I haven't tried root beer with a stick yet. I do have a barq's that I'm enjoying right now (one of the few root beers with caffeine).

A surprising match I found a while back was an erin go bragh irish whiskey with a handful of jelly beans.

I tend to smoke a lot of maduros and if I'm not drinking whiskey or coffee, root beer and diet coke are my drinks of choice. weird thing is I like Barq's root beer the most, but not with cigars, then I prefer the sweeter root beers like mug or a&w. I guess the sweeter drinks compliments the flavors more in my opinion. Will have to try root beer with other cigars and see if it compliments their flavors.

I give you guys credit, i've found root beer just makes my cigars taste more like the root beer than the cigar. I have had dr pepper with some before as well but it just didn't do it for me. Booze, coffee or water on this side of the tracks.

I have smoked many of an esencia with a virgils or jones root beer and loved it. Leaves more for me I guess.

I find both of these posts very intriguing. What flavors does it bring out for you?

Sioux City diet sassparilla or diet Dr. Pepper for me if bourbon, rum, stout, or coffee are not available. Diet cola would be a rung down the ladder from those.

I can answer for me: usually the vanilla or creamy notes. My best rootbeer pairings are with the Connecticut or Ecuador wrapped sticks. With maduros, I think it accentuates more of the raisiny-fruit and sometimes provides a nice sweet balance to the spiciness.

I like Sprite or ginger ale with a corojo. It brings out the cedar or citrus notes.
