Sketcha ... when you're in the mood for a comparison, give this one a try and let me know what you think ...

To avoid the beverage coloring the taste of a new cigar that I'm evaluating, I generally will only drink Pellegrino or Apollinaris mineral water with the cigar.

With cigars to which I'm familiar, it can be anything from coffee to Cruzan Single Estate rum.

i'm fully addicted to coke and can't really drink alcohol (price factor and diabetic as well -- there's less carbs/sugar in coke than liquor the way i drink coke), so my favorite libation's definitely an ice-cold coke to quench 'gar-initiated thirst. also helps balance things out when/if the stick gets hot, and i find that, for my taste, it really does compliment the stick i'm sucking on. i'll have a few swallows of spring water along the way just to evaluate the stick w/o the coke's added sweetness.

sketcha,

Really want to try the Balvenie Portwood...I've had the Doublewood and REALLY like it.

I need a higher paying job.

Just recently I tried diet cream soda, it complimented my maduro quite nicely. Another non-caffeine alternative!

Well... I delayed the scotch and had a mystery cigar last night which I think was a very well aged CAO L'Anniversarie maduro corona. Diet Pepsi was the libation and it was fair.... (the cigar was good though!!) Still excited about the Black Pearl/Diet Rite combo for next Monday. Maye the scotch thing tommorrow.

I admit it. My non-alcoholic choice is Mountain Dew. I think the sweetness match almost all smokes. Of course, I started long ago on Swisher Sweets, so maybe thats why. 😛

Diet RC is also sweetened with Splenda and it has the usual amount of caffeine. I occasionally float some Jim Beam on top. Beam has a little bite that I like. I wish Coke would come out with Splenda.

Thanks SteveS. I'll put it on my list.

Billyj,

We also have the Double Wood. The Port Wood is much better. You gotta' try it.

jd,

I like Mt.Dew as well, but have yet to have it with a cigar.

LL,

Thanks for the info. I've never seen Diet RC. I assumed Diet Rite WAS RC's diet.

water, pepsi, NEVER Rum lmao Hensed shhhh 🙂

Well dbguru?

Well he had the B.Pearl but that wasn't a pepsi.

For those of you in my general area I would suggest a Ski with your gar. It matches up quite nice.

For those of you who can not get Ski you don't know what you are missing.

Crown neat or coffee

They both just seem to go with cigars to me.

I've got a Gran Habano with Coke right now 🙂 mmmmmmmmmm puff puff puff puff *ahhhhhhh* LOL

early morning Encanto Elegante with coffee (complete wif sugar and creamora) 🙂

What kind of drink is Ski? Ski as in brewski?
