Cigars and alcohol.

Do cigars really taste better with alcohol or do we simply associate it so, as wishful thinking mind you, as a good pairing in our minds simply to find a ruse to drink alcoholic beverages?
What possible taste could be added as it is a known fact that alcohol deadens the nerve endings on the tongue and palette as we consume more and more of it?
Would it not then, by this assumption alone, be that in fact the opposite would be and therefore is true?
Just thinking out loud.
Don't hate on me for not drinking when I smoke.

If that makes any sense!
of course I like milder cigars so it is easier for a beverage of that nature to dominate.
That's my bs, contrary response. If you'd come down on the other side, I probably would have argued as you did. Sure some of it's in our mind, but that doesn't make it any less real. When I first started reviews, I only drank water. But on occasion, I just want something with the cigar, because this is, after all, about enjoyment. No hate on you, though. I totally get where you're coming from and still usually only drink water myself.
So far I've tried bourbon (good) beer (perfect) diet sprite (disgusting) and regular coca-cola (not horrible) Out of those 4 only on is good for my diet and its the one that tasted awful! So I'm stuck, I have managed to whittle it down to one beer per stogie, unless its a really strong cigar. I would say its a personal choice/pallet thing (no judging)
I think you'd have to drink a lot of alcohol before it really impacted your taste buds.
Then there's the idea that alcohol is a CNS depressant and nicotine is a CNS stimulant, so I like how they play together.
These are both good points. I find myself having a beer or two in between cigars more than pairing them together. I tend to drink mostly craft beer(s) and sometimes the cigar or beer can be completely masked by the other.
