as good as this port (the 85-litre cask (which is in Portugal with his father) has deposits/sediment from the 19th century), but of those of you who drink port, which do you find compliment a cigar well? I also tried an inexpensive port, Osborne, but found it blah. What is better than Osborne? Thanks all.

Back in Japan in 94, I had the oppertunity to smoke a fine cigar.... While sipping on some "German Rhyne Wine" the cigar went smooth and the wine we ran them out of it!!!!! Great Trip tooo.

No, BOONES does not count. Only if you're trying to compliment a Philly or a Dutchie. ;)
