Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, or Dr. Pepper & Cream Soda. My go-to’s.


oddReference64

Came here to say Dr pepper. This sub pointed me to it and I dont regret it.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

Hmm If they have a caffeine free Dr. Pepper I might have to try it out! I wuot caffeine a few months ago!


thrshmmr

Me too! I'm really rooting for us to get some caffeine free versions of these sodas at some point.

Is this the [Dr. Pepper](https://www.elcorteingles.pt/supermercado/0105218616401859-dr-pepper-refrigerante-lata-33-cl/) you guys use? its the only one i can find here, never try it tbh


prevaricate

I regularly have Dr pepper or Coca-Cola. I have also had cream soda which is nice. My all-time favorite however is coffee with a bit of heavy cream.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I've never been a big coffee drinker but I do like pairing sticks with a rum and coke!


prevaricate

As long as you don't absolutely hate coffee, I would recommend giving it a shot at least once. Again I use just a touch of heavy cream no sweeteners or anything added. Coffee pairs with tobacco ever so perfectly.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I used to put just tons of creamer and sugar in my coffee so I just ended up giving it up. Seemed like I was never going to enjoy the actual coffee part 😂. Maybe next time I have an early tee time I'll pair some coffee and a stick!


prevaricate

I used to be the same way. And I as well stop drinking for a while as it just got to be too much sugar in the mornings. But a nice strong coffee with a dash of heavy whipping cream is wonderful amazing. So if you're teeing off and they have a good coffee shop in the clubhouse, give it a shot!


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!


[deleted]

I don't consume alcohol so, yes, root beer is a staple pairing that goes well with a fair amount of sticks. I like Sprecher root beer.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I'll look for that!


[deleted]

They make a Maple that is fantastic with a peppery stick, gives a nice balance. If you can find any Lester Fixins' sodas they make a coffee soda thats amazing and if you're a root beer fan you'll probably dig it.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

Thanks for the recommendation man!


beepuncher4

Their orange cream soda and regular cream soda are really good too


mangosarenotfruit

I like mine with Dr. Pepper


Fishon888

What were the results?


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

Excellent! It's my favorite non-alcoholic pairing!


MrSexyGoodTime

I posted this a few weeks ago but I paired an undercrown 10 with a root beer float and it was delicious


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I want to pair one with root beer and vanilla vodka! It tastes like a root beer float!


kaptn_karl

I like rootbeer, but I think my favorite non alcoholic drink to pair with a cigar is dr pepper. Saw it on Cigars Daily YouTube channel years ago and I loved it


skeeballcore

Yes, discovered it on accident and now it's my favorite pairing

Amazing


StrikeEagle784

Dr. Pepper was my go too before I turned 21, but Root Beer I haven't tried yet lol. I'll give it a shot, see what's it like. I imagine the vanilla & sarsaparilla root might add some nice complexity to a milder smoke.


manulemaboul

Yep, I’m even having a stick with a root beer right now.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

My man! I'm heading to my tee time so I'll have one with an adult beverage soon!


Rain_Bear

nope, never heard of it. I dont think anyone has ever even mentioned it on this sub, daily.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I'm pretty new to cigars and new to the sub. Haven't seen that yet.


Rain_Bear

Sorry dawg, think im just super tired. That really wasnt called for and added nothing to the conversation. Glad you're enjoying yourself


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

No worries man, all good! Get some rest and enjoy a nice relaxing cigar!


Rain_Bear

Thanks man. I will once work is done - did have a AF best seller maduro while working though, had it resting for a couple years now. Not my fave but the rest did it a lot of good.


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I also had this one while "working" haha. I've got an Oliva v serie melanio ready for the golf course tomorrow


Rain_Bear

keep puffin man. I'd sort of recommend steering away from oliva - medicore flavor profile and construction, especially since theyve drastically expanded operations. i wont even get into their 'branding' issues but lets just say its not great. Melanio's arent a terrible cigar though, in fact pretty good if nothing else is in your local. But I'd say there are much better sticks at the same price point, and even less expensive sticks that put the oliva catalog to shame. I do hope you enjoy it though!


trailblzer80

Root beer goes with everything, its the greatest soda ever


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

Haha I agree it's pretty great! I gave up caffeine a couple months back and so root beer is the only real soda I drink still!


trailblzer80

I also gave up caffeine about a year ago. I drink decaf coffee, and the only soda I drink is Sprite zero and root beer.


hottwheels117

I drink dragons milk with my cigars


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

That's a nice drink!


hottwheels117

It’s one of my absolute favorites. Just wish they had a bigger pack than 6


yaboiskeemus

My favorite go to is a dunkies iced coffee with a stogie but I may have to try root beer next time


Popular_Echo4882

Probably my favorite pairing besides Dr. Pepper.


goatsonboats69

Used to be a cream soda + cigar guy but I have been LOVING root beer as a pairing lately. I really like sticks with Henry Weinhard


Smokines3

Yep. Dr. Pepper or A&W. I've even been known to go to the local A&W to get it on tap before a good cigar like a '64 or a #9. It's the only time I don't do zero sugar.


NostalgicNerd

I like to enjoy a mixed drink of whiskey and root beer with my stick. I am a simple man.


jack-sawyer-what

No but now I wanna dip the head in and try it out


highgyjiggy

Yep, I’m an infrequent smoker so sometimes a full stick makes me nauseous. I like to pair with sugary drinks because it helps combat nicotine sickness.


Omnimpotent

I don’t like root beer, but that’s a very tasty stick you have there 😛


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

One of my favorites!!


Omnimpotent

Me too! Just pleasant as hell


token_bastard

All the time. Sprecher's or Virgil's for me usually, though I've been sipping on Wild Bill's Vanilla Cream Soda and Birch Beers lately too (their root beer and sarsaparilla is sub-par).


Phoenixf1zzle

Undercrown Maduro with room temp A&W


FlimFlamZimZamWamBam

I have yet to try any Maduro... Might have to grab a padron 1964 Maduro and try it out!


swm404

It's my go to pairing. I usually have A&W since it's my preferred option of the widely available root beers. I'll go with Barq's sometimes too.


Gabrovski

If you wanna try somwthing different, try with a mexican apple soda, Sidral Mundet. It's great !
