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!

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.

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)

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.
