coocooforroo Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm searching for something non alcoholic to go with a cigar. Last night I found that Diet Coke was NOT the answer...it was so wrong. Any suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsolomon Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 If it has to be non-alchohlic, then it's coffee, water or ice tea for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think a good cola drink is complex enough to pair up with a cigar. I also like sweet tea. A good coffee (not Folgers) can be a nice compliment to a cigar as well. Drinking water allows the bare tastes of the cigar to be exposed, since they wont be mixed with a drink, and in order to fully taste, ones mouth should not be dry.

Habanos2000 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 A nice coffee on a cool evening does wonders with a cigar! I've never been happy drinking soft drinks or water while smoking. Even beer tends to wash away the cigar flavor for me. Although I'd say that 90% of the time I just enjoy the cigar by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Non alcoholic? What is this "non-alcoholic"? I'm with the coffee (hot or iced) or nothing crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aavkk Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Chalk me up as another coffee guy. My buddy Sluggo819 (Evan) turned me on to how good coffee can be and I now use a french press with fresh ground and fresh roasted quality beans. It makes a huge difference over instant or even Starbucks. If its not Rum, then its either coffee or water for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Try some malta. It's a Caribbean drink you can find in Hispanic grocery stores. Tastes like dark beer without the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buch0 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would agree with the above suggestions of a nice coffee or espresso, but I also tend to enjoy a sweet Horlicks vanilla malt with a cigar. Mainly with the likes of a Cohiba or Upmann that produce the creamier honey tastes, I find it couples well in the colder nights. In saying that, its no Hennessey ._.

dicko Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 coffee or tea. I like the sound of iced tea though, I must try as it heats up for summer where I am! it's not about getting boozy but the pairing of a scotch or rum with a cigar is just too good. having said that I normally have a glass of water on standby if my palate gets dry or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cletus Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Although my preference is gin and tonic with my cigars, sometimes I'll just have ice water with lime. I'm fond of Coke Zero, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gradymrobertson Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm usually drinking coffee or a latte. My wife recently bought me a bottle of Rose's Mojito Cocktail mix. It's very good by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtvrtas Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 My favorite n/a drinks with a cigar have to be coffee, lattes, or cappucinno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjellfrick Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I generally have Ceylon tea with a spoonful of honey with my after work cigar. Another favourite is Cuba Cola, a brand of coke we have in sweden. Great looking cap on them! Couldn't find a picture, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
