    I don't get the reference, but you can never go wrong with a reference featuring the word "underpants."

    Unless they're being worn by Mary J. Rottencrotch.

    Even then. "Underpants" is one of those inherently funny words. Like "wanker" and "rutabaga."

    I had some Ameretto on the rocks with a Fonseca Vintage the other day and it was amazing. I don't know if one made the other better but the combo was really great.

    I do not drink any alcoholic beverages. Looks like I am missing out on some good combos. I am a cigar newbie, but I have 3 favourite beverages that I enjoy when I smoke.

    Coke,  Cafe Americano, and Vernon's Ginger Ale.

       I'm a big fan of the sunday morning Gurkha Turk and Kona coffee selection...otherwise a Black Puro and a Magic Hat #9 suffice.

    What do you smoke with a Ginger Ale? Just wandering as I love Ginger Ale.

    Hello Sane,

    So far, I have only smoked 2 cigars brands, AVO no.2, and another that I do not know the proper name of. But it comes from The Griffins, mild blend. Vernon's Ginger Ale is different from a lot of other Ginger Ale makers. It has a bolder taste, and my Grandpa used to drink it all the time.Big Smile [:D]

    I have not had Vernon's Ginger Ale, some of the local pubs make a good strong ginger ale so that is what I try and drink. I'm not a big fan of sweet drinks and I love fresh ginger.

    hey cphk.. You have hit on two of my favorite cigars with Avo and The Griffins.. Both nice mild cigars that I know would be great with a Ginger Ale. I find Vernons a bit sweeter than most gingers but that is a combination that I do enjoy as well.

    Have you tried the Avo's Domaine line, kas?

    Yes, I have... I think that has become my favorite line of the Avo's. Alot more flavor and kick than the original ( which is also very fine ) The Domaine has great taste with each draw, and perfect construction on every stick, which you know, The Domain is more full bodied which I have come to enjoy. Avo is one of the first, what I call, Premium Plus cigars that I smoked and I still keep them on hand because they are so good. Which reminds me I only have one left.
  • urbinourbino Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,517
    Yeah, that sounds like them, alright. I'd still call them on the mild side of medium, though. One of the things I find really striking about them is the smell of the 2d-hand smoke. It's almost floral. As I think I said when I reviewed them, they've got the least offensive odor of any cigar I've ever smoked; definitely the cigar I'd go to if I needed something to smoke around non-smokers.

    I enjoy a "Doc Browns"blackcherry soda I guess I'm old school but no one makes a better pop..W/that I like a CAO MX2,that hits the spot..Also a Gurkha Symphony w/a double of 10yr.old Glenmorangie,and of course that stogie you gotta have on Sun.watching the games you know the one that ends up being slammed if you team loses the cigar of choice is the Indian Tabac "Chief"w/a Guinness Stout..Thats all I have to say about that..Enjoy..

    I happen to like an ice cold Mike's Hard Lemonade or Mango Punch with a smoke... as far as alcohol goes there isn't really anything to them, but the taste really seems to smooth things out... the citrus balances with the earthy parts of the cigar...

    Love wiskey - scotch or burbon with a cigar, but my favorite has got to be a CT wrapper and a Dunks coffee.

    Flor de Cana 18 year or Havana Club Barrel Proof are my favs. I tend to like rum. That said, I always enjoy a good scotch, wine or coffee pairing too.

    lol.. I've tried a lot of drinks and I just find that they over power the cigar. I tend to enjoy coffee, tea or water with cigars. Even with gurkha reserves and cognac it still over powers.

    Guinness, coffee, or sweet tea are some of my current favorite beverages to enjoy with a fine cigar.
