TLA Tequila Pairings
What’s better in life than enjoying an amazing tequila & fine cigar?
I mean, I could think of a couple of things, but in the world of relaxation pairings…
Nothing! That’s the answer I’m looking for at this current point in time, hahaha!
Now these articles are going to come in seasons so don’t get mad at me if you don’t see a pairing recommendation when it’s cold here in the Chi!
But, during the non cold months qualify as smoking season for me which comes a ton of pairings for you guys to explore.
In the meantime & in between time though…..
Check out the amazing pairings I’ve put together below and make sure to let me know what you think of each after you’ve experienced them as well.
Cheers TLA Fam!!!
