After the meal

A cigar with Bushmills Black Bush

We developed this cigar alongside Bushmills 10 Years Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey, another whisky from Ireland.

Cigars
Our choice

Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Chateau Fuente

Dominicaanse robusto van 114 mm, kort en romig, naast een zachte Ierse single malt.

Why this works together

The Chateau Fuente is short at 114 mm but wide in ring gauge. That proportion gives a full smoke in a short time, without it becoming sharp. Beneath the mild Fuente wrapper the tone stays woody and creamy. Next to an Irish malt at 40% ABV, which itself already finishes creamy, the whisky can be followed to the end this way.

Also good with this whisky

  • Arturo Fuente Hemingway SignaturePerfecto van 152 mm die aan beide kanten toeloopt, met een geleidelijker verloop.
  • AVO Classic No. 2Dominicaans onder een Connecticut-wikkel, peperarm en notig, dicht bij de honing in de whisky.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkMilde robusto met hout en room, als de rook iets voller mag zijn.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
