Choice of drink can overwhelm cigar's flavor...

I like the tea as it clears my palate a bit, and the Sobe I'm so used to it doesn't impart much of a flavor to me

Similar for me, except that I find Margaritaville Spiked Lemonade has little detectable alcohol taste, and the citric acid clears my palate and leaves little aftertaste behind. Water just doesn't seem to clear away the oils and tastes for me.
