What goes with my Cuban Cigar

A nice Scotch is an essential kicker required when you are smoking a Cuban cigar. This combination is just as essential as tomato sauce on pasta. If you ever run into real cigar aficionados, you will see that they are always having their Cuban cigars with a glass of scotch quite nicely placed on the side. A popular choice (At least for me) is good old “Glenn” brand of Scotch. I’ve found that it works with literally any Cuban cigar I have.

Now would you make the mistake of just picking any random Cuban cigar with any Scotch that is out there? Absolutely not. Just like all the alcoholic beverages that are out there, Scotch also ranges in taste and appearance. Some come in big bottles some come in little ones. Some come from Europe and believe it or not, their are some that actually come from Asia. Countries like Japan and South Korea have their own versions of Scotch but I prefer Scottish ones.

Some people prefer a single malt with a cigar, while others will swear that a cognac is superior. In the end, the accompaniment should be determined only by what appeals to you. Single-malt Scotch with a cigar: the tow make a good marriage of old, traditionally made natural products derived from the bounty of the earth’s specific micro-climates. Single malts are produced throughout Scotland, from the lowlands to the upper islands in the north, but the four principal single malt regions are Isley, Skye, the Lowlands, and the Highlands.

Each single malt reflects the distinct characteristics of the region in which it is made. The peaty character and hints of caramel pronounced in some single malts go well with the earthiness and nuttiness of cigars. Rich-tasting cigars seem to go well with single malts, which share a strong earthy character in varying degrees of intensity. Aged single malts can be more caramel’ in taste and less overtly alcoholic, and a bit more elegant than their younger counterparts.
