Smoking a cigar is pleasurable enough and yet I do believe that pairing a cigar with a great drink adds to the whole experience. Tell me, what do you drink with your cigar? If you have not found the perfect match as of yet, let me share some of the best drinks that you can try while smoking your favorite cigar.
Coffee
When I say coffee, I mean all things coffee. There are all sorts of coffee drinks today, some non-alcoholic, some alcoholic. I think that any coffee drink will match most cigars. Take your pick – café latte, café mocha, Cuban coffee, Irish coffee. All these will go perfectly with a nice smoke.
Porto
If you are wondering what porto is, it is a kind of wine, more commonly known as port. It is a Portuguese wine which normally considered sweet but also comes in dry and semi-dry. Any kind of porto would match most kinds of cigars but if you want a great experience, I suggest getting a bottle of late bottled vintage. Vintage would be the best, to be honest, but it is quite expensive and once the bottle is opened, you have to finish the whole thing off.
Kahlua
I love Kahlua – even without cigars. Their drinks have various flavors and if you prefer variety, the line of Kahlua drinks would be perfect. The same thing applies if you are looking for a good drink to go with your cigar. Just go to your local liquor store or even at the supermarket and you can easily take your pick.
