As many of you know, the best drinks to pair with cigars are whisky, rum, bourbon and cognac. However, many cigar connoisseurs underestimate one of the most interesting and versatile pairings: cigars and cocktails.

This pairing is quite uncommon, but the advantage is that you can add or remove any ingredient and adapt the drink the way you want. There is a cocktail for every taste.

Very interesting! Though I don’t know about using Macallan 12 for an Old Fashioned...

Hah, yah that sounds off. Nor do I consider it a “really strong cocktail for real men”.

My local lounge uses 4 Roses Small Batch and it's smooth, tasty and sweet. They make it pretty sweet making it great to keep the blood sugar up when smoking a full bodied cigar.
