Ok ... not everyone goes straight to a soda when they think of a good pairing with their favorite smoke. My old man worked for Pepsi for many years when I was a kid. He extolled the virtue of “pure product”. He would explain why a soda in a glass bottle would always taste better than those that come in a tin can or plastic bottle. As he explained it, tin and plastic containers have a “food grade” polymer applied to the inside of the container ... which ends up altering the flavor of the product. Glass bottles, are simply heat (steam) sterilized and nothing but the original product is put in ... so you’re getting the recipe for the drink as it was originally intended. Then with the “Mexican” Coke (or Pepsi) they are sweetened with pure cane sugar, as originally intended, so you’re getting the best version of that drink you can currently get.

When you pair that with a good, smooth smoke? It finishes really nice ... especially if you lean towards the sweeter, smoother side of things.

Try it and let me know what you think ... but at the end of the day, drink and smoke what YOU like and enjoy!?
