Second bottle, first cigar, first official tequila/cigar pairing at the fire pit!
It’s chilly out, but I feel nice and toasty by the fire!
Tonight I have Cava Antigua añejo in my glass, puffing on a @miamicigar Don Lino Africa while kicking back to a mixture of Nirvana- Come As You Are, @skynyrd– Free Bird @richforever– Cigar music tracks as the sun sets.
Couldn’t ask for anything more or expect anything less.
This smoke is a nice bold strong tobacco forward stick with a nice pepper that highly complements this pour.
The Cava is extremely fresh agave forward with a nice vanilla to it as well.
Getting 0 bite, but that could be the spice from the stick that masking it in an amazing way. Either way, I love it.
If it was a little bit warmer, I’d be out here the rest of the night!
The bottle goes for about $60 and the stick I picked up from Tobacco Plus Cigar Lounge in Mattesson,IL for about $14 (if memory serves me right).
Either way, great combo at a great price for a relaxing Thursday evening!
Check out the photos below to see exactly what the bottle and cigar looks like.
That way you know what you’re looking for on your next trip to the liquor store and cigar shop to try this pairing for yourself.
