Good with a cigar - Page 2

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.

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?

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.

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

Ogre · 09-06-2011, 08:53 AM

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

MurphysLaw · 09-06-2011, 08:58 AM

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

Jasonw560 · 09-06-2011, 09:22 AM

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.

kaisersozei · 09-06-2011, 11:09 AM

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

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

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

gbum · 09-06-2011, 10:21 AM

ice tea,chinese tea or water

irratebass · 09-06-2011, 11:13 AM

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.

DTM · 09-06-2011, 04:26 PM

Water or DR Pepper for me.

xlc12rf · 09-07-2011, 06:15 AM

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

Mikess · 09-07-2011, 08:21 AM

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

DaBear · 09-07-2011, 09:28 AM

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.
