Just don't do it. :smiley11:
Most times I have a large cup of coffee or sometimes a alcoholic drink, even both at the same time with a cigar. But at work they happen to have a few Pepsi's sitting around and I decided to try it. My mistake.
Just doesn't go well together.

Edit: One day I will learn English.
Coffee and alcohol are a good combo. I also like good old water with a nice smoke. :smiley37:
Unless there is a generous amount of 7 in my 7-up or Rum in my Coke I don't drink soda while smoking a cigar.
I prefer Pepsi with cigars...Far as soft drinks go. Different strokes for different folks.:smiley37:
I prefer Iced Tea or Guiness Stout whilest puffing away .:smiley41:
Yup.
I enjoy a good rye/coke with my smokes.
Generally it's water or beer, but I've enjoyed Coke and also orange Crush with a cigar before.
mmmmmmm....root beer...
Sasparilla.
Fucking awesome, I haven't had an Orange Crush in forever. They rock.Quote:

vanilla coke goes good with java by drew estate
I always need to have a lot of dr pepper or at least water. i can't smoke and not have something to drink at the same time.
Water or a dark liquor like rum or Whiskey on the rocks or neat. I've had the bad experience of having my beer mask or cover up the taste of some cigars I've smoked. Has that happened to anyone else?
the only time I have noticed a problem was with a local brewerys draft beer, the beer sucks anyway but it was what was around. I took one sip and my next puff on a 1926 tasted awful.
So obviously I tossed the beer because I'm NOT tossing that cigar.
Other than that I generally enjoy everything with my cigars. But I also tend to smoke stronger cigars.
Alcohol Abuse! :smiley3:Quote:

I drink Coffee or Water in the morning
I drink coffee or beer or water at lunch
I drink Bourbon, Scotch, beer, or water in the evening
I find a number of drinks go well with cigars depending on the cigar. Diet sodas, coffee and teas.
I have to say that good fresh ground black coffee is probably my favorite pairing.
As far as alchoholic drinks go, A dark malty stout or Belgian Ale, Port, Bourbon or Scotch whiskies, and certain liquers go well. I don't like white or red wine in particular with a cigar, although I enjoy them with food.
As far as soft drinks go, I stick with spice flavored ones like Vernors ginger ale, Root Beer or Sasparilla, Dr. Pepper, or Cola. High carbonation has an acidic effect on your palate, so it can easily overpower the delicate flavors in a fine cigar.
One thing I do to maximize cigar enjoyment. Always quench your thirst before smoking a cigar and just sip the accompanying beverage to help cleanse the palate.
Most of the time I have a cigar and beer together it;s out at the bar with some friends, so I smoke the same less expensive smokes that I bring to share. In this situation a cover up of the taste a little bit won't kill me, unless it makes the cigar taste BAD. Though that hasn;t happened yet.Quote:

Sprecher's Root Beer, it's the rootin' tootinist root beer out there
I usually drink coffee or hot tea with my cigars. When I have a cold drink with my cigars, it hurts my teeth...so hot drink and a nice cigar works better for me!:smiley41:
I'm still....we'll say adjusting...to really dark beers, but I don't drink pale yellow stuff either. Kinda in between.Quote:

i have to second the DP. i like a good beer with my cigars too.Quote:

On this subject, has anyone tried Coke Zero? This is really the only soda I drink anymore, unless I feel like carbing up with Dr. Pepper. My personal opinion is that Coke Zero is the best 0 calorie, 0 sugar, 0 carb soda on the market.
If anyone from Coke headquarters is reading and wants to comp me for this advertisement, pm me for wire transfer details.:smiley14:
coffee or tea in the morning/daytime. especially espresso based coffees.
blended or single malt scotch in the evening.
Good alternatives would be VSOP cognac/coffee combined.
I don't like sweet tasting drinks with my cigars.
Are you saying cognac IN your coffee or cognac WITH your coffee? Cognac in your coffee sounds... interesting. Okay, weird. :)Quote:
