I don't understand how some of you guys like sweet drinks like the guy that said Sprite and Whiskey with a cigar. I've only liked whiskey neat when enjoying a stick.

Depends on cigar. For a lighter smoke like a monte, davidoff, or Ashton I drink cognac - usually hine or Pierre Ferrand. For stronger blends like those from Nicaragua I prefer bourbon - bulleit, stagg, or willets. For medium body I prefer scotch either speyside or Islay.

Two of my favourites with very different flavours are Laphroaig 10 year and Nikka Coffey Grain.

The laphroaig is an acquired taste. Serve it neat with a quarter of a drop of water and let it breathe for a few mins while you get your cigar going, amazing!

Nikka is a Japanese whisky and the best I've tried outside of Scotland. Nice smooth flavour that pairs well with anything, and is generally inoffensive and inexpensive. I'd also highly recommend the blended 'from the barrel' which is amazing value for money, albeit strong at around 50% abv.

Cognac of choice - Hennessy VSOP or XO.

+1 for XO

For whisky and cigar combo - I go for a more smokey whisky (such as a Lagavulin 16) to compliment the cigar. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good pairing?
