I was too young to drink when Zima first came out. I remember the distinctive bottle, the advertisements and how everyone turned against it saying it sucked and was a drink for girly-men.

Well they have bought Zima back for the summer. I bought a 6 pack at first not knowing what to expect. WOW what a **** drink!

Smooth, tasty and goes down like water. Doesn't make me feel gassy or headachy like beer does. I love it so much I bought a whole case. And man does it go great with a nice cigar. Try it with a Partagas Black , CAO brazilia or Don Felo and then get back to me. The soft sweetness marries beautifully with the elegant smoke of a cigar.

I love ZIMA. Now the only 2 malt beverages that this nig can stand are Crabbies Ginger Beer and now my new favorite, luscious Zima.

I would have thought your malt liquor of choice to be Colt .45Anxious

I drank a ton of Zima summer of 96. Of course I was 18 and dumb so that would explain it. Might give it a go for old time sake but doubt I would make it my summer drink.


Colt 45, is that racist? Who knows anymore?

Why not just eat cotton candy with your cigar? Zima was bad way back then, I'm sure it still is.

That's no test. John's friends will drink anything, especially if it's free, lol.

Crap. Weather forcast shows 80% chance of rain and thunder showers on Saturday. I hope it changes.

That Zima sounds like it will pair well with Don Smith serie Dee cigars.

Zima was one of those things that was interesting for about 15 minutes of fame. Go figure they would bring it back after we forgot how bad it was. They will pull it again and reintroduce next year when it will be new again.

GFN, Drink it in a binge and then tell us it is the Drink of Gods. Pray at the Porcelain throne.

I can see the new ad for that stuff now.

Zima...makes really bad things taste palatable!

I bet it pairs well with a Lone Wolf.

Chuck Norris would be pleased.

Doc, I think you are close. Zima makes really bad things taste less bad.

One great thing about Czechs, when you're wrong, stay wrong. What could be better than a drink that tastes like Orange flavored Schaefer? Not much. I love Zima personally; it's a trainwreck. Kinda like that chick that's so ugly you have to look at her a couple more times just to make sure she's really that ugly.

Just cracked one and not a fan anymore. Taste like a sprite with a touch of alcohol. I don't care for citrus normally with my cigars.

Well, apparently, no one else at the herf was a fan either . . . 5 of the 6 you brought are still in the cooler. RollEyes

But thats the mistake. Drink anything in a binge and you will feel like **** the next day.

I always drink in moderation. Be it my Crabbies, Zima or when I'm sipping some 'yac. I like to have at most 4 drinks. Just as long as the cigar lasts.

Worked up a good sweat and thirst, this afternoon, cleaning up after yesterday's herf.
Poured myself a big tall glass of Zima and downed about half of it.
Quite refreshing, but I had no desire whatsoever to finish the second half.

Smart man.

Are you going to post about the herf? Maybe a photo or two? I'm really bummed that I couldn't make it, but that migrane had me down all day. Nauseous and couldn't even think about smoking a cigar, nor would I have been able to make the drive.

They are even more refreshing if you put it in the freezer for an hour or 2 until it gets ice crystals in the bottle.

Absolutely delicious

Nothing much to post, Dave.
Same ole same ole.
Just a good old fashioned BBQ and herf.
Nobody thought to take pictures, sorry.
Everybody was asking for you . . . even Frankie Tripod when we called him.
A good time was had by all . . . or so they tell me.
I missed ya, buddy . . . as did Sally.
Hope you're feeling better.
