Smoke and a Coke....is it just me?

[Mikey-OH]

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.

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.

Seems like a lot of folks like something sweet with a cigar. I usually have a beer and a martini. It's been apple martinis for a while, but my wife found this blueberry mix that taste like blue Otter Pops (Remember those?).

The sweetness is a nice contrast to some cigars.

You haven't been reading CA by any chance have you?

5000 box Hong Kong collector prefers pairing cigars with coke.

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.

[drew_goring]

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.

[Shagaroo]

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.

I was thinking the same thing when I read his post. I also prefer coke with my cigars. Or.. a nice dark beer.

i have a Coke with my smoke every time I stop at the B&M.

[nhcigarfan]

I generally take water with my cigars. However, a nice Scotch if the cigar is strong enough.

[stjohnroe]

I find that a decent full bodied Burgundy, Claret or Syrah goes very well with a cigar. Coke works for me also.

I often emjoy a diet soda with my cigar, so no you are not alone.
