Root beer seems to cleanse the palate and enhance some of the subtle flavors in a cigar.

Yep, that's what I find. I usually drink Barq's but I like most rootbeers. Pretty much rootbeer and peach Snapple are all I have with cigars. I've been fasting sodas the past couple weeks and cigars definitely aren't as good with just water.

Oh, and for flavors it brings out caramel and vanilla notes, sweetness, and just enhances the whole cigar.

I don't smoke mild stuff though so maybe it overpowers the smoke?
