I just wanted to say that thanks to all the hints here and the different opinions I switched from cold milk to iced water and green tea and OH MY! The difference in the smoking experience is different - I can feel much more subtleties in the flavors now! I love it... Even though I still have some good old choco milk with certain cigars...
I accidentally started my own thread, but since has already been established, I will put in my 2 cents for Lemon Lime Gatorade during the mid day and a nice cup of Chamomile Tea in the evening.
When it's cooler out, I drink a lot of coffee. Coffee goes great with a quite a few cigars. During the summer, I try to drink a lot of water, and I tend to drink it when I'm having a cigar most of the time. Iced tea goes great as well. So I guess I'm like most everyone here, lol. I also enjoy Dr. Pepper if I decide to drink a soda while smoking.
I would like to see what non-alcoholic drinks you guys have while smoking cigars. Most people would opt for something alcoholic, but I honestly go for something far different . Most of the times I drink a good old Hershey's Chocolate Milk! Nice and cold - mmmmmm... Goes good with a maduro wrapper . Anybody else there drink milk or other stuff like that? (my alcoholic milk equivalent would be Bailey's)
I do love a cigar with some scotch, but being in Afghanistan I have had to find something else to fill the void. So, I have turned to diet coke and sprite. (nothing does the job like Jonny Walker Black though, I can't wait to get back home!)
Due to some potential health issues looks like I will be taking a bourbon hiatus. Looks like the clear winner is Water. But I am planning to try some ginger Beer with my burn tomorrow.

I like to find small, local sodas wherever I am. River City out of Sacramento is a favorite. All time is St Arnold out of Houston. A good IBC will always be acceptable.
Iced coffee, or decaf iced coffee is usually my preferred beverage (hot in the two cold months). I do enjoy ginger beer also on occasion. Flavored bubble water is also nice sometimes.

Black coffee or a good root beer. I don't drink alcohol, so, welcome to the club.🤷🏽♂️

Root beer with about 3 ounces of heavy cream added to it is incredible, shoutout @Wylaff .
Mostly water and coffee, don't drink much soda but a good cream soda might pair well as does ginger ale.
Agreed. In fact, I believe I will follow that advice, myself. 👍

I am intrigued

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Researching. TY 👍 As far as availability goes, one does what one can.

Iced coffee all day, every day. Alcohol on the occasional Tuesday or Saturday.

There's only two drinks Bourbon and coffee. So if you can't have Bourbon.......
I like a good Kenya AA, Peruvian, or Ethiopian
Do ya blend it, stir it, fold it, whip it real good?
Coffee, diet dr pepper, iced tea, if not a red wine, white russian, or ground beef drink. But YMMV.
I'm being super serious! Ice or no ice?
Show me the way @Wylaff , @CalvinAndHobo .
I am ready....my body is ready.
Like when the ice cream melts in your float, yes?
