I have not tried this but thought about it, any thoughts? Does the wine just over take the cigar?

I like to have some wine with a cigar. But like everything in the cigar world it comes down to personal taste.

I've never had wine with a cigar, but I could imagine some pairings to work very well. I know the Illusione Epernay is blended to be paired with champagne, and I could see it being a pretty good combination.

Lol I bet he was also all about citrus vomit.

/derail if you search around on YouTube a bit both Rocky Patel and djonathan drew talk about wine pairings.

It has been a while, but I've found a good Port pairs well with some cigars.

Why would anyone want to drink wine with their cigar when they could drink bourbon instead. Seems foolish to me.  :biggrin:

I am not a big wine drinker but agree with NWB and Caveman, Port is good with a cigar!

I have a Cab with a cigar from time to time.  I definitely would say if you do, go with a stronger wine like a cab.  Been many years as well, but I do remember Tawny Ports being real good with a cigar.  It all comes down to your personal prefs.

Did not know this - interesting. I'll have to give that a try - I've enjoyed it with a Charadonnay before and that was a great pairing.

I've paired wine and cigars a few times (and have been to a few places that have recommended wine/cigar pairings as well), to me, it depends how into it you are to care. I've had a white with a cigar I've felt didn't "pair" and it's been just fine. But generally I abide by the following rules if pairing with wine:

Since generally red wines are black berries/red berries they pay better with some of the stronger, and more full-bodied cigars. White wines are traditionally peachy/citrusy so a lighter or more mild cigar usually tends to pair better. Just my opinion, but put a LP9 with a Shiraz/Syrah and enjoy.

For my taste, fortified wines go great with cigars. Ports and Tawney ports are incredible with a good cigar. For me, regular wines don't cut it. The cigar actually overpowers a regular cab or zin.

I have been pairing the  J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cab  with a nice aromatic cigar, like Ambrosia or a Tabak Dulce... It's like desert at the Cigar Bar.

I don't know about this one. The aroma of the paper bag the wine bottle is in seems to interfere with the more delicate nuances of the cigar butts you find on the sidewalk.  :biggrin:
