Nice Pair
The pairs that we think work best together. Both the drink and the cigar improve with these combinations.
Pairing Dalwhinnie 15 + CAO Amazon Basin
Ask 10 people what they like to drink with a cigar and 8 will answer "scotch." Okay, that's not a real statistic. But I'm sure it's close. This has to be one…
Laphroaig and Cigars: 18 Year + San Cristobal de la Habana
Pairing Laphroaig and cigars is just something that needs to be in life. It's like a notable milestone. I've had this unopened Laphroaig 18 year old scotch waiting on my shelf for…
Armagnac and Cigars: Chateau de Laubade + Espinosa Blue
I picked this drink because I love to pair Armagnac and cigars but had previously only enjoyed more common ones. I really wanted to try one special so when I found that…
Pairing Highland Park 18 scotch + Padilla Vintage Reserva Cigar

Pairing Ezra Zion Tantrum + Vallein Tercinier Vieille Reserve XO Cognac
I fell in love with the Tantrum the first time I tasted it. It's strength and bold flavours meant I needed a drink that could carry that weight. Being a limited production…
Mount Gay Rum 1703 + Paul Stulac Lord of Albany
It's no surprise that we enjoy all of the Paul Stulac cigars that we've been able to try so far, so this one was one I was very excited about. As for…
Pairing Dom Pérignon 2003 + Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champaign
This pair came together quite slowly actually. It started with the cigar when we visited Perdomo with our pair group back in March. We all ended up buying both the Champaign 10th…
Taylor Fladgate 30 year + Paul Stulac Red Screaming Sun
Ever since our trip down to Miami and visiting Paul Stulac, I have been very excited to finally pair this stick. We are all very big fans of this cigar and all…
Pairing Bowen XO Cognac + Perdomo Edicion De Silvio
We picked up the Silvio recently on our visit to Perdomo in Miami . I really loved the story behind the cigar - the perseverance, the passion and the respect that this…
