I just took a little break from work - if you can call this work - to enjoy a short smoke. As it is pretty hot and sticky here in Joisey today, I grabbed a Boylan Creme Soda out of the cooler to have with my Partagas Purito. Tons of flavorful smoke from this Marlboro-sized tinned beauty, a 4.25X32 EMS, with just enough pepper to make it interesting. And you may not believe how good it went with that ice-cold creme soda! The soda was not too heavy as to overpower the cigar, just as the cigar was not to strong to burn out the soda. I was shocked, and most pleasantly so.
Hey, don't knock it 'til you tried it, brothers.

Jones Cream Soda is my favorite by far and yeah it goes great with a cigar. IBC isn't a bad second place.

Up in Wisconsin we have had Creme Sode and Orange Soda (the one that tastes like a Dreamsicle) with cigars, and it complements the cigars nicely.

Cream Soda, Rootbeer and Dr. Pepper have all worked well for me in the past

I love it too. If you guys are lucky enought to live by a place that sells micro brewed soda check it out, its whole another world.

For a regionally-appropriate, roller-approved variation, try champagne cola.
Meanwhile, I will second the IBC recommendation. The lighter carbonation on display makes it extra quaffable with a burning stick.
