Cape May Lager & Oscar Valladares Heaven & Hell Maduro
Oscar Valladares Heaven and Hell Toro Maduro is a heavenly good premium cigar produced by the master blender that created the famed Leaf by Oscar and several other top-rated brands. This dark and delicious stick is composed of an oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper followed by a Mexican binder and aged long-filler tobacco from Honduras. The end result is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke with complex tasting notes of chocolate, leather, earth, and hints of black cherry. This helluva’ good smoke is just begging to be paired with a fine craft beer, so for this Perfect Pairing, we chose the Cape May Lager.
Produced by the Cape May Brewing Company in Southern New Jersey, Cape May Lager boast a bright gold color with a frothy white head that provides the tastes of thick bready malts, honeyed biscuits, and some spicy hops for balance.
The combined flavors of Cape May Lager and the Heaven and Hell Toro Maduro from Oscar Valladares are a wonderfully satisfying way to while away some warm spring evenings with good friends and perhaps some burgers and steaks on the barbie.
Brooklyn Lager & Avo Classic
Avo Classic Maduro #2 has flavors of anise, pepper, espresso, and caramel, all delivered in a smooth medium-bodied fashion. These great flavors come courtesy of a dark and savory Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper paired with the finest aged binder and filler tobacco from the Dominican Republic. Speaking of pairing, this world-famous premium cigar calls for a craft beer of the finest pedigree, so we chose to couple it with the Big Apple’s own Brooklyn Lager.
Boasting flavors of toffee, toast, and caramel with a dry-hopped aroma full of grapefruit, flowers, and pine, Brooklyn Lager couples smashingly well with the Avo Classic Maduro #2, because both flavor profiles complement, rather than one overpowering the other.
Gather friends and family together for a Spring evening of fun and enjoyment, further enhanced while smoking the Avo Classic Maduro #2 cigar and simultaneously sipping a tall frosty mug of the delightfully refreshing Brooklyn Lager.
