The kind of problem I like

[cinda]

I am a frequent drinker of soda with a cigar, I agree with the above Coke or Dr. Pepper seem to go well.

I do agree with water as well, particularly if you are looking for nuance in the stick. Heavier drinks can cloy subtle flavors....

Ever try black coke?

Go down to a good beer store and get a good Belgian beer. A Chimay, Duvel or Delerium Tremens would work nicely.
