I enjoy a Godfather with just about any stick.
Also some fresh brewed Harrison & Crosfield Christmas Tea seems to pair superbly with a Connecticut wrapper.
I like rum, either Flor de Cana or Appleton estates, and of course bloody marys. You can adjust the spice in the bloody mary to match the spiciness of the cigar.
A few folks mentioned Buffalo Trace, there is a single malt by them called Eagle Rare witch is quite good... Also they do make 4 other barrel proof antique whiskeys that if you can find pick one up right away , they make them once a year and are pure heaven 147 proof;)
My fav: Tatuaje Havana VI (red label) and an Amaretto Sour. The sour/sweet of the drink pairs incredibly well with the slightly sweet Havana VI. It's one of life's great pleasures. You seriously need to try it.
Wow! This is an old thread brought back from the dead and it's funny how my tastes have changed. I can't even remember the last time I had a Crown and Coke with a cigar. Now I usually have either a glass of straight Maker's Mark, Macallan scotch, or occasionally a glass of red wine. I've really started enjoying scotch more often with my cigars. For a good red wine I have come to like Gnarly Head.
I happen to like an ice cold Mike's Hard Lemonade or Mango Punch with a smoke... as far as alcohol goes there isn't really anything to them, but the taste really seems to smooth things out... the citrus balances with the earthy parts of the cigar...
Daaaaaamn....just how bored were you to dig so far and pull up this old-a$$ thread???
I don't think it was a question of boredom, so much as consciousness... I'm pretty sure I was on here between 1 and 4am... I think...

As much as I'd like to poke fun at you for drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade, I can't bash it until I try it with a cigar I suppose. I do like a little citrus sometimes (like a vodka tonic with a lime) to balance out a strong cigar. I think the Mike's would be a bit overpowering for me, though.

mmmmmmmmmm spicey bloody mary's, very nice choice.
I usually enjoy a cigar with coffee (it's especially helpful that the warm beverage helps me bear the outside cold) and if I'm in the mood for alcohol I usually go with an armaretto and cranberry.
