Try a Kentucky mule for a change of pace if you aren't adverse to bourbon that is. An excellent cocktail, but better in warmer months I think.
What is your favorite drink pairing with a good smoke?

Diet Goslings Ginger Beer gets purchased by the case in this house. Even good on it’s own paired with a stick or bowl.
Just had a Diet Dr. Pepper the other night with my evening smoke. Very good. The Diet Coke was still chilling, but the Dr. Pepper was ready to go.
Most evenings, it’s a Diet Coke. And most mornings, it’s a cup of hot coffee with a bowl of PA. Breakfast of Champions.
And occasionally, it’s something from the bar. With pipes, it’s a Canadian or Scotch. Cigars are more of a summer sport here, so that is typically a G&T, perhaps the occasional Bloody Mary, or an ice cold lawnmower beer.

Water or iced tea for me. Don't drink anymore and alcohol with smoking ups the risk substantially. Don't drink soda anymore either - the price to pay later in life is not worth it.
I’ve found a little carbonation after dinner a good thing for the digestion. Once they discontinued the good Brioschi formula, I moved to an evening diet soda with the pipe. Works better than ever.
Old men sharing digestive tips on the Internet. Hard to believe.
I gave up smoking over 25 years ago. My roommate died last year from esophageal cancer due to cigar smoking.
So.... my beverage is an occasional single malt, or a martini 4:1. Both are very occasionally though.

Recently, I discovered that I love GlenDronach 12 with a spicy cigar. The bottle didn't appeal to me at first, but I ended up really liking it. I normally prefer bourbon with a cigar, but the smooth creamy sweetness of the GlenDronach complimented the smoke and spice of the cigars I had with it.
I'm trying not to buy any more cigars since I have more than a lifetime of pipe tobacco cellared. So, the next time I crack a bottle of it, I'll have to try pairing it with something like ODF or Escudo.

If it’s falls an old fashioned Guinness. Winter or early spring it’s a bourbon. Not always though. Most of the time it’s a water or iced tea.
In an effort to be healthier (thanks, Mrs. Rookie!), my old standbys of ginger ale and lemon lime have been replaced with ice water. And I've come to appreciate ice water with a slice of lemon while enjoying a good vaper.
And I've only recently been having a pipe with my coffee first thing instead of a cigarette. It was a revelation! Like the first time using a DE from carts.

Mods can go ahead and shut this link down.
Etch this list in stone. So it is written............
It's missing the whiskey, whisky, red wine, ipa, stouts, brown ales, Belgian ales...
I’m more than ok with adding a stout to #4, especially an espresso or chocolate stout
I think I heard that in a Cecil B. DeMille movie once.
Yes that’s a great addition to the list for sure.I’m more than ok with adding a stout to #4, especially an espresso or chocolate stout
All the bad stuff. Coffee, Irish coffee, Bourbon, Scotch, beer, rarely wine and occasionally full sugar soft drink, but not too often the latter. Barq's root beer or Vernor's ginger ale.
Full sugar ginger ale is great with a pipe.
I like sugar too. You might try Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale with a squeeze of lime. Works for me. Sugar is always better if you can take the calories.
