Cigars & Whiskey

Few pairings feel as timeless and satisfying as cigars and whiskey. Both are crafted with patience, aged to perfection, and offer layers of complexity that unfold slowly with every sip and draw. When pairing them, the key is to match the intensity and character of the cigar with the right whiskey — whether it’s a smooth bourbon, a smoky Scotch, or a spicy rye.

For a creamy, mellow cigar like the Montecristo White Series, a soft, caramel-rich bourbon complements its notes of almond, cedar, and cream without overpowering them. The bold and spicy Davidoff Escurio, with its Brazilian flair and dark, earthy undertones, pairs beautifully with a peaty Islay Scotch or a high-proof rye that can match its intensity. Meanwhile, the Undercrown Shade by Drew Estate, with its mellow Connecticut wrapper and hints of cream, toast, and subtle spices, is an excellent companion to a lighter Irish whiskey or a delicate Speyside Scotch.

Experimenting with different combinations opens up an entire world of flavors and sensations — each puff and sip revealing something new. Whether you’re relaxing by the fire, enjoying a night out, or hosting a whiskey and cigar tasting, this pairing invites you to slow down, savor, and celebrate craftsmanship at its finest.
