Is that they pair so well with a variety of different alcoholic drinks.
I prefer microbrewed beer that's golden brown or a tad darker in nature like ambers and IPAs. For me these go hand in hand with the medium/med-full stogies I enjoy smoking.
I also am a huge fan primarily of single malt whisky(ey) neatly poured preferably of an Irish origin. My go-to Irish whiskey is Bushmills 10 year single malt as you can't beat the price and quality of it though I am a huge fan of Red Breast 12 year single malt which I keep usually keep a bottle of on hand.
As far as scotch goes, I like Glenfiddich though I think the 12 year is actually better than the 21. I like Macallan's 12 year and try to keep a bottle of that around too.
I like American bourbon but not as much as I do Irish whiskey but will not decline bourbon if offered. Bulleit rye is solid as is Maker's though I do enjoy Jim Beam from time to time. I guess I'm not really picky when it comes to the darker liquors....
This weekend I'm going to be spending time with some buddies who share similar cigar and drinking tastes as me so I'm looking forward to see how well the smokes will pair with the drinks. The cigars that are on the top of my list are as follows:
Aging Room Batch T112 robustos (though more of a med-full cig)
Oliva Series G Torpedos
Alec Bradley Family Blend GS57
La Fontana 2004 Vintage Verdi (mild so we'll see how it goes)
Some of the guys are bringing their own stashes so it'll be nice to try other stogies too.
Looking forward to this weekend!!
