All that on the table, it makes sense that a big cigar maker like Aganorsa would want to join forces with a beverage maker. But I’ll be honest, I did not expect that to happen between Aganorsa and MoneyBag soda — a Gene Simmons soda line. While there have been some strong proponents of this partnership, and very vocal, too, it’s still one of the zaniest things to happen in a while.

What is MoneyBag Soda and why is Aganorsa pairing up?

Gene Simmons of legendary KISS fame launched MoneyBag Soda as a craft brand. Purporting to only use the most elite of ingredients, you’ll find several mentions of “soda royalty” plastered all over the site. I don’t know about royalty, I’m just a crazy, cigar-loving Florida Man myself, but Leif Lunatic sure loves the stuff. Not to mention, the flavors sound delicious. Cola, diet cola, root beer, cream soda, ginger ale, blood orange, and options to mix and match, and they’re all made with natural cane sugar.

But as for those pairings, Aganorsa has thrown a few suggestions together. The Aniversario series seems to match up well with the branding and flavors of the colas and the creme variety. Root Beer is always really good to pair with a cigar, in general, so the MoneyBag Soda Root Beer should be divine.

This news has already been called out in a few places, including Cigar Aficionado and PCA. For those about to rock, oh, wait, that’s AC/DC. That was a joke, don’t come after me, I know the difference.

Delicious cigars and delicious sodas, yes. It makes sense, but also, I still can’t stop shaking my head at how fucking insane this partnership is. I’m curious if the MoneyBag crew is going to come up with a unique soda just for Aganorsa or, if, alternatively, Aganorsa is going to come up with a unique cigar blend for MoneyBag.

Terence Reilly, VP of Sales and Marketing at Aganorsa, says, “We’re always looking for ways to bring a fresh energy to the premium cigar world.”

“MoneyBag Soda has a bold, authentic character that pairs perfectly with the complexity of Aganorsa cigars. This partnership is about enjoyment, flavor, and creating memorable moments for our customers.”

Aganorsa and MoneyBag Soda will be hosting exclusive pairing events with more information on locations forthcoming.

Either way, we’re the real winners here because it’s going to result in something awesome. I can feel it in my loins.
