Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I just took a little break from work - if you can call this work - to enjoy a short smoke. As it is pretty hot and sticky here in Joisey today, I grabbed a Boylan Creme Soda out of the cooler to have with my Partagas Purito. Tons of flavorful smoke from this Marlboro-sized tinned beauty, a 4.25X32 EMS, with just enough pepper to make it interesting. And you may not believe how good it went with that ice-cold creme soda! The soda was not too heavy as to overpower the cigar, just as the cigar was not to strong to burn out the soda. I was shocked, and most pleasantly so.

Hey, don't knock it 'til you tried it, brothers. :ss

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I drink creme soda, coke, chocolate milk with cigars all the time. All work well.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

The ultimate beverage with almost any cigar... havn't found a bad pair yet...

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Knock it? It could be the best thing EVER!!!!:banger

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Jones Cream Soda is my favorite by far and yeah it goes great with a cigar. IBC isn't a bad second place.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Up in Wisconsin we have had Creme Sode and Orange Soda (the one that tastes like a Dreamsicle) with cigars, and it complements the cigars nicely. :tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Had a creme soda with a cigar while driving home from the shore on Sunday. :tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Growing up it was Santa Fe Red Cream soda..I don't even know if they make that anymore. I have a 12 pack of Jones Cream Soda sitting in the fridge...gonna try one tonight. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Cream Soda, Rootbeer and Dr. Pepper have all worked well for me in the past :tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Guess I will put some cream soda on my shopping list!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Cream Soda + a great cigar = :dr

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I'll have to try it. I love cream soda, just havent had it with a cigar.:tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Orange Whip, Orange Whip :banger

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I love it too. If you guys are lucky enought to live by a place that sells micro brewed soda check it out, its whole another world.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

For a regionally-appropriate, roller-approved variation, try champagne cola.

Meanwhile, I will second the IBC recommendation. The lighter carbonation on display makes it extra quaffable with a burning stick.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

HA!! I just tried this the other day and it was awesome! I thought I was nuts tho lol

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Goes great with grape Swishers.:D

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

It's a great combo!! :tu

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

IBC = :dr

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

You're nuts, man...






... grape White Owls!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Why not? I'll never do it because I don't like creme soda, but taste is, indeed, taste!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Now....add man cave to the equation.

Orange Whipped in the man cave!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I've been a fan of root beer with cigars. I'll need to try the cream soda. Thanks for the tip!

My cousin turned me onto drinking IBC Cream Soda a while back. I haven't found a better pairing.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Wow. Guess I'm not as nuts as I feared.

Well, mebbe so, but not about this. :ss

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

9 times out of 10 my drink paring with a cigar is some type of soda. Water does not "clense the palate" between puffs like a soda.
Water may be better when really trying to evaluate all the flavors of the cigar because it does have any other taste. But I like that after a swig of soda it''s kind of like tasting the cigar for the first time/p*ff(sorry) again. :2

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

:tpd: Root beer or coffee (especially a strong Colombian) is my pairing of choice.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Love me some cream soda...so for out of the 50 or so different brands that i've tried Sprechers Cream Soda is my favourite.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I haven't done Creme Soda yet...but I like Root beer with lots of my smokes!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I pretty much always do dr. pepper with my cigars. I haven't tried creme soda yet, it doesn't sound bad at all, I think I'll give it a shot next time.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I'm pretty much strictly "Cigars and Virgil's Root Beer" guy myself. Virgils makes the best root beer, and I'm a root beer snob for sure. :banger

Oh yeah, best creme soda I have ever had is hands-down Sprecher.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I'll have to try a cigar with cream soda. I like to drink sweet tea with a cigar sometimes.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

works well with me since i don't take any alcohol beverages...

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Nice, will have to give this a try.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Was it Jose? He turned me onto this.

One of my favorite cream sodas is Virgil's, but if we talk root beer it has to be Bulldog.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

:hm

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I am going to have to pick up some creme soda. Thanks for the advice :)

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I'm more if a Stogie with Iced or Hot coffee guy depending on the weather.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

My wife looked at me funny when I came home with two cases of Jones Cream Soda yesterday.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I keep Jones Cream Soda in the fridge and I only drink it when I'm smoking cigars. I find it way too sweet at other times but it sure goes great with a smoke.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

You are assuming it was because of the soda, I presume. ;)

So yesterday I tried an H. Upmann Cambio with Boylan Root Beer, figuring the slightly fuller flavor of this cameroon baby might go well with the heavier soda. It was, well OK, maybe because the combo wasn't right or maybe because I rushed the two together (my boss showed up for the first time in 2 weeks inna middle of the test). If the root beer works for you, that's fine - me, I liked the creme soda grouping much better.

Guess my next test will be with the Boylan Black Cherry. :dr

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

With all this talk about cream soda and cigars I decided to give it a try. And you guys are right! Great combination.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Oh, please brotha...

Us New Yorkers have doin' the cream soda and cigar bit fo' years...

DELICIOUS!!

(ps root beer is awesome to, my B&M is always stocked with A&W cause the clientele find the pairing delicious.)

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I just finished a Nestor Miranda lancero with some Jones Cream Soda...WOW!!! What a great combination!!

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Had a couple IBC root beers with my cigars at the MoB Herf last night...not too bad either. My apologies to illinoishoosier's daughter. ;)

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

I enjoy Boylans cream soda with a cigar at the shop.

Re: Cigars And Creme Soda?
 

Boylan's?! In Bay City, Michigan? Where's the Faygo, man?
