Top ten non-alcoholic cigar pairings

I've never tried sparkling water with a cigar. Sounds like a great palate cleanser and a way to try and pull out nuances in a cigar. I'll have to get some.

Yeah it's good for that. I drink the infused sparkling water with no sweeteners.

OK....I was just praying it wasn't a grape milkshake... ;)

Anything without carbonation for me. Surprising because 6 of 10 of the suggestions all have carbonation.

I've tried all of those pairings except for ginger ale. My personal favorites are sweet tea in the afternoon/evening and coffee in the morning.

I've got to vote for coffee and rootbeer, but if you have the chance to try either of the below they are terrific pairings with cigars.

They make drinks without alcohol? I never knew that.
