Its the second half of that combo that killed it, not the first.

I haven't tried root beer with a stick yet. I do have a barq's that I'm enjoying right now (one of the few root beers with caffeine).

A surprising match I found a while back was an erin go bragh irish whiskey with a handful of jelly beans.

Enjoying a Party PCE and root beer as I type.

A&W Root Beer, Cream Soda, and Dr Pepper...great with a nice maduro.

I tend to smoke a lot of maduros and if I'm not drinking whiskey or coffee, root beer and diet coke are my drinks of choice. weird thing is I like Barq's root beer the most, but not with cigars, then I prefer the sweeter root beers like mug or a&w. I guess the sweeter drinks compliments the flavors more in my opinion. Will have to try root beer with other cigars and see if it compliments their flavors.

OK true that!

I give you guys credit, i've found root beer just makes my cigars taste more like the root beer than the cigar. I have had dr pepper with some before as well but it just didn't do it for me. Booze, coffee or water on this side of the tracks.

I have smoked many of an esencia with a virgils or jones root beer and loved it. Leaves more for me I guess.

Dr. Pepper, a definite - yes.

A Yoohoo - never again!

I find both of these posts very intriguing. What flavors does it bring out for you?

[pektel]

root beer flavors.

Sioux City diet sassparilla or diet Dr. Pepper for me if bourbon, rum, stout, or coffee are not available. Diet cola would be a rung down the ladder from those.

I can answer for me: usually the vanilla or creamy notes. My best rootbeer pairings are with the Connecticut or Ecuador wrapped sticks. With maduros, I think it accentuates more of the raisiny-fruit and sometimes provides a nice sweet balance to the spiciness.

I Usually Have An A&W Diet RB With Most Of My Sticks! Love It!

I like Sprite or ginger ale with a corojo. It brings out the cedar or citrus notes.
