After the meal

A cigar with Laphroaig Elements L2.0

We have worked out this cigar alongside Oban 14 Years Old Highland Malt, another whisky from Scotland.

Cigars
Our choice

Cohiba Siglo I

The shortest size in the Siglo series, 102 mm, light to medium; creamy and just firm enough alongside the briny character.

Why this works together

The Siglo I is short and moderate in strength, with a creamy, lightly grassy smoke. Salt brings smoke forward, and the brininess of the Oban works as that amplifier here. Because the cigar is finished in half an hour, 43 percent ABV is more than enough.

Also good with this whisky

  • Cohiba Siglo IISlightly longer, same house style; the choice if you have a bit more time.
  • Quai d’Orsay No. 50Short Cuban robusto of moderate strength, with a soft, woody character.
  • Rafael González PerlasOne of the mildest short Cubans; lets the salt in the whisky do the work.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
