Good, darker, barrel-aged scotch......not one too peaty.
Years ago I had a White Russian (yeah, chick drink.....whatever!) a bit heavier on the Kahlúa and lighter on the vodka than "normal" ......dang good with a cigar.
Sherried scotch, good bourbon, or aged rum.
I had bourbon on the rocks with a splash of root beer and a dash or two of bitters, you're not going to impress any one but it was damn tasty with a cigar.
Substitute Cheerwine for root beer.
I wonder if an espresso martini would work...
Noobs......
Still not a huge bourbon guy, but I've found a few I like. Prefer to drink it sweet with a cigar. Wife loves old fashioned, so often it's that. Other times I'll lightly mash a plum, cherries, peach or nectarine and pour bourbon over it
Frenet-Branca

Fernet is an apertif if anything.
What's on the menu? That usually determines my cocktail selection.
Fernet-Branca
Thunder.Gerbil is right, Fernet-Branca (with cola) is the correct answer.
Seriously, try it if you haven't. Its one of the great forgotten cigar pairings.

A good Port is pretty good as well. 🌫
On my next trip to Japan, I’mma gonna load up on this stuff! That and Blanton’s SFTB…if it’s still at a reasonable price.
