After the meal

A cigar with Eastmoor American Oak 2019 - Batch 2

We have paired this cigar with Millstone American Oak Zuidam Distillers, another whisky from the Netherlands.

Cigars
Our choice

Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto

Nicaraguan robusto of 127 mm under a light shade wrapper: wood and cream alongside the vanilla from American oak.

Why this works together

American oak gives whisky mainly vanilla and coconut; that is a softer side than what a sherry cask leaves behind. The Connecticut Reserve is a robusto of 127 mm under a light shade wrapper, which gives wood and cream and hardly any pepper. The two run in step. The risk is sameness, which is why it stays at 127 mm and no longer.

Also good with this whisky

  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkMild robusto with the same low-pepper tone, slightly drier on the finish.
  • AVO Classic No. 2Dominican under a Connecticut wrapper, longer and even more restrained.
  • Davidoff Millennium Blend RobustoRobusto of 127 mm with more pepper, as a counterweight to the sweet wood.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
