Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I had a Barq's Creme Soda today with a Alec Bradley Tempus. It was a good combo.

Tomorrow I will hit the store and buy some more creme soda.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I knew this would come up...

I went to college in Ann Arbor, and was given Faygo as creme soda... all I can say is:pu:pu

Is it ginger ale mixed with creme soda and sewage water from "the D"?

You would think with all Michiganders eating at A&W's they would know what real creme soda is, East Coast knows what creme soda is... DR. BROWNS!!:tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

+1 for Dr. Browns

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

:D

I'm with you on the Dr. Brown's. Only problem is I can't look at a shelf of it without being magnetized to the Cel-ray. The poor creme soda, tasty as it is, always gets left behind.

Dr. Browns and a Pastrami/Corned Beef on Rye... Best part of my yearly trip to NYC

And... I love cream soda

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Virgils Cream Soda or Root Beer. After drinking this stuff you won't wanna go back to IBC or Barq. I buy mine at earth fare but you can check the website to see if they sell near you. Its all microbrewed and they made a science out of it. www.virgils.com

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Virgil's does very little for me. It can't touch IBC for the CS, IMO. Barq's- that's just... mediocre.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I picked up 2 12 packs of Barq's Creme Soda at the store yesterday. :tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I've never tried Barq's CS (in fact, I didn't even know they made it), just their RB. What's it like?

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Creme soda. Sorry for the smart a$$ reply, I don't know how to describe creme soda :r

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Fair enough. Kinda pretentious of me to ask, isn't it?

"Sweet and wet, dude. Duh!" :r

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

thats funny, I tried Virgils and loved it. A week later I tried IBC cream soda I didn't even want to finish it. Its way to carbonated compared to Virgils .

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I still think it's toward the lighter end of the carbonation spectrum, though. I find the level just right- quaffable, but not just sugar-water.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I 'm doing a Vegas Cubana and Virgils Cream Soda right now and I love it! It seems bring out the flavors more than what I have tasted before for these smokes. I almost pulled out a 601 red but I thought it might overpower the cream soda.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

A bit OT, but I've been trying out different ginger beers in a quest to make the perfect Dark & Stormy. I really had low expectations for the Goya, being that it was the cheapie in my little collection.

Underestimated!

We have a winner and a fantastic combination with a good dark rum. Haven't done the cigar match-up yet, but I'm expecting oral fireworks when I hook that baby onto something DPGish. Yum, and... look out!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Bought a four pack of Jones creme soda to see what all the hoopla is about. Actully, I gave a A&W creme soda and a smoke a go once and liked the combo, so I can't wait to give Jones a try.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

What does a Dark N Stormy taste like? Is the ginger overpowering? Have been curious about these for some time now. Please let me know. (Sorry for the thread jack)

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

It's very dependent on the ginger beer, itself- hence my methodical search. That said, I haven't managed to make a not-good tasting one yet.

It's a very tasty summer flavor. Ginger beer, but with much rounder body and dimension. Personally, I like a strong ginger beer, but I don't find it too dominant in the drink because the ginger strength is usually effervescent and kind of rides on top of the primary taste rather than interferes with it.

Had a "My Father" today w/ a Cream Soda. Very nice pair.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

So last week I tried another Partagas with the Boylan Black Cherry. As with the root beer, it was decent, but not as good as I felt the creme soda had been. To double-check, I just had that original pairing, and I was right - for me anyway, the cigar/creme soda works the best. Only problem, since the Boylan's come in a clear glass longneck, passerbys think I'm chugging a Corona. :r

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I've often paired cigars with rootbeer, but never tried the creme soda option. Finally got myself some Jones Creme Soda and had it with a RP Fusion natural. Me likey! I think I will pair creme sodas with CTS and root beer with darker, spicier, fuller smokes.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

:wo for the Jones, both Cream Soda and Root Beer. Best I've had. :)

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Found it!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Bump.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Bump, for Anthony.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I may have to try the cream soda. That sounds kinda good.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I have not tried this yet. My neighbor swears by the combo. I have grabbed a couple bottles but I drank them before I ever was able to smoke.

Everytime I drink a rootbeer or cream soda I think of cigars now.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Not drinking alcohol right now I have learned to sample cream sodas and root beers and other sweet drinks. Virgils is my favorite production one. I have been lucky to find some craft root beers that have been great. I am thinking of trying to make my own.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Sounds like a great combo. I like a good Cream Soda or Root beer.
