I have a history of drinking too much---but it is a history I also like to keep up every Friday night---so I stick with booze....lol. J/K, at least halfway. But when I smoke during the week or not at night when I may be out tipping a few back, I agree with a few posts here that a good soda is the way to go. Odd, I have always been a pepsi man (and still am) but when smoking a cigar I prefer a Coke----anywhay thats my 2 cents.
Thanks for all of your prompt responses. I think I'll try the Earl Grey for the Montecristo. I'd like more suggestions for the CAO though. I expect to smoke another cigar or two this month to work up to the CAO American on the Fourth so I hope to be fine with the strength.

The CAO America isn't full bodied its a pretty straight forward medium body. There is a common misconception that darker cigars are fuller in body. The truth is that most maduros are medium to medium-full, there are some exceptions to this but thats the general rule.
I normally stick to water when I smoke so I can get all of the flavors out of the cigar. I know you don't want anything alcoholic but a good smoky whiskey like Knob Creek or Bookers goes absolutely great with a cigar. Just a small glass to sip on to help bring out the flavors is all it takes.
I posted this in the other thread, but I recently had a CAO America and was extremely let down. It is horribly bland and just very leafy. No flavor changes or even noticeable flavors! I hope I just got a dud because I was really looking forward to that cigar.....
I like to drink coffee in the moring with a cigar. Afternoons I may pair it with a cold glass of tea. Evenings I may just drink water if I don't feel like drinking any alcohol.
As a general rule I'll have coffee with a morning smoke or everyday sippin' sour mash bourbon with an evening smoke. I gotta tell ya, though, last night we were at our son and daughterinlaw's house for dinner and we broke out a bottle of Pyrat (pronounced like pirate) Rum that I gave him for Christmas, poured a little in a glass, neat, and squeezed a wedge of lime into in and WOW!. That was orgasmic!! Gonna gets me more of that juice!
I will smoke with a Dr. Pepper or some knock off variety, a bourbon mixer sometimes, or water. If I drink beer, I tend to stick with a wheat beer, Coors Light, or if I am feeling really fancy a Coors Original...you know its the Banquet of beers right?

if its a smoke im having for the frst time, i usualy stick with water. Coffee is great for morning smokes. My favorite though is jameson and Ginger Ale and i really like how that pairs with what i smoke.
