It sets the smoker of apart from others. It has a welcome aroma, unlike cigarettes. When it is an excellent brand of cigar, there is nothing in the world better than taking your time and enjoying every moment of it.
Historically, the pairing of wine and cigars began in the late 1800s in the United States. Refugees from Cuba were finding respite there following their nation’s horrible two civil wars. They found work in the U.S. as the makers of high quality cigars. Those who did not have that ability were highly skilled at the winemaking process. With these two quality products coming from the new citizens, the art of matching the perfect wine with the perfect matching cigar was born.
The best thing about this elegant pairing is that the art is still evolving. There are experts around the globe who continue to experiment with different cigar and wine combinations. Just when one thinks that nothing new can be discovered, some amazing and never before seen pairing is introduced.
