Pimm's Cup and Cohiba Connecticut
The Pimm's Cup is both a liqueur and a mixed drink. It is a delightful and tasty beverage that pairs the namesake liqueur with lemonade, to offer a refreshing warmer weather libation. The Cohiba Connecticut Toro cigar uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, in a silky golden-brown shade, that embraces aged Brazilian, and Dominican long leaf fillers. This Connecticut-style beauty from Cohiba displays an alluring smoky vanilla aroma, and creamy smooth flavors of toast, cashew, cream, and cocoa. A tall ice-cold glass of Pimm's Cup and a Cohiba Connecticut in hand provide a coupling you'll want to share with close or family friends to create fond memories in a most relaxing and satisfying way.
South Side and Rocky Patel Java Mint
South Side is a tasty cocktail that features Gin, lime juice, syrup, and a mint sprig in a tall glass of ice, that just begs for the perfect warmer weather cigar pairing.Featuring a Brazilian wrapper over aged Nicaraguan binder and fillers, laced with premium coffee, the Rocky Patel Java Mint Petite Corona cigar is like smoking mint chocolate chip ice cream, or those dark-chocolate-covered mint cookies. These two delicious tasting profiles courtesy of South Side and Java Mint, will make your next cigar and libation gathering by the pool, patio, or deck, a very special occassion!
Sorrentino and Oliva Master Blends 3
The rare and hard to find Oliva Master Blends 3 Robusto cigar features a mixture of potent Nicaraguan ligero long fillers covered by a Nicaraguan Habano-seed binder, and finished with a succulent broadleaf sun grown wrapper leaf. The result is a complex, full-bodied smoke that's brimming with mouthwatering flavors of earth, cashews, coffee, maple sweetness, and spice. Sorrentino is a refreshing cocktail that combines delicious tasting notes of syrupy sweet liqueur with orange zest, lime, lemon and hints of thyme, that makes the perfect warm weather pairing with the highly regarded Oliva Master Blends 3. Couple these two taste sensations for your next outdoor get-together, and make memorable moments with family and friends that you won't soon forget.
Cuba Libre and Romeo Pasion
Romeo y Julieta Pasión Toro cigars are handmade in Honduras with a core of fully aged Honduran and Dominican long filler tobaccos, all seamlessly rolled inside a stunning Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Pasión embraces its storied Cuban heritage by providing an exceptionally smooth medium-bodied smoke that delivers rich flavors of cedar, wood, cinnamon, coffee, and spice. For this perfect pairing, we carefully chose the Cuba Libre cocktail to accompany the hot new Romeo y Julieta Pasión Belicoso cigar. The Cuba Libre recipe is an easy and popular mixed drink that you will find very satisfying. Translated from Spanish, the name means "Free Cuba," and this simple mixed drink is similar to a rum and Coke, but the addition of fresh lime juice cuts through the sweetness of the cola and makes it a magnificent pairing that you can enjoy with a Pasion!
Rosita and Kentucky Fire Cured Sweets
Kentucky Fire Cured Sweets Fat Molly cigar to accompany Rosita. Expertly hand-rolled in a super large 5 × 56 format, Kentucky Fire Cured Sweets Fat Molly is produced by Drew Estate with a zesty San Andrés wrapper from Mexico encasing a core of fully aged Nicaraguan binder and long filler tobaccos. Consummate blending results in a medium-bodied cigar that produces tantalizing tasting notes of oak, sweet tobacco, and feel good hickory-smoked flavors. Pair this exquisite handmade premium cigar with the Rosita cocktail, and you'll be transported to a relaxing fireside.
