I like them both, so why not? Root beer can be divine when well made.

kydsid · 01-18-2011, 07:57 AM

i do too, especially the one made by the saint arnolds brewery. but together oh no. maybe with a mild cigar, but with the essencia i had it kinda ruined the commute this morning.

Root Beer or Dr Pepper are my favorites with a cigar.

+1. Diet IBC is my go-to non-alcoholic drink with a cigar. I prefer booze, but when it is a morning or afternoon smoke, root beer is great.

I love Virgil's, but I can never make it last long enough to last lighting a cigar, let alone sitting through an entire one

Jones Soda's Root Beer is not bad either. Their Cream Soda goes well with a smoke too.

Souix City Sarsasparilla, Cream Soda or Rootbeer are all nice with every cigar I have tried them with.

Brutus2600 · 01-18-2011, 09:14 AM

Root beer is good....cream soda is better!

If I'm not drinking an alcoholic beverage or coffee, that's the other drink of choice for me.

Well said. It made me lol, too.

I think root beer and ginger ale or the two best carbonated beverages with cigars and probably better than coffee at bringing out cigar flavors.

Root beer seems to cleanse the palate and enhance some of the subtle flavors in a cigar.

Had a Goose Island root beer at the MoB Herf last week and it complemented the cigars just fine.

I'm a fan of Mug rootbeer with my cigars, I find it compliments most sticks pretty well. Never tried it with an Escencia, though.
