Default Drink pairing = Artificial flavor?

Reading over the forum and various other places this topic has not really been discussed. Maybe it's because it's a common sense understanding. Or maybe I am just over analytical.

Reading threads like "Favorite drink for smoking stogies with?", "Cigar Drink Pairing Advice", etc. I began to realize just how many people drink various beverages with their cigars. This got me thinking of how often we see reviews, comments and advice given on what is a cigar(s) flavor. And then maybe how many of these "flavors" are influenced by that person's choice of accompanying drink.

It's not really a major concern, but it does intrigue me. If someone was pairing their cigar with a coffee and thinks the cigar is great, they might find that when paired with a coke, it's not so great or vice versa. Does that reflect then on the cigar or the drink chosen? And what effect does pairing have on strength or fullness of flavor? Would that same cigar taste better/worse if not paired with a drink at all or simply water? If so, does it truly reflect the cigars flavor for recommendation or review?

I hope this provides good discussion. If not, just simply smoke what you like and like what you smoke is always a good motto.
