Sean3 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Whatever I choose, has to have some sweetness to it...coffee, pop, tea, etc.
Tesoro12 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 My standard is either a French press or cold brew coffee with a small bit of cream. Otherwise for non alcoholic I stick to water.
Philc2001 Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Often I'll get a zephyr Hills sparkling water. Orange is my favorite, but lemon is good too. Refreshing, clears the palate nicely. My wife's coffee is good too in the morning with a MC.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is similar to ginger ale but with a bit more citrus and caffeine. Perfect for cigars. When I do trades I usually try and throw one in the box. It is always a good choice with a cigar, really brings out more flavors without overpowering the tobacco. http://ale8one.com/ Check it out. Cream Soda, root beer & Coke. I'm from Kentucky as well and I have never given Ale 8 a chance. I will try it tonight with a cigar per your suggestion.
NorCalAaron Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 I'd have to say coffee, water or on a rare occasion I may have a cream soda or coke depending on the cigar being smoked.

On another note, I have been drinking the Melon Pomelo LaCroix recently, and I have to say, it compliments Cubans very well.

I woke up with Ale8 on the mind but I didn't understand why. Since our post I thunk and thunk...AH! We were in Santa Barbara recently and THIS! My son and I both picked out a GingerAle. Loved that stuff! 4

Jfeath74 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Coffee in the morning, Diet Coke in the evening.
seattledude Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 I just discovered something new since I have cut out sugar out of my diet. I made me a Peach Tea and added a little bit of natural Stevia sweeter. The resulting taste when paired with Cigar was OUT OF THIS WORLD to me at least. This sweetener stays on the palate a little longer than natural sugar and with cigar smoke it slightly alters the taste adding sweet tone. Result I thought was amazing!!! I enjoyed it very much!

Any suggestions on how to get started on attempting to make that? On another note, I have been drinking the Melon Pomelo LaCroix recently, and I have to say, it compliments Cubans very well. When I got started I bought a soda stream to make carbonated water. I became quickly irritated with the cost of the co2 bottles so I bought an adapter on the interwebs and started using standard 5 pound tanks. The next thing to go was the soda stream branded bottles. I found an adapter to let me use regular plastic soda bottles with the machine, but I had to buy a 3D printer to make it. So now I have that too. Once the carbonated water was sorted out, I started making the Ginger Beer Syrup at first I used a concentrate flavor I found at a local homebrew store (Picture below) I mix 1/2 bottle with about 25 oz of simple syrup and use about 2 ounces of my syrup to make a liter of soda at a time. If I had it all to do over again, I would have just bought a kegerator on craigslist, and used that to make my carbonated water. If you like a little bit of a spicy kick to your gingerale, a little bit of chili oil will spice your syrup right up. 1
