I guess I'm just a creature of habit. I always like beer, but I generally drink water with my cigars. I guess I’m just a creature of habit.

I'm new to the fine beverages to go with the cigars. I haven't tried any "infused" cigars preferring to try out all the natural wonders first. I'm also not traditionally someone who likes whiskey (preferring rum, tequila, and vodka). Anyone got any suggestions to pair with something popular?

Jailbait! My favorite of all time (which I can rarely afford) is Balvennie double barrel. It has been aged in whisky oak casks and then moved to casks that held sherry. Has more than just the corn sweetness you get from Tennessee.
