Having a large amount of cigars, I normally smoke whatever is on hand. For me, I never smoke anything less than medium strength cigars with toro being the preferred size.

@DaveM I prefer the toro size myself. But for a nice long smoke, nothing beats a double corona. As I generally prefer the Islays in single malt, I usually pair that with a full bodied smoke, such as a Padron or Gurkha.

I enjoy cigars, and I enjoy whisky. I never really have them together though. To me, the cigar just wrecks my palate too much for me to fully enjoy my whisky. I enjoy a nice Gurkha when I do smoke. And I'm still kind of a cigar sissy, I usually like smaller, mild ones. The Rocky Patel white label Connecticut is a great one.

@casualtorture I’m a big fan of RP across the board. They are all quality smokes. Try The Edge by him and the JFR. Great sticks.

Who likes a good cigar with their whiskey, and what are some pairings that work for you? Last night, I had a Romeo y Julieta Reserve with Four Roses Small Batch, and that combination was perfect for me. The cigar was creamy and medium-bodied, and the sweetness of the bourbon complimented the smoke very well.
