Aganorsa Leaf Teams Up With Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag Soda
When it comes to cigar pairings, most people think of spirits or wine but cigars can work equally well with non-alcoholic beverages. Nicaraguan cigarmaker Aganorsa Leaf has teamed up with MoneyBag Soda—the craft soda brand co-founded by KISS bassist Gene Simmons—to co-host a series of events where cigar lovers can try this unorthodox coupling.
“We’re always looking for ways to bring a fresh energy to the premium cigar world,” says Terence Reilly, Aganorsa’s vice president of sales and marketing. “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.”
In addition to hosting live events, the partnership will extend to a social media campaign featuring behind-the-scenes content, pairing tips and giveaways.
The MoneyBag soda product line includes cola, créme, blood orange, ginger ale, root beer and diet cola.
“Teaming up with Aganorsa Leaf brings a new level of sophistication and fun,” says MoneyBag Soda president Paul Janik Jr. “Cigars and soda might not be a traditional combo—but who wants to be traditional?”
The first pairing event is yet to be announced but will be done so via Aganorsa and MoneyBags’ respective websites.
