After the meal

A cigar with Writers' Tears Single Pot Still Whiskey

We have worked out this cigar alongside Teeling 15 Years Old Single Grain, another whisky from Ireland.

Cigars
Our choice

Davidoff Aniversario No. 3

Dominican toro of 152 mm, wood and cream without sharp pepper, alongside the wine cask finish.

Why this works together

A toro of 152 mm is long and moderately thick; the smoke therefore stays even for a long time and only becomes fuller at the end. Davidoff works with a light wrapper that gives wood and cream instead of pepper. Grain whiskey is naturally softer and sweeter than malt, and the white wine casks lay a fresh, dry layer over it. A peppery cigar would push that difference away; this one leaves it intact.

Also good with this whisky

  • Davidoff Millennium Blend RobustoRobusto of 127 mm from the same house, shorter and with more body.
  • AVO Syncro Nicaragua RobustoRobusto with Nicaraguan tobacco in the filler, more peppery and sturdier.
  • Macanudo Café Hyde ParkMild robusto with wood and cream, for those who want to keep the whiskey even more to the fore.

We do not sell cigars; we supply the whisky.
