People are going to find this weird but chocolate milk really goes well with a good cigar. It does cover a bit of the taste of the cigar but they pair well on very strong cigars.

Orange juice works really well also as the acid clears the palate between puffs. This IMO

It's been said but besides a good bourbon I usually do coffee, water, ginger ale or a diet coke. Must try a Dr Pepper myself.

Surprisingly the wife came home with a milk shake while I was out back enjoying a stick and it happened to be an awesome pairing!

All of my normal non-alcoholic pairings have already been listed...

in the AM.. its almost always coffee...

by noon I normally transition to just plain old tap water.. but on occasion will grab a root beer or a ginger ale if I happen to have some around the house... orange crush is one of my favorites as well...

Usually coffee, water, or tea. But, anything chocolate is usually a great pairing. Brad Paisley is a non drinker and he has said that he usually has a chocolate shake or a YooHoo when he has a cigar. I have haven't tried YooHoo, but I have tried chocolate milk which is also good. While not a drink, I often have chocolate covered espresso beans with my cigars and then I just drink water.

Diet Dr. Pepper or diet A&W, never fails. Dr. Pepper w/ a V and diet A&W with liga, especially.
Diet Dr. Pepper is always good. I've never thought about A&W... I'll have to give that a shot, thanks, ATL. I really like Mexican Coke or Jone's Cream Soda as well.

Whenever I don't feel like pairing with alcohol, I tend to go with a nice thick Root Beer. A&W will do in a pinch, but I'd go with an IBC or something if your local grocery has a wider selection. Also, Iced coffee goes quite well with most any cigar. Maybe get a splash of caramel flavoring, add cream and sugar to your desired level and you're good to go.

If you are in Michigan area, nearby, our have some Detroit shop at the mall then Vernor's ginger ale (more of a ginger pop/soda) goes great with a full bodied blast

Imo the best ginger ale out there, but also the most calories:)
