Best nonalcoholic drunk pairing

[the camaro show]

so earlier today I was smoking a four kicks sublime and was thirsty and opened up a Dr Pepper and quite honestly it paired really well it really help bring out some more complex flavors in it. I was really surprised normally I only drink water when I smoke but this was a eye opener.

Cream soda, dr pepper, coke, coffee, latte, and espresso, are all good

The problem for me is that pop is usually too sweet, and the flavors actually mute some of the cigar's flavors. I've had good luck pairing tea with cigars where, like a true pairing, one will benefit the flavors of the other (try a smoked Earl grey tea with a Laranja). But black coffee and Virgil's rootbeer never taste bad with cigars, even if they don't have a complimentary effect.

It’s hard to beat a good cup of coffee with a cigar

I'm with VeloRock, anything real sweet is a killer as far as enjoying the cigar. I like lemon flavored sparkling water to cleanse the palate, hot tea or black coffee..

Diet Dr. Pepper, Coffee, Mineral Water, Club Soda

So I’m chilling in Key West for a few days and this morning I had a Cuban coffee (colada) paired with a Rose of Sharon. In a word, SUBLIME.

Absolutely. I prefer a Dr. Pepper or a good ginger ale.

Good to know

 

[mpomario]

A good coffeee, ginger beer, root beer, or Arnold Palmer with a lot of ice are good to me.

DP, ginger ale, or 7up. Sodas will also help with the green feeling if your not use to a hevy nic smoke.

coffee and dr pepper are def. the ones everyone talks about and i can confirm both of them go very well with cigars imho. something more floral also pairs well with certain sticks too, like an herbal tea or green tea...but i prefer the tea to be cold when i pair it with smokes.

Black coffee is my go-to but +1 to earl grey, it's an underrated drink pairing IMO.

Also unsweetened or *lightly* sweetened iced tea

As I type this, I’m sitting outside with a lightly sweetened cup of cold brew coffee and smoking a Southern Draw Firethorn. This day is already going well.

Peach tea with a generous amount of ice to cut the sweetness has been my go to when available
