Cigar and Champagne pairing

[ACMCC]

It's not normally my cup of tea either, but it is nice sometimes as an aperitif, I prefer a good Mojito... but if the girls want it, I don't mind some

"a Pol Roger vintage rose with an aged ERDM Demi-Tasse is a nice pairing I've done a few times and would recommend...."

This could appear in the dictionary as a definition of class. Fantastic. Tell me it was the '92 ERDM...

Any dry cigar with dry white wine is a winning combination. And Chardonnay based wines are, for me, the best for it. Try Diplomaticos with lighter Burgundies, or Montes for something more heavily oaked.

When I was in Champagne last year I found PL Montecarlos to go particularly well with the local brew, closely followed by Quai D'Orsays. JL Obuses for when the Marc was out later.

Could you give a few more examples of dry cigars cesara? I'm not quite sure I know what you mean?

I wound up having a Juan Lopez no.1 with Guy Charlemane blanc de blancs NV and it was pretty nice.A pleasure to the senses.

Bit of a confusing word, apologies. I meant dry tasting, in the same way you would use for wine, rather than dry physically.

Personally I would consider Sant Luis Reys, Bolivar Belicosos, Cuabas, Vegueros, Partagas SP2, Monte Edmundos, ERDM Grandes de Espana & Demi-Tasse (off the top of my head) as usually quite dry-tasting.

At the other end of the scale Juan Lopez, Cohibas, Bolivar RCs, Hoyo PRs & Epi2s, I usually find to be richer and sweeter. I would usually put them with a ballsier, less subtle, drink; whiskey, brandy or dark beers.

These are generalisations of course, what with the huge box-to-box variations.
