Starbucks Mocca Frappachino. The cold coffee/chocolate flavors go wonderful with LGC Series R Maduro. Mmmmmmm

I purchased a Solis SL90 a few years ago. Cost a bit more, but I've never regretted it.

Starbucks doesn't make there own, I'm not certain, but I think it's either Saeco or Solis that makes them for Starbucks.

Who said Starbucks isn't good coffee?
You may not like the taste, but you can't deny that it indeed a very high quality coffee, especially for a franchise.
But their pastry selection is terrible. They offer overpriced scones that make last years fruitcake taste fresh.

I prefer good old water with my cigars. I will have to try coffee now that everyone is mentioning that. I am intrigued about roasting your own coffee. I think that I would like to try that out. Does anyone have any tips?

Lebanese coffee with cardamom cooked up in an ibrik (ditto on the sweetmarias). Or cream soda depending on what is being smoked and how much work I want to put into it. For the tea drinkers (personally don't like it with a cigar) try a lapsang souchang, it tastes like liquid smoke and is a little disconcerting.

I just tried a cup of Hawain Kona coffee with a CAO Brazilia GOL cigar yesterday and have to admit it was one of the ver best cigar experiences of my life. The two flavors accented one another and led to a GREAT experience!!

I am now a firm believer of coffee with my cigars!!!

rlm,

Now where would I find some of this Choclate Macadamea Nut Kona coffee? Sounds like this would go great with a Root cigar, made by Drew Estates and part of the Natural line.

Thanks,
Matt

Saranac 1888 Root Beer is near perfection. An incredible head and a great smooth flavor really make this brew stand out from the crowd. Not too sweet and the sweetness that comes through, is just right.

Stands up PERFECTLY with a nice strong cigar!

Should be able to find in some of the larger grocery stores that sell Hawaiian coffee. If not not let me know and I send you some from here in Guam. Goes great with the Cuban Parejo or a Mayorga High Octaine or Oliva Ole or ect......

rlm,

Please send me an email at kyhuntsman at yahoo dot com. I haven't found a place yet that carries that particular coffee and my wife absolutely loves chocolate macadamian anything. You'll put me in good graces with the wife if I can get some of this coffee! She might even overlook my most recent c bid purchases, all 13 of them.

Thanks!!!
Matt

I've got a question for all of the Vanilla Coke drinkers--are you talking about the store bought variety that they realeased, or a mix of your own with Coke and Vanilla extract? Just curious

Go to Starbucks ask for a French press of espresso. I like cream and a bit of sugar. The French press will keep the coffee warm while you sip and smoke. I would recommend you do this outside on the patio. Better yet, buy the French press, the espresso and make a patio complete with patio table in your back yard.

Well after reading all the suggestions thought I would add my 2 cents worth in. I have been trying different things and have found that Apple or raspberry or a mix of both really brings out the flavor in many Cigars I have tried..A Ice cold glass ot this drink Makes the Indian Tabac Super Fentu Maduro taste OUT OF THIS WORLD!! It brings out alot of floverful excitment from the Cigar..I know alot of people think it's silly but NOT being the Drinker (Booze) I use to be I like to sit down and have some thing with my smokes and this combo I have found to really enhance the flaor's of many of the Cigars I have tried ..I love it with all the Maduro lines I have tried so far.. Just a country boy's 2 cents worth..Tin.

Paired my Antano '70 with homemade lemonade made with tree-ripened lemons from a friend's lemon tree. Awesome. And that Antano again kicked me arse. What a smoke.

For excellent lemonade, remember the 1,1,5 rule:

1 cup fresh squeezed tree-ripened lemons.
1 cup sugar
5 cups water

Stir. Enjoy. Get more.

Might as well switch to those ultra-lite cigarettes, too! It boils down to whatever you happen to like drinking. If you like dark colas, there you go. The only non-alkie drink that works for me is a nice dark french roast or an expresso.
