Rock & Smoke: Aganorsa Leaf Joins Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag Soda for Epic Cigar + Soda Pairings

A cigar nerd’s heart just skipped a beat when I peered over this announcement: Aganorsa Leaf is teaming with Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag™ Soda to drop a cigar + soda pairing campaign that’s equal parts rock & roll and leaf love.

This is the kind of mashup we didn’t know we needed — robust Nicaraguan cigars meeting bold, nostalgic soda flavors. Let’s dig in.

What’s the Deal?

• Aganorsa Leaf and MoneyBag Soda are launching a series of pairing events across the U.S. where fans can sample curated combos of Aganorsa cigars and MoneyBag’s soda lineup.
• The press release leans into the idea that cigars + soda isn’t traditional — but that’s exactly the point. They want to shake up the pairing game.
• Behind the scenes, there will be digital content: pairing tip videos, giveaways, and social media storytelling.
• No confirmed dates yet — the first event locations will be revealed via Aganorsa Leaf’s and MoneyBag Soda’s channels.

What Is MoneyBag Soda?

If you didn’t already know: MoneyBag is the craft soda label co-founded by KISS bass legend Gene Simmons. Their soda catalog includes flavors like:

• Cola
• Diet Cola
• Cream
• Root Beer
• Ginger Ale
• Blood Orange

The brand leans into bold, characterful flavors — nostalgic vibes but with intention.

MoneyBag Soda’s pitch is fun, authentic, a little rebellious. And that energy seems like a good match for Aganorsa’s philosophy.

Whether you’re a die-hard KISS fan, a craft soda junkie, or a Nicaraguan leaf devotee, this partnership is the kind of crossover that makes the cigar world so much fun. Aganorsa Leaf’s powerhouse blends paired with the bold fizz of Gene Simmons’ MoneyBag Soda promise an experience that’s equal parts flavor bomb and backstage party. Keep your eyes peeled for event dates, grab a few sticks, and get ready to pop a top—because when rock and smoke collide like this, you don’t just watch the show, you taste it.
