Good with a cigar
 

I sometimes want a non-alcoholic drink, and I would like to know what people perfer went not drinking their usual. I know it's a strange request but I am new to this lifestyle so be kind. Thanks:hm

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I like cream soda or coffee.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Cream soda sounds great

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I enjoy water if it is hot, or coffee if it is tolerable.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

If it's hot out: Cold Press, iced tea, ice water, iced americano. Cool: coffee, depth charge, hot tea, espresso, or hot chocolate.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Regularly drink Diet Pepsi...but Cream Soda and Root Beer are always good with my dark and yummy maduros.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Good call Mac, forgot about Root Beer. Hardly ever drink carbonated beverages with cigars but I do like an occasional 1919.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Sprite is great with a cigar. It sounds weird, but it will make you a believer if you try it i am sure.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I like Coke or coffee.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I would not have thought that but I can see it being a nice fresh crisp follow up to a cigar.

What about ginger ale?

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Have I been living in a cave? I am learning so much. Iced americano, never heard of it until now, sounds good.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

An americano is espresso and hot water, iced is espresso and ice. Easy.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

sweet tea for me.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Honestly, I've been going more simple when enjoying my cigars. Water when it's hot outside and coffee when it's cold. The water really washes my mouth out, so I can taste my cigars better. I used to go with beer, but that tended to deaden my taste buds.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

One more vote for Cream Soda. The first time I had it I didn't know what to expect but it was the only soda in the house after a long day of work. I mixed it with some Jim Beam and it went well with the smoke. I have had it both mixed and plain many times since then.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I actually prefer red wine with a cigar. One really enjoyable Cabernet I had recently was a 2006 castle rock from napa valley.

Non-alcoholic beverage? Iced tea, water or diet pepsi. Coffee sometimes.

What is this "non-alcoholic" thing, and why do people drink it?



;) :lr

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Diet root beer if it is a maduro and I have diet root beer...really brings out the chocolate.

Diet coke or water under any other circumstance.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

I almost never have a cigar without a cup of coffee to go with it. Just a habit, I guess.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Cream Soda, Root Beer, and sometimes a Mt Dew.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Usually coke, root beer, or Dr. Pepper for me

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Sweet tea or Dr Pepper.

I don't drink alcohol or coffee, so it's one of these almost exclusively.

For you root beer guys, what brand do you prefer? Or is it a one size fits all thing? When I have it it's usually an IBC or A&W. Occassionally, I'll drink a Barq's.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

:hy

Re: Good with a cigar
 

ice tea,chinese tea or water

Re: Good with a cigar
 

what is "depth charge"?

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Always water, frequently rootbeer, occasionally coffee (hot or iced, or coffee-like drinks.)

There was a thread some time back where someone said "chocolate milkshake." Never tried that one, might be interesting :hm

Mug.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Since my diet I have been drinking water only (except my occasional mixed drink or beer), Derrick has me interested in trying Sprite, I drink this carbonated water from Walmart and they have a Key Lime flavor which is reminiscent of Sprite....I will give this a shot and report back.

IBC is the nectar of the gods. :tu

Think broilermaker, some take regular coffee and drop a shot of expresso in it as others do the same with beer and whisky.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

oh ok. makes sense now.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Water or DR Pepper for me.

I actually like barq's the best, because it has caffeine. Haven't had ibc in ages.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Yeah. Good stuff.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Coffee, water, or tea. Lapsang Souchong is the best tea I've found for cigars. It's got a smokey flavor of its own and it stands up very well even to full flavored smokes. A very satisfying combo.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

+1. it is by far the best. I'll try one with a smoke this weekend.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

On the rare occasion I'm not having a whiskey or cognac with a cigar, I like Perrier or Pellegrino to go with em.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Lemonade, Sweet Tea, Diet Coke and Water are the top drinks.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Typically just water, unless its cool out in which case I'll grab a coffee or I think the coffee will go well with it. Dr. Pepper or root beer(typically mug) if I'm smoking multiple strong ones.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Tried a creme soda with my stick last night. It was incredible, the soda enhanced the creamyness of the smoke. Try it man

Re: Good with a cigar
 

A&W Diet Root Beer, Coffee, Or Lemonade (Crystal Light)!:tu

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Jones Soda company makes my favorite root beer, and cream soda too, for that matter.

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Strange request? Why? If someone always has a drink containing alcohol in their hand, I'm more concerned about them than I am about your request.

Coffee is good with a morning smoke. White Chocolate hot chocolate (or chilled) is another great drink. I also like Cherry-Limeade, but it can overwhelm many cigars. Tea or iced tea is also a great compliment, and I personally like to have some of the different Rooibas teas (Butternut Toffee is my absolute favorite) for their compliment to a cigar.

As for sodas, I am not a big soda drinker, but Cream soda is a nice one to go with a cigar.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

What about a birch beer that doesn't tast like birch beer and ass?

Re: Good with a cigar
 

Iced cappucino, and you don't have to get all fancy about it
