+1 on pairing most smokes with a port wine. I also agree that big spicey wines like syrah, shiraz and cabs really pair well darker leaves. When you have a very earthy, leather cigar i prefer more old world wines like Barolo, chateau neuf du pape and pinot noirs.
Get one of these vacuum sealers, they are cheap and will protect your wines for 7-10 days post opening.
That is about how long it takes me to finish a bottle.I will have to give this a try.
I drink red wines while smoking fairly often, not necessarily because they pair good, but because I don't like white wines. I usually stick to petite sirah, chianti, Shiraz, and occasionally pinot noir and merlot. Not a big fan of cabernet sauvignon though.

Definitely a fan of Port with my cigars.
As with all other wines (and cigars) no two are exactly alike so try a few different brands of the same style or a few different styles from the same brand and work from there.

We use the Vacu-Seal unit as well, mostly out of convenience and the fact that a bottle rarely lasts longer than 2-3 days in our house, but it can only remove so much of the oxygen in the "vacuum." The most effective method I've used is to take an empty, clean plastic water bottle, pour in remaining wine, squeeze until wine level is up to the top and no air remains then screw on the bottle's cap. No air = no oxidation. You can get a good week-and-a-half to two weeks this way!
Tried a great malbec yesterday from Mendoza. Colores del Sol. With you on this thinking bro...
