Favorite non-alcoholic drink while smoking

I know it seems most prefer to have a nice strong drink with a cigar, but I don't drink much anymore nor do I want to. Last night I was drinking root beer with my Nepalese Warrior, but typically my drink of choice is tea (hot or iced). How about everyone else?

    coke-a-cola classic.

    not pepsi.
    i do like pepsi but not with a cigar.

    in the summer, a nice cold iced tea is great.

    while doing a review, only water.

    Usually Dr. Pepper or Coke or Pepsi, something that can actually stand up to all the flavors in a cigar. For some reason I don't like water with a stogie, just makes cigar mouth more apparent to me.

    Freashly roasted beans (of various countries) ground and blended into the perfect cup of black coffee. French pressed. Mmmmm.

    Non-Alcoholic...geez if you went the other way i'd have a bunch of suggestions. Usually iced tea or coffee, depending on the temp outside.

    I gotta plug the french press too, i used to think they were for prima-donna hippies until i tried one, now i have one at home and one at work.

    as a general rule I drink only water with cigars, the only exception I make is beer in the right circumstances. though this weekend I broke my rule vacationing in phoenix. I had champagne with a cigar twice. wasnt that interesting.

    One more plug for the French Press. Otherwise, water or Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea.

    Fav non-alky drink--SIERRA MIST-who woulda thunk it!!! Sun drawn iced tea also makes the summer time cut...

    The only non-alcoholic drink I drink is water....or whey protein... but there is something disturbing with that paring!

    wow, My mouth gets way too dry. I usually go for dr. pepper. if it's a light smoke I go for water.

    They make drinks without alcohol???? WTF?

    Honestly, I can count the times I've had a cigar without an alcoholic beverage on one hand, and in those instances, I drank nothing.

    In unrelated news, I just wet my pants and the room is spinning.

    It's the high-caffeine, Splenda version of Diet Pepsi.. no calories, and I think 79 mg of caffeine. It's pretty darn tasty, although with as much soda as I drink, I save those as a performance enhancer before climbing or hockey.

    I forgot to add mocha and coffee.

    I recently found out that I really enjoy a glass of room temp ginger ale with my smoke.
  • bbc020bbc020 Posts: 1,422 ✭
    MMMM....Ginger ale. I love me some Schwepp's, but for me ginger ale is a little too sweet with a cigar. Maybe room temp is better?

    Hey, now that is funny. I thought that I was the only person out there who even thought about a "better" Ginger Ale. Schwepp's is without a doubt the best Ginger Ale there is. It isn't sweet like the others. If it were a good wine it would be around a 1 or 2 compared with most out there being in the 3 - 5 range of sweetness.
    I haven't tried one with a cigar yet. Maybe I'll give it a try. Sometihing about the way a good cup of freshly roasted/ ground coffee compliments the flavors of a cigar, just seems like a natural fit. I suppose it is because the flavors we taste in our sticks are quite often referred to coffee bean, or in that family of tastes, so it is sort of a natural drink with no overwhelming tastes to get in the way of the cigars flavors.

    I agree totally that Schwepp's is the best, and while it isn't as sweet as the other bubble gum ginger ales, I still consider it to be somewhat sweet. It just isn't too sweet when it comes to other ginger ales.

    I should own stock in Schwepps, everytime I go to the grocery store I buy 48 cans.(luckily I don't go too often) I keep it at my office, at my home, and gladly share it with friends. I find that I enjoy it after meals or after a nice long smoke. Sometime before also
