Cigar Soda?! Is This A New Must Have for Aficionados?

Aficionados turn to blends that offer the most balanced and complex flavor profiles. Those are the cigars that create the types of experiences that people in the cigar community are looking for. And for those who want to pursue an even more complex experience, pairing quickly becomes a passionate pursuit. Cigar lovers often talk about their pairing of cigars and spirits. There are a lot of cigars out there, and an even wider variety of bourbons, whiskeys, rums, gins, and other distilled beverages. But what if you don't drink alcohol? The question that circulates around the cigar world often these days is, "what are the best non-alcoholic drinks for pairing"?

I've done videos on this before, but today I was introduced to a whole new world of cigar pairing beverages that were crafted specifically for this purpose. Abbina Soda was made just for the aficionado. These sodas are all crafted with the intent of offering a wide variety of interesting flavors that will complement a variety of blends without overpowering them. Now it's time to put each Abbina Soda to the test and see just how well these go with one of my personal favorite medium bodied blends - Jeremey Sier's Hold Fast (by Privada Cigars)
