Pairing a cigar not only works with alcoholic drinks. One of the best and most traditional cigar/drink pairing is coffee. Coffee and tobacco, both important crops in the Caribbean basin, share some of the same adjectives to describe them, such as bitter, sweet, rich and bold qualities. Whether it’s black, with milk, with sugar or flavorings, it can enhance your smoke. Other less conventional non-alcoholic good pairing choices for cigars include a comforting cup of hot chocolate, hot cider or a root beer.
