Awesome. 17 years, 16 days here.
Another vote for Diet Dr. Peper.

For me it's either Arizona sweet tea or Iced Coffee

I can now happily confirm diet dr pepper as a great choice.

I also got some diet ginger ale (round here Vernor's is the local choice) that I look forward to testing.

Interesting that so many people recommended the Diet Dr. Pepper, I never would have thought of that so I'll have to check it out.

I've seen a lot of variations of this but don't think I saw water with a squeeze of lemon suggested. For me this just seems to freshen my palate after each drink and really allows me to enjoy a great cigar.

Lightly sweetened chrysanthemum tea. Cleans the palate nicely with a light floral aftertaste that seems to complement mild cigars. Also doesn't clash with stronger cigars. Has anyone noticed if citrus beverages cause cigars to taste more bitter?

Hemlock tea?

 

[BoSox55]

coke cherry zero
tonic water with lime
Arizona green tea
and my personal favorite - single malt scotch

 

[Insane Penguin]

Hemlock tea?

on a serious note... cherry 7up is great with a maduro

really anything sweet tasting is good with a cigar, helps take the bite out of it. Personally I enjoy a coke or some sweetened green tea from turkey hill.

my absolute favorite though is drinking coffee with cigars. they just pair so nicely together.

Regular Dr. Pepper for me. I find that if a cigar has any kind of chocolate flavors in them the Dr. Pepper really helps bring that flavor out on the palate. If I am not drinking Dr. Pepper it is water for me.

 

[swingerofbirches]

It's boring ... but I've only ever drank ice water with a cigar.
Might try coffee or hot chocolate on a late fall/early winter day ... who knows ... depends on how froggy a mood i'm in.

 

[criollo]

I like flavored sparkling water (usually cherry). Also sweetened green iced tea.

 

[zimmy71]

My go to drink is Arizona Ice Tea.

 

[carl609]

I go with water, coffee, diet coke, good root beer, or an arnold palmer

 

[AZsteelman]

Diet Coke - or just water...

Tried milk once when I was looking to see what DID NOT go with a cigar...I recall almost puking!


yuck...

That is pretty hardcore. I guess my Strawberry Quick will stay in the fridge
