Never made a proper introduction. Here I am, y'all would consider me a noob. Been smoking cigars for ~15 years, more seriously for the past decade, but most seriously the past 2-3 years. While I enjoy a fine top shelfer from time to time, a glance at my humidor will prove my love for more budget smokes. Everything from shop blends, bundles, and 5 Vegas, with only the occasional padron or liga privada thrown in. What can I say? I enjoy cheap smokes, which brought me to cbid a couple years ago. I'm that time I've been enjoying the banter here but very rarely got involved until the past week or so.

Now that that's out of the way, here's a random question for you...err... upstanding citizens:

I'm not a drinker, but love the idea of the various flavors from whiskeys and the like. Since I don't drink, other than the usual coffees and teas, what non-alcoholic beverages can you pick out similar flavors from? Bonus points if they pair well with cigars.

I can’t give you an answer as it relates to the bourbon / whisky part but have enjoyed these non-alcoholic beverages while smoking a cigar:

Dr. Pepper - regular or diet

Lemonade - suggested by Stinger88 / David...and believe it or not, it works!

Mexican Coke

Orange Crush

Root beer - A&W and Mug are my favorites

Bull urine...

Pancakes or waffles ?

Do you like long walks on the beach ?

Daisy Mae or Ellie Mae ?

Do you like camping by the river ?

Cello on or cello off ?

David Lee or Sammy ?

Warner Oland or Sidney Toler ?

Have you been in a Turkish prison ?

Do you like gladiator movies ?

Have you ever seen a grown man naked (other than mirrors or porn) ?

dogs or cats ?

Men or women ?

Wad or fold ?

Sit or squat ?

Mary Ann or Ginger ?

Do sad movies make you cry ?

Butter or margarine ?

Pancho or Cisco ?

You should realize that we already have a Z and a King (of the Cove) and a King just moved in down the street from me this fall.

I hope this latest revision of the questionaire meets with the approval of Palama and that other SOB.

Do you like long walks on the beach - off a short pier, it seems

Daisy Mae or Ellie Mae - I once knew a girl named April May

David Lee or Sammy - I know a David, a Lee, and a Sammy, all the are idiots

Warner Oland or Sidney Toler - I don't trust the Swedes, so I'm going with Sid

Have you been in a Turkish prison - I'm not say liberty to discuss that

Do you like gladiator movies - meh

Have you ever seen a grown man naked (other than mirrors or porn) - I'm also not at liberty to discuss that

dogs or cats - cats are ashholes

Men or women - in today's climate an I even allowed to address something as taboo as gender?

Wad or fold - pssh, my laundry never gets put away, I just wear it straight from the dryer

Sit or squat - again, but at liberty to discuss

Mary Ann or Ginger - yes

Do sad movies make you cry - I'm not crying, you're crying

Butter or margarine - I'm vegan......oh God I almost said that without laughing!

Pancho or Cisco - Leo

I see you've played knifey spoony before...

Welcome to the asylum.

Only other drink other than bourbon I drink with gars is water or occasionally a beer (if paired properly) or an energy drink. It seems to me most sweeter type drinks go well with cigars but i haven't test this theory.

but to really enjoy just the cigar, or one I haven't had before, I pair it with iced water only
