Wine o'clock Geneva #86

Geneva online The auction week | Spirits

Cigars & spirits: performing art ! The pairing of fine cigar with the perfect spirit is a living art. Each tobacco leaf and each distilled libation holds a complex symphony of flavors. Bringing them together is a transcendent experience.
The mighty Cuban. The rich, earthy notes of a Cohiba demand the smooth, oaky embrace of a fine Scotch. The peat and smoke of an Islay single malt marry the nuanced flavors of a Partagás, while the vanilla and caramel of a Speyside dram complement the sweetness of a Romeo y Julieta. How about Yamazaki 12 years or Karuizawa MV?
Look to the Caribbean, where the bold, complex rums find their perfect partners in the bold, spicy vitolas of the Dominican or Nicaragua. The caramelized sugar and tropical fruit notes of a fine rum positively sing when paired with the peppery punch of Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo.
Brandy, a classic British favorite. The warm, oaky embrace of a Cognac or Armagnac provides a sumptuous counterpoint to the rich, earthy notes of a Nicaraguan puro, while the dried fruit and floral aromatics of an aged Calvados and Apricot liqueur complement the nuanced flavors of a Maduro.
The bold and assertive flavors of tequila like Clase Azul can hold their own against the most robust cigars. The herbaceous, smoky notes of a fine mezcal pair beautifully with the bold, spicy character of a Nicaraguan puro, while the citrus and pepper of a premium tequila find their perfect match in the sweet, creamy undertones of a Dominican or Honduran leaf. Montecristo?
Time to explore your own art of the pairing - a harmonious dance of flavors that transports you to a realm of pure pleasure.

So good luck with your bids!
