Pairing a premium cigar with a high-end wine is an experience that speaks of sophistication and refinement. These two indulgences, when carefully selected, complement each other beautifully, enhancing flavors and providing a luxurious moment of relaxation. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer to the world of cigars and fine wines, understanding their nuances will elevate your appreciation and selection process.
A premium cigar is handcrafted from the finest tobacco leaves, often aged for several years to develop complex flavors. Unlike machine-made cigars, premium options do not contain additives or artificial flavoring.
Cigars come in different shapes and sizes, impacting the smoking experience:
Proper storage is crucial to maintain quality. A humidor keeps cigars at an optimal humidity (65-72%) and temperature (65-70°F), ensuring flavors remain intact.
At our cigar shop in Florida, we take great care to store our cigars in the best possible conditions.
Florida’s naturally high humidity levels often range between 60-80%, which is already within the ideal range for cigar preservation. Because of this, we do not use additional humidification in our store, as excess moisture can lead to over-humidified cigars, which may burn unevenly or develop mold. However, we always recommend storing cigars in a properly maintained humidor at home, as air conditioning and environmental changes can impact their condition.
A wine’s quality depends on its terroir—the unique combination of soil, climate, and vineyard location that influences flavor and character.
When stored properly, they can last decades without losing flavor.
A smooth Merlot or Chardonnay is a great start.
Keep it in a wine cellar or temperature-controlled fridge.
