I generally tend to reach for the port or my Bacardi 8yr when I've got a PSD4 in my hand. Woodford Reserve goes well with most CCs I've tried lately too. SM Scotches are a bit trickier though. I lean toward the more peaty lines (lagavulin, laphroig and jura) and haven't always been wowed by the combos. Of course, for the brotherhood, I'll keep trying!

I mainly drink water or Diet Coke
That's funny you say that, I thought I was the only person who thought that diet coke was a suitable drink for a fairly strong cigar! Good to hear!

I really enjoy Wiser's very old 18yr candian whiskey. For 30 dollars a bottle, it can't be beat and is 10 times smoother than crown royal special reserve. Goes great with pretty much any cigar.

I really enjoy cognac with a cigar. Beer works great, too, but I normally just end up drinking whatever I can find (usually water, lol).

I would have thought you paired them with Pacific water.?
No. I like the exotic idea of sitting on Fiji smoking a cigar under a palm tree.
