After the meal

A cigar with Nantou Omar Sherry Cask

Judging by its name, this whisky has spent time in a sherry or wine cask. We have paired this cigar with Tamdhu 12 Years Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has done the same.

Cigars
Our choice

Quai d’Orsay No. 54

Cuban robusto extra of 135 mm, cedar and wood, restrained enough not to crowd out the sherry sweetness.

Why this works together

The No. 54 is short and thick at 135 mm. Quai d’Orsay is the restrained one among the Cuban houses: cedar and flowers instead of earth and pepper. That restrained tone does not clash with the sherry oak of Tamdhu, but does put a dry layer of wood alongside it, so that the sweetness does not linger.

Also good with this whisky

  • Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1Corona gorda of 143 mm, milder and longer, with the same soft woody tone.
  • Montecristo Petit EdmundoPetit robusto van 110 mm, dik maar kort, met cacao tegenover het gedroogde fruit.
  • Rocky Patel Vintage 1992Ecuadoraanse Sumatra-wikkel, droger en notiger, als tegenwicht tegen het vat.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
