Episode Details

One company that was not a cigar company we visited at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was Abbina Craft Sipping Soda. Abbina (Italian for “to match” or “to combine”) Craft Sipping Soda was created by Charlie Albanetti, who sought a more interesting non-alcoholic beverage pairing for cigars than other commercially available sodas. The company emphasizes that Abbina’s unique flavors, including earthy notes reminiscent of beet and leathery undertones infused with saffron and patchouli, are intended to both create new flavor combinations with those typically found in cigars and to highlight otherwise undetectable flavors in cigars. Abbina sodas are crafted in small batches with complex flavors, specifically designed for slow sipping.
