Three cigar day for me yesterday. I started off with an Oliva Series V Lancero, then a Camacho Corojo 10th 60/6 and ended with a DPG JJ Maduro Sublime.

It was my big 40th last night so I convinced my wife to let me smoke in the office and boy did I ever. I started with a Vegas 5 A series, then a Zino Mounton Cadet No.7 and finished off with a CC seconds. Not sure what brand of CC it was but it was still the best out of the three. I would like to try another Vegas 5 thought cause I think the one I had was too dry. And of course a little bit of Courvoisier in between.

Originally posted by CigarsAreNotACrime: Hey Doc, I had an Opus-X and I thought a great pair with that cigar was some Apple Cidar. I dont know if you like it or not, but if you are ever in the mood to try something new, I highly recommend this combo. The spicyness of the Apple Cidar really brings out the spicyness of the cigar really well. I only say this because that is what I am having now and it is tremendous.
That actually sounds really good!
I just finished a Tatuaje Noella...
If you are a fan of Starbucks of Caribou Coffe, they both have a hot apple drink that is fantastic with a cigar. More of a cold weather drink in my book, but still a great taste with a cigar. I have also found that some of the better brands of root beer really bring out a cigars flavors. Nothing too sugary though.
I have never heard of that, I will have to try that out sometime. I had it on my front porch when it was about 25 degrees outside and it was just perfect. I have also had this pumpkin spice coffee from starbucks with a opus-x and it was also very good. Not as good as the apple cidar, but good. I just really like how the drinks bring out all the spice in the opus-x.
I have also had this sasperilla from Sam Adams. It was pretty good with a Partagas 160 and a CAO Brazilia and I think I had a Hemmingway Classic with it as well. It paired with these very good to.
