Always water. Anything else is gonna really muddle the flavor. Sometimes when I am getting tasteless bowls or cigars I drink a few swigs of water and suddenly the flavor bursts. Also nice because it cools the mouth down a little
Hot coffee, Hot tea in the mornings or cool days. Iced tea or cold water mostly.
My preferences in summer are iced tea, iced coffee and occasionally a nice cold ale or stout.
In winter, I like strong coffee, expresso or a good hot black or oolong tea.
Unlike with cigars, I do not prefer bourbons, rums or whiskeys with pipes, as those tend to overpower the nuances in fine pipe tobacco blends.
As stated, with cigars, most anything is on the table!

I find that a good coffee is a great pairing in the early morning or when it is cold out... but I can also go for a good bourbon and ginger beer. On a hot afternoon, a frosty Arnold Palmer is a nice pairing too.
Water. Coffee. Tea - used to be a big fan of Russian Caravan with my pipe, need to buy more of that.
Most recently, I've taken to bringing my bottle of aquavit with me to the lounge, let the caraway cleanse my palate as necessary between puffs.

In the mornings an espresso or Americano and in the evenings either a single malt, dark rum, pot still brandy neat or a glass of red wine (Pinotage, Shiraz or Merlot).
