Harveys Bristol Cream to be exact.

I usually have a Scotch, Bourbon or a Martini with my cigar, but this evening I have a glass (actually 2 glasses) of Sherry with my Ashton VSG.

The sweetness of the sherry really is the Yang for the power of the cigar, the Yin.

Anyone else enjoy a fortified wine with their cigar?

I've had Sherry a couple of times, but port is still my favorite drink with a smoke........

I prefer a nice "Towny" port to Sherry.
But recently I've learned about ice vines - very smoooth and just enough sweetnes. It was exellent with the Reyes.

A really nice drink to have with a cigar (although I enjoy port and sherry also), is a Pineau des Charentes, fron the Cognac region in France.

It is a blend of Cognac and grape juice (from grapes used to make Cognac), which is then aged in barrels for at least 18 months, not rarely up to 10 years. Very good and Yangs the phock out of a cigar. However, I have not seen Pineau des Charentes frequently in the States. I you find some, try the Château de Beaulon 10 years old Gold (not the Ruby).

I had some Portuguese Red, not a Port, but more of a Merlot type. (I'm definitely not a wine expert). But, to start, the wine was very dry and not very sweet. My cigar brought out a lot of flavor in the wine and a lot of sweetness.
