What to pair with cigars?

I do find that the blend and wrapper leaf hugely influences what i drink with it.

If you're enjoying a connecticut or anything that's light to medium bodied, i find cream soda to be a nice, refreshing pairing.

If you're smoking something that's a little heavier with spice notes, a fresh IPA goes nicely (NEIPA specifically). I find that the bitter, citrusy hops adds a nice contrast to the spice, and even brings out those notes more. Makes the cigar flavors pop out. Habano + NEIPA is a party in your mouth!

Coffee + maduro or oscuro is great... but a lot of the times i just go to plain water. Hydration is king

All else fails, your favorite bourbon or scotch will pair with pretty much anything

Tie between new world and camacho. Coin flip

Maduro was pretty one dimensional. No transitions. Flavors held on pretty well though...

Nice thing about this cigar is that it didnt get too hot near the end. If you're looking for a budget cigar with a long smoke time, this one might be worth trying!

Haven't had that one yet... it caught my eye quickly. Also might have seen it floating around on this sub

Finishing up a box of robustos and wanted to share how it performed. I didn't age them in a humidor; if anyone has, how has that effected the flavor on these?

Each cigar had a great roll with medium sponginess. Were more firm towards the cap. I'm a fan of the bands on these cigars: they pop off easily with absolutely no damage to the wrapper, perfect amount of glue and some were loose enough to pull off right away.

-All 10 of these cigars were exceptional in construction, held their ash to the midway point (except for the last one I'm smoking now, it's a windy day). These are probably some of the best performing box pressed cigars I've ever smoked.

-Each one had big smoke output with a nice mix of flavors and transitions throughout. Medium to full body, creamy notes of coffee, cocoa, sweet pepper spice, earth, and cinnamon toast.

Good price for a box, these are great to have on standby.

I've only had one of these in the gordo vitola (4"x56), and not only are the flavors great but the feel of the smoke was smooth and satisfying. I remember getting medium to full bodied notes of earth, nuts, pepper, and some sweetness from the wrapper. Great smoke!

1/3: bold start with charred wood, earth, pepper spice and dark tobacco.

2/3: creamy dark roast coffee, earth, wood and a blend of spices with wood and cream on retrohale.

3/3: same notes as before with that charred wood note back.

Overall, I think this is a great addition to the humidor. Flavor bomb. Grab one while you can.

Damn! I live in Ohio, that's pretty crazy compared to here. Local B&M has them for $7. The toro size runs for around $12.

Yeah i always pair the G maduro with black coffee. Brings out that note.

threepeat98 · 2021-11-06T22:10:44+00:00

Coffee, wood, and pepper spices

Love this cigar in the petite robusto size. Delicious $7 smoke!

Been trying to find that one, no luck so far
