CIGARS FOR PAIRING
Vegas Robaina Famosos: the cigar and the spirit marry to perfection, seeing how similar the aromatic palates are. The flavors exalt and the binomial gives place to a simple and satisfying pairing. In detail, the balsamic notes melt together, refreshing the palate continuously. 
Villa Zamorano Expreso: the Oban meets this petit robusto, filling and completing the aromatic palate of the small Expreso. The sweetness of the Oban softens the bitter vein of the cigar, creating a nice contrast. The result is a satisfying and satiating marriage, that can be enjoyed also in short pieces of time, seen the length of the cigar is only 90mm.
