Excellent article Lindsay! It’s pretty obvious you know your stuff! Rum is one of my very favorite forms of alcohol and I have found the following rums pair very well with many different cigars, especially maduro & habano wrappers: Mt. Gay Extra Old, Zaya 12 yr, Ron Zacapa 23 yr & Barbancourt 15 yr. Also I really like the Rhums Agricole from Martinique that are enjoying more exposure these days. These rhums are made only from fresh squeezed sugar cane juice. My favorites here are Neisson Rhum Agricole Reserve Especiale & La Favorite Rhum Agricole Vieux. These rhums tend to have a bit more “kick” IMHO.

I have to admit I tend to go “the darker the rum the darker the wrapper”. Simplistic, but it works for my palate.

As a big bourbon drinker as well, I’d really like to hear your thoughts on pairing bourbons and cigars. Like to know if we have some of the same favorites.

Thanks again and I’m looking forward to hearing more!

I hope you get to different coffee beans and cigars. That would be interesting. Nice article.

I agree for the most part with giving balance and smoking something that would add to the drink, but I always thought of what can a drink add to my cigar, so this perspective is kind of new to me.

Thanks, can’t wait for more!

Nice article Lindsay…

I like smoking a Camacho Triple Maduro 6×60 with a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout or a Rogue Chocolate Stout.

I also recommend Vizcaya VXOP rum paired with a Camacho Connecticut Figurado.

Or a Don Pepin Cuban Classic Toro with Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 yr. rum, pretty much any great cigar pairs with this liquid perfection.

And a great after dinner classic for me is a Left Hand Milk Stout with a Padilla Miami Robusto.
