In cigar/drink pairing, the key is balance.
No lingering finish that overpowers.
No excess tannins that dry the palate.
Examples:
Armagnac is earthier, less sweet than Cognac — it leaves room for the cigar.
25 year aged spirit from 700 year old vineyards alongside 6 year aged,volcanic-soil cigar.
‘A slow dance in a candlelit room’
Single malts bring smoke and structure. Bourbons can drown out a cigar.
Farm-to-sip single malt from East Anglian barley (among the best) paired with ultra-mild, creamy cigar grown in sandy loam.
‘Saffron Glow’

‘The Ultimate Legacy Pairing’
Award winning Colorado High Mountain Rum pairs with blend of mellow, sandy loam soil wrapper and earthier volcanic soil filler and binder.
‘Light & Breezy’
Wild-harvested Texas cactus spirits are raw and earthy — better cigar companions than sweeter tequilas.
A spirit from sixth-generation Texans alongside a cigar brand born in 1844.
‘Taste of Texas, Puff of History'
Farm to flask, double gold winning soft Wyoming rye pairs with classic Olancho Sun Grown cigar.
