Drink pairing = Artificial flavor?

[issues]

I always try a cigar dry or with water before pairing it.

If a cigar has a nice coffee flavor, I will pair it with something like kahlua and milk (can't do coffee) and cigars with a strong cocoa flavor I pair with something like a Dr. Pepper and so on and so forth.

Dr. Pepper seems to go well with a lot of different cigar flavors IMO.
