Kauai Cigar Company Island Prince - Shade Grown

This is the fifth of a series of Kauai Cigar Company cigars I received as a gift.

The size is called a Momona (5.75 x 50).

I tried something different with this cigar from the other Kauai cigars; I paired it with a rye whiskey as opposed to a coffee.

I expected a similar lighter profile like the other Kauai cigars and wanted to see if a different beverage would alter or change my perspective.

It didn’t. The cigar was what I expected and, although I think coffee is a better pairing, the whiskey didn’t hurt or help the flavor.

I usually pair the rye whiskey with fuller flavor cigars but:

a) I wanted to drink that particular rye that night

b) I wanted to smoke that particular cigar that night

The lighter earthy, tobacco flavoring was a nice partner for the evening. Me, whiskey and tobacco…it was enjoyable.

I think the Island Prince line is Kauai Cigar’s flagship brand so I am curious what the Sun-Grown version holds in store for me.
