Jason asked what I drink while smoking. In the evening I drink a bourbon or scotch on the rocks, or sometimes an aged rum, neat. In the morning, if I smoke then (and I do like smoking in the morning on the deck!), I drink black coffee. Between the four beverages, I think coffee works best for me, well, at least as far as complimenting the cigar goes.
This morning I am enjoying coffee with a Padron 3000, and I bring this up for a reason. Yesterday I smoked a Padron 6000 and a 3000 purchased from the same store 4 months ago. I liked neither and said so in my reviews. Now I'm embarrassed to admit that this 3000 (purchased elsewhere) tastes great! Grrrrr... ! Is it common to respond differently to the same cigar purchased at different times or from different stores?
My absolute favorite coffee drinking cigar is a Padron Maduro. It's like they were made for each other.
Not sure how the non Maduro taste with coffee, but sounds like the first batch was tainted.
