cigars and root beer - Page 3

Domer · 01-18-2011, 06:04 PM

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.

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

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!

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 love rootbeer with a mild cigar. In that combination there would no overlapping of taste.

Not all combos will go together well in my experience. I like a spicey cigar with my RB. That's a good combo.

Root beer, Dr. Pepper, and Coke are my usual complements
with a cigar. Even OJ is good, but may be overpowering.

A cigar bar in the nearby city introduced me to Napolean Brandy
with my cigars, and Cognac and Calvados also sound good. But
I don't often drink liquer. Maybe this year I'll get a bottle of brandy
or cognac to sip with my smokes. Might be a nice change of pace.
Those bottles aren't cheap, though!

I'm a fan of root beer with my cigars. I prefer Capt'n Eli's root beer when I can find it. Boylans root beer and creamy red birch beer are also favorites of mine.

I always try to avoid soda and other sweet drinks with cigars. I just don't think they pair well. Almost like it over works your mouth making it harder for me to taste the cigar.
