A three finger pour of cult whiskey in my glass and a Perdomo Habano (Connecticut) perfectly harmonizing... P-Daddy you just keep harmonizing, my man! I enjoyed a couple of those Perdomo Habano Conns over the weekend. New to my local shop. Felt a little soft, but burn, draw , and everything else really worked. Gave one to my hard to please brother, and he really liked it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, these have really become a easy go to for me. Economical, full flavored and always a good draw/burn. I'm working on a Perdomo Vintage 12 with a good pour right now, 'cause a mans gotta prepare himself when there's some grillen' to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt350 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Tonight I'm finishing up the last of a Camacho sampler I bought from Harrisburg Beer & Cigar. It had the following: 1- Connecticut Robusto 2- Connecticut Toro 2- Criollo Toro 1- Ecuador Torpedo 1- Corojo Robusto 1- Corojo Toro 1- Corojo Maduro Toro 1- Triple Maduro Robusto I usually prefer bold and spicy cigars, but it was the two milder offerings-- the Connecticut and the Criollo-- that have impressed me the most, in terms of flavor and complexity. The Connecticuts balanced creamy notes with spicy notes very admirably, while the Criollo provided a Medium body that had a spicy character with a Citron-like zestiness in the finish that I wasn't expecting. Tonight I am smoking the last two-- the Corojo Robusto and Triple Maduro Robusto. I typically pair sweeter spirits with spicier Criollo/Habano/Corojo cigars (think Zaya Rum, for example) and spicier spirits with sweeter Maduro cigars (Wigle Rye, for example). So, I pulled out a Bourbon I figured would be a nice "middle ground"-- Old Forester 1870. I'm not sure what the mash bill on that one looks like, but it tastes like a "low rye" mash-- just enough spiciness to keep things interesting, but combined with a sweet, slightly-buttery foundation. So far, both a good smoke and a good drink. I might switch to a smaller pour of Henry McKenna Single Barrel (now FINALLY available in PA) in the middle of the Triple Maduro, but I haven't decided yet.

GTD Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hey guys. I'm slightly new to the cigar board but not to bourbon nor cigars. I really like just about all the Rocky Patel stuff 1990,92, 2000 and sun grown Maduros. I also like Drew Estates Undercrowns and others but am struggling to match good bourbons with these. Any suggestions for the above or even other sticks to pair with bourbons? I usually don't spend more than $60 on a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clingman71 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 So far this spring/summer, I've been smoking a wide variety of cigars - tatuaje, Fuente, Padron, Avo, Roma Craft, Sobremesa, etc. Much like whiskey, very mood dependent when selecting a smoke, especially when pairing with a pour.
