This is the season for enjoying your favorite smokes. The warm, sunny days by the lakeside or by the pool, and cool evenings at the fire pit make for ideal cigar-smoking enjoyment. We've got the perfect cocktails to pair with this season.
Bourbon Cobbler and M by Macanudo Bourbon
Unlike the Columbian coffee flavors found on the original M By Macanudo offering, M by Macanudo Bourbon Robusto cigars add an exciting new flavorful twist with nuances of bourbon, cherry, and bitters. This makes it the perfect old-fashioned cocktail drink without the glass. However, to add an extra dose of bourbon-flavored goodness, we chose the Bourbon Cobbler cocktail to complete this perfect June pairing.
This bourbon-based crowd-pleasing cocktail is made with other mouthwatering ingredients that include Southern Comfort, peach brandy, fresh lemon juice, sugar, sparkling water, and peach slices.
When paired together, M by Macanudo Bourbon and Bourbon Cobbler is a summer coupling you'll want to savor time and time again with the company of your cigar-smoking family and friends.
Hello, Sun and Rocky Patel Java Mint Robusto
The Hello Sun Cocktail is a rum, vermouth, and pineapple drink perfect for beach days and summer fun on your patio or poolside with good friends. And, to make this popular cocktail pop, we chose to pair it with the Rocky Patel Java Mint Robusto cigar.
Handmade in Nicaragua, the Rocky Patel Java Mint Robusto cigar starts with a stunning Brazilian wrapper in a very dark, oily Maduro shade. Then, the finest aged Nicaraguan long filler wrappers, infused with a quality mix of mint, mocha, and vanilla, provide a smoke that tastes like mint-chocolate chip ice cream or those dark-chocolate-covered mint cookies.
With an ice-cold glass of Hello Sun and Rocky Patel Java Mint Robusto in hand, you'll enjoy a summer-inspired taste sensation that can best be described as rich, uplifting, and delicious!
Rooftop Lemonade and Romeo Reserva Real Nicaragua
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua Robusto cigars are a collaboration between famous master blenders Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez. This highly talented cigarmaking duo fashioned these top-shelf cigars with a Nicaraguan puro blend of hand-selected tobaccos grown on Fernandez's farm in the fertile Estelí region of the country.
Light, refreshing, and crisp, the Rooftop Lemonade Cocktail is made with rum, lemon, mint, and a splash of club soda that pairs wonderfully with this well-made Robusto's rich flavors of wood, cedar, coffee, cinnamon, and sweet spice.
Gather some good friends together at the poolside or deck to enjoy a Rooftop Lemonade paired with a Romeo Reserva Real Nicaragua cigar, and welcome in the warm summer months most satisfyingly!
June Bug and Larutan Dirt Torpedo
June is busting out all over, and it's the perfect time to pair the June Bug cocktail with the undeniably delicious Larutan Dirt Torpedo cigar from Drew Estate.
This seamlessly rolled, stunning-looking 5 x 52 Torpedo combines top-quality Nicaraguan long fillers with rare multi-country tobaccos from Syria, Turkey, Haiti, and St. James Parish, Louisiana. The result is a unique medium-bodied medley of white pepper, applewood, mesquite, cocoa, and cream. We think this mouthwatering concoction pairs splendidly with June Bug’s refreshing flavors of banana, pineapple, and maraschino cherry.
Celebrating the warm summer sunshine with good friends and family calls for nothing less than the unforgettable pairing of the June Bug Cocktail with the Larutan Dirt Torpedo cigar!
French 75 and Undercrown Sungrown
The French 75 is a sparkling cocktail that's perfect before, during, and after your favorite meal, and it's one that calls for the perfect summertime cigar pairing. This cognac, lemon juice, and brown sugar cocktail really comes to life in an easy breezy, revitalizing way when coupled with the top-rated Undercrown Sungrown Gran Toro cigar.
Handmade by Drew Estate in Nicaragua, this artisanal small batch beauty features Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos surrounded by a Cuban-seed Connecticut Habano binder, and a gorgeous Ecuadorian Sumatra Sun Grown wrapper leaf. The result is medium to full-bodied smoke that displays rich notes of peppery spice, leather, cashews, and subtle hints of dried fruit.
A magnificent warm weather taste sensation is waiting for anyone who pairs the French 75 cocktail with the award-winning, sun-drenched Undercrown Sungrown Gran Toro cigar!
