We all want to enjoy ourselves from time to time. We all have different ideas of enjoyment which sometimes include alcohol and/or cigars. Pairing the two can help to maximize the flavor experience of cigars. Some general rules are recommended when pairing cigars and alcohol. It is recommended that full-bodied cigars be paired with hard drinks while light-bodied cigars are best paired with light alcoholic beverages.
As we mentioned above, full-bodied cigars pair well with hard drinks. They pair well with alcohol such as bourbon, cognac, and rum. Dark rum and spicy rum are excellent choices to enjoy with full-bodied cigars. Another liquor that pairs well with cigars is whiskey. Highland single malts are ideal for full-bodied cigars while medium-bodied cigars go well with Irish whiskey.
If you prefer light-bodied cigars, there are plenty of alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy. Drinks such as white wine, Prosecco, pilsners, light ale blends, and tequila all are viable options to pair with a light-bodied cigar.
