My current favorite is a PAM (any size) & an Ommegang Abbey Ale (Belgian-style beer brewed in NY). Actually, I think that any full flavored cigar goes great with this beer. What is your current favorite combo?

If I'm really going to enjoy a good cigar, I don't like to drink anything too strong, but I recently really enjoyed a Monte #2 and a Celebrator

Damn Ethan,

Celebrator, is one strong brew. Great with a full bodied smoke, Like an Anejo.

I enjoy Guinness Stout, with a PSD#4

I guess that is why I like the Belgian style of beers with cigars. They tend to be not as overpowering as some of the stouts & porters.

Homebrew. What kinds of beers do you brew?

Lately I've been enjoying Bells Porter with most my maduro smokes. But my tastes vary, so this too will change.

Guiness goes with everything. Maddies, natties, flavoreds, and even breakfast like frosted flakes.

I agree...Bell's Portor is one heck of a beer... And it goes well with almost anything on the dark side...

I don't usually do the beer deal while smokey treatin it but my favs would have to be Paulaner Munich Lager or John Courage. I think they go well with full bodied smokes. Eh, but what the hell do I know, Im just a man trying to make my way in the galaxy....

Russell you are so right. Guinness....yum!

For a more complex palate try Sam Adamms Triple Bock (expensive but great with an Opus X or another strong cigar).

I haven't zeroed in on a favorite cigar, but the beers I buy most often are Guinness Stout, Red Hook ESB, Sam Adams Boston Lager, and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Sounds like beer is the drink of choice with cigars. I can't believe that there isn’t more beer drinking cigar smokers out there. Let me hear some more...even if it is PBR & Swishers ;-}

One of ny best friends does nothing but PBR and Swishers...true.

I mentioned the beers, but I prefer Scotch (Aberlour a'bunadh) or a good vodka martini (Belvedere or Chopin). MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Even a good guava juice is great with a lighter cigar, oh hell I guess you can give me milk or water and the gar.
