Cigars with port

[Robusto]

Major T - No. I haven't tried that, Sir, but I will now. Thank you.

Your avatar is cool, by the way. Who is that?

Robusto - you tried a nice sweet malt like Macallan 10yo sherry cask? Well worth it.

Personally I find port's sweetness a tad overpowering for cigars. But I can imagine it going with something really rich and flavourful quite well -I'm thinking R&J Escudos LE 07 or similar. Wow did I love that cigar!

I enjoy port with cigars but have never looked into special or recommended ports.

All names dropped in these windows will be slurped over time.

I'm inclined to enjoy sweet drinks, so port suits me far better than whisky with a cigar.

LBV

Late Bottle Vintage port (LBV) goes nice with any cigars IMO, and Marks & Spencer do a nice little bottle which is not too expensive.

If you can splash out, then some of the older LBV found in some of the better wine merchants are great with your favourite smoke.

I recently had my first glass of port (Cockburns) with a Ramon Allones Specially Selected. They seemed to go well together to my taste.

There are very few places in London where you can smoke.

If you go to the site for my Cigar Walk there is a list of places you can drink and smoke in central London.

Of all the places I personally recommend Boisdale near Victoria and Franco's in Jermyn street right opposite Davidoff. You just have to go in to meet Edward Sahakian the store owner, and tell him who sent you. He's a really great guy and will help you with your initial selection.

Hi,
The only times I've had cigars so far is at a cigar bar in the middle of london somewhere & a few times by buying a few corona tubos at airports then flying 10 hours and smoking them at the other end with a few mates (fun but not as brilliant).

I have no idea what I had in the cigar bar as it's been a long while now.. but whatever it was it went amazingly well with the glass of port I had.

What cigars would you recommend with a good glass of port?
And are there still cigar bars about in the middle of london & can anyone point me to one if there is? thanks
