How to Pair Cigars with Drinks

The right drink can turn a good cigar into an unforgettable experience. Pairing is all about balance—matching flavors so that neither overpowers the other.

• Whiskey & Bourbon: A classic match. Bold spirits bring out the richness of a Maduro or Broadleaf cigar.

• Rum: Naturally sweet, rum pairs perfectly with a Habano, enhancing its spice.

• Coffee: A morning or afternoon favorite, coffee complements the creamy smoothness of a Connecticut blend.

• Craft Beer: IPAs can cut through strong cigars, while stouts and porters enhance earthy notes.

• Wine: Red wine pairs well with medium-bodied cigars, while dessert wines elevate sweeter tobacco notes.

At MTS Cigars, we encourage exploring different pairings until you find the combination that feels like your perfect match.
