So I know that many people enjoy sitting down and having a nice cup of gourmet coffee or a fine wine with a cigar but I've found that I really enjoy having a coke when I smoke. Anyone else share this same in combination with their sticks?

cola is a good combo... if i'm drinking non alcoholic beverages, i stick to some sort of dark soda for full bodied cigars and a nice ginger ale for mild sticks
Coke is a good combo with cigars but either some sort of liquor or coffee def. brings out more flavors of the cigars. Just tonight I had scotch and a cigar, good combo.
You haven't been reading CA by any chance have you?Quote:

No I haven't been reading CA but that's pretty interesting. I was just thinking about it tonight while I was enjoying a Roxor Corona (this was the first time I had one/had heard of one and they are great cigars. definately try them out if you get the chance).
I"m a big fan of coke while smoking, though I typically 50/50 it with some type of whiskey.
If there is coke around, I'll drink it while smoking. Although I drink whatever I am feeling like with the cigar. Be it scotch, coffee, water, juice, etc.
I tried coke once, got an ice cube stuck in my nose... *rimshot*
Anyway, I prefer some sort of a fizzy, chemical filled drink with a cigar. Usually coke, but Mtn. Dew works well also.
Pepsi is my favorite with a cigar.
Blasphemy!Quote:

I read the article in CA. That guy has a huge wine collection also and he says he would rather have the coke with a cigar. The guy doing the interview thought he was joking when he said it. I think coke is great with a cigar.
yeah, I'm a huge wine fan, but find it doesn't seem to compliment cigars very well. Seems like the flavors involved don't mix all that well, but that's just my opinion. I know a lot of people enjoy strong wines, like cab sav, with wine.Quote:

HUH?!....I'm just the other way, for a full bodied, I prefer a sprite or 7up, and for lighter cigars I think dr. pepper or coke matches. To each your own, I suppose.Quote:

The sweetness is a nice contrast to some cigars.
I was thinking the same thing when I read his post. I also prefer coke with my cigars. Or.. a nice dark beer.Quote:

I generally take water with my cigars. However, a nice Scotch if the cigar is strong enough.
I find that a decent full bodied Burgundy, Claret or Syrah goes very well with a cigar. Coke works for me also.
I don't think you can go wrong with drinking and smoking a cigar. I normally drink what I feel like, be it beer, wine, soda, coke, or liquor.
I've drank all the above with the same brand cigar and notice no difference. Usually, I just drink something to prevent my mouth from getting dry. Smoking tends to do that to me.

I often emjoy a diet soda with my cigar, so no you are not alone.
Dr. Pepper or any of the store brand variants is great to me.
Tried Mountain Dew and a cigar last night.
Surprisingly it was a good mix.
yeah i tried some mountain dew the other night too. it is pretty good i must say.
i don't like coke. but dr. pepper is my favorite. and i don't like the off brands!
Yep, I'm totally digging the smoke & coke mix. Good call!
Dr. Thunder or Mt. Lightning for my cheap ass (Wally World brands).
Anything with a nice kick works great for me. The aforementioned sodas if I'm not in an adult beverage mood, or a nice scotch or bourbon if I am.

anyone ever try Red Bull or some type of energy drink with your smokes? I'm curious as to the effect that this might have. Maybe I'll try it out this weekend....
Soda just too sweet for me and leaves a nasty flavor in my mouth. Need to mix it with whiskey. Water or coffee works well.

I've tired Full Throttle with a cigar, no real effect happened for me, just a good thirst quincher.Quote:

I think maybe it is the carbonation that makes it good. It adds a different kind of bite than what the cigar gives. I had a Cherry Coke with my smoke tonight......
For sure, I absolutely enjoy a cold Pepsi or Coke a Cola with my smoke. It kinda makes it spicy, in some twisted way ahah..
Ahah now try this for fun. Get a smoke and said soft drink, and try it out of a can and put of the bottle. To me anyhow, the can has a better bite more so than bottle.
In the words of the great homer simpson......beeeer!
