Lately, I've been smoking NC because I've been revisiting my whiskey collection.

However, if I grab a CC I would rather have rum.

What say you? Poll attached....
 
I'm usually just smoking and drinking whatever. I avoid wine with cigars, that leaves a strange aftertaste. I know someone on this forum that digs wine and stogies @Succubus :oops:
 
I don't usually pair. I don't have a huge stock of cigars to choose from, either. So I just drink and smoke whatever sounds good.
 
I typically drink water or coffee. If I decide to sip a spirit, I pick the cigar first. Just like I pick what to drink with a meal. I guess if I only had one bottle of something, or was really in the mood for a particular spirit, say a Irish Whiskey, then by default I'd have to base the cigar on the drink.
 
If I have a drink or cigar that I want in particular, I will choose the other to pair but most times I usually don't give a rip.
 
I like a stiff gin martini after work so I grab something that I know can hold its own.
 
I rarely have time for a cigar but drinks in abundance so I tend to pick a cigar and then choose the drink.

Having diabetes and growing up in a household with sweet n low, I have become accustomed to the taste. Plus I am not much of a beer and booze drinker anymore :D

If you can find Sprechers root beer, it's the best that I've come across.
 
I always choose my cigar first, then decide what I want to drink. But I don't choose my drink based on NC/CC. It's usually just bourbon either way.

Totally understand and didn't mean to single you out on the sweetener.

My sis and her husband drink diet drinks for some unknown reason. I just can't get past the aftertaste.
