Much like the tobacco that goes into a cigar, wine goes through its own fermentation process of aging to bring it into a mild, medium or full body character at completion.

Depending on factors like its aging process and its alcohol content, you can decide which cigar to pair with which wine. When you get it right, it’s a match made in heaven. Much like spirits, we encourage you to lean more towards darker red varieties like malbec or cabernet sauvignon, as they typically stand up to the strength of a cigar that may overpower a lighter white varietal like, say, a pino grigio or a sauvignon blanc. Amongst the dessert wines available, it is widely recognized that port pairs very well with a fine cigar.
