Anything else good for the under-21 smoker?

I'd have to say my favorite non-alcoholics are iced light-roast coffee when it's warm out or a good quality hot tea when it's cold. I go with top-shelf pre-made bags, my favorites being YogiTea's "Bedtime" or "Lime Mint" for a nice relaxing late-night smoke. If your local mega-mart has an organic foods section, look there.

Other favorites for me are soda water on ice, beer (especially IPAs and stouts) and scotch (namely Lagavulin or Laphroaig) when I can actually afford it and feel like splurging.

I still prefer a good iced tea to most liquors that I've tried with a cigar. I love tequila, and I've got some Don Julio Anejo, but It's too fruity (at least for my taste) to accompany a cigar well. Root beer is also very good with cigars imo.
 
Coke, Dr. Pepper, or Barq's usually, but sometimes I'll spring for a nice brown spirit. Dr. Comforts, Jack and Cokes, and Kahlua and coffee are favorites as well. I'm not a fan of beer with a cigar.
 
Big cup of coffee with a couple of shots of Baileys and a RP Vintage 92 on a cold December night. Highly recommended! :tu
 
Here is a fine, easy to mix beverage that goes great with a cigar:

Just mix equal parts Cognac and Grand Marnier and serve in a short glass. Good with ice in the summer, but I like it room temp in the colder months.

Enjoy!
 
I've been experimenting with various cigar/beverage combinations ever since I tried to combine a strong maduro cigar with some good cabernet sauvignon and both wound up tasting like crap. I've settled on a few combos that I enjoy:

1) CAO Criollo (or similar) + Pabst Blue Ribbon (or similar). I like to combine a medium-bodied, complex smoke with a simple beer that doesn't really contribute to the conversation, but just serves to refresh.

2) Mildest cigar in my humidor + good red wine. Just an incredibly relaxing combo, though the cigar does end up tasting like the wine. Not necessarily a bad thing.

3) Strong cigar + scotch or bourbon on the rocks. Typical Friday-night-after-a-tough-week combo for me.
 
I guess it depends on the cigar and situation but I like a nice 18 year Macallan with medium to fuller bodied smokes and Beer or coffee with mild to medium bodied ones.
 
Coffee
Rootbeer
Tea
Beer
Mixed drinks

Mornings are made for coffee and cigars and I like to relax in the evening with a cigar and a rootbeer the most.:ss
 
Right now I'm enjoying a Bloody Mary seasoned with some Slap Ya Mama with my Punch Elite. I drink just about any liquid refreshment starting with bottled water.
