Alcohol and Tobacco

Why does alcohol pair so well with nicotine?

Post your tobacco preferences when drinking.

I smoke malboro lights when drinking with friends/at bars but grizzly wintergreen is my ending supplement, also the occasional Rocky Patel cigars suit me well. How about you?

Because we have two hands ...

For me, its American Spirits ... but not for long ... Little one on the way ...

The occasional cigar - maduro wrap - with a nice solid stout.

One is a depressant and the other a stimulant. Probably give you a hangover.

I enjoy the occasional cigar with a solid brew. I find that smoking limited my ability to taste the beer and get the most out of it and now that I don't smoke anymore I have a far better palate. The same goes for spicy food too though and I sure as hell haven't given up my chillies.

Homebrew and handrolled cigarets,... That my Mix!

Nicotine is a highly addictive stimulant with no redeeming value.

Don't allow your body to fool your brain.

Special Hops · Jul 6, 2012

Used to smoke an occasional cigar. But last few I have made me sick to my stomach. So I haven't had one in almost a year.

this with something dark and strong

I enjoy cigars with beer, but for me nothing beats the pairing of a great cigar and a single malt scotch with a single ice cube in it.

ReverseApacheMaster · Jul 6, 2012

I used to smoke cigs but I've quit. On occasion I like a nice cigar with some beer or scotch. Hookah is also good from time to time.

nicotine does not go well with anything but cancer!!!!!!!

I gave up smoking 5 years ago and it was the greatest thing I could have done for my health. But, when I did smoke, I would smoke Winston lights, or an occasional cigar while drinking.

rappyfreak · Jul 6, 2012

No clue but I have cut down on smoking a lot, now just smoke maybe a couple of days per month, the rest of the time I vape with volcano cigs. Oh and the eventual Montecristo with nice couple of ounces of Zacapa rum

A man after my own heart!

my go-to cigars lately have been the macanudo 1968 and the padron 2000/4000 series.

Agreed except I prefer a splash of water in my scotch as opposed to an ice cube.

Your either inhaling the smoke, which you shouldn't..... Or you've been smoking cigars that are too heavy for you. Try something lighter next time.

Seriously? What's the point of saying that?

+1 on the single malt w/ just a cube & a good maduro!

Cigarettes kill less people than cars. I assume you don't travel?

Oh come on. Look, his comment was definitely one-sided, and detracted from this thread, but you can't argue that smoking isn't extremely conducive of cancer.

Anyway. Yes, I just had a nice Cohiba and a Dogfish 120 minute on the 4th. It was a rather nice way to end the day.

Fast food causes cancer or heart disease. I don't see the FAT folks complaining... Foodies Against Triglycerides

Actually i would say that fast food and obesity are getting much more negative press in the past 2-3 years than tobacco is.

onthekeg · Jul 6, 2012

Wait until they tax that at 30%. It will come. They are already limiting soft drinks in New York!

dslater · Jul 6, 2012

Back to the topic.

Don't know why they go so good together.

The occasional non-menthol cigarette. Have just started getting into cigars and have moved from Macanudo Hampton Courts to various Maduro and Perdomo cigars. As for beverages, irish whiskey or tequila either with three ice cubes or homebrew or craft brew, primarily IPA's and Beligin Tripels.

To the next generation they won't go so good together. Can't smoke in bars so they won't smoke. They won't know what they are missing. (Pardon the sarcasm.)

I like cigars with whiskey or a good beer. I'm smoking a Cohiba right now and drinking Jack...

Monstar · Jul 6, 2012

O man, I think the same thing every day! American Spirits yellow or Hobbits Weed in the pipe. With any beer.

A pipe is on the top of my to-do list!

Pipes are awesome.

MisterTipsy · Jul 6, 2012

You can't smoke a tobacco pipe unless you have a lot of grey hair. It's a rule.

Nice habanos!!! Wish the trade embargo was lifted here in the US. Cohibas are the best habanos nice!

Their decade cigar (10th aniversary) and 15 year torpedo are awesome too, the 15 year was ranked 6th in the US from one magazine, another had it in top 20, still one of the best. And they are still reasonable priced at between 10 and 15 bucks

I've never had one of those patels before. Ill have to check them out next time I'm stocking the humidor.

But... I'm 26 with no sign of gray hair in sight! I guess it's just cigarettes for me then.
