They smoked the leaves for this cigar, and it results in excellent notes of charred oak, scotch-like peatiness, and heavily toasted coffee. This cigar pairs best with a good scotch or whiskey, my favorite is the Johnie Walker Black Ruby with this specific cigar. The two blend great.

They smoked the leaves for this cigar, and it results in excellent notes of charred oak, scotch-like peatiness, and heavily toasted coffee. This cigar pairs best with a good scotch or whiskey, my favorite is the Johnie Walker Black Ruby with this specific cigar. The two blend great. A good alternative is the Johnie Walker XR 21. I would not use a very heavily peated scotch as it can over power the cigar taste.
