Do you think a certain beverage can make or break a cigar experience. I find fizzy pop really detracts from it. A spicy cigar with a carbonated beverage makes it harsh on my throat. I prefer iced tea with lemonade or a cappo.

I have really started to prefer bourbon with a cigar. I've always been more of a beer drinker and so I've had beer with cigars before and haven't had it detract from my experience. But I do think a good bourbon enhances my experience nowadays. I haven't begun trying to pair anything specific though.

Other the A&W Root-beer Floats I stopped drinking carbonated drinks long ago, and I may drink a case of beer per year. I found that fizzy stuff interferes with a lot of flavors. But beer does seem to make some food better.

The same three sodas I prefer. Beer or water also. I have found some heavier beers take away from the flavor of a cigar also, in my opinion.Lee.mcglynn:Mmmmhhhhhh I kinda like sprite dr pepper and coke with cigars...I find the carbonation helps clean my pallet -
I typically have a couple of things with my cigar. Normally coke and bourbon. NOT mixed together!. I find that more full bodied cigars pair well with higher proof bourbons. I think they really complement each other.

If I'm only trying to taste the cigar and only get the profile of it, the I stick with water or lemon water. If I'm just there to smoke and enjoy without trying to pick apart the cigar and body a profile then either Coje, or beer or bourbon/whiskey/scotch.

I guess I'm an oddball.
I really like Root Beer or Sarsparilla with a lot of my cigars, especially cameroons. -
That actually makes sense to me though Tony, the sweet and mild spice of sasparilla especially makes a lot of sense and I could see how the seer Cameroon wrapper pairs well with those drinks. Cool idea might have to try it sometime.0patience:I guess I'm an oddball.

Sierra Mist too, think it's the citrus base. Coke, Pepsi all of them are citrus based aren't they? I do prefer un-carbonated beverages though now that you bring it up, like coffee, tea or whiskey, even water. Always have a glass of sipping water with them too.Lee.mcglynn:Mmmmhhhhhh I kinda like sprite dr pepper and coke with cigars...I find the carbonation helps clean my pallet
