When it comes to pairing beverages with a fine cigar, the cigar enthusiast has a plethora of choices—beer, cola, coffee, tea, water, wine, and whiskey.
But there is one beverage that will enhance the flavors of finely-aged tobaccos without overpowering them.
That beverage is espresso.
With its primary notes of chocolate, flowers, fruits, and toasted bread—along with just a touch of acidity and bitterness—an espresso complements and enhances the traditional flavors and aromas of practically every type of cigar.
As with most beverage and cigar pairings, the most common “rule of thumb” is to match the color of the two.
While this rule can be applied to cigars and espresso, there are some caveats.
Strength, flavor, and the body of the beverage all play a role and the three are nearly identical to the main descriptors for premium cigars.
The overall strength and body of the espresso should not compete with the cigar and, assuming you are looking for a nice complement to your smoking experience (and not the other way around), the beverage should be of the same intensity as the vitola’s blend.
For example, a full-bodied cigar warrants a full-bodied espresso.
But even the smoker of milder cigars has no need to shy away from this stimulating pairing, since—contrary to popular belief—lightly roasted coffee blends may be used to prepare an espresso to match the subtleness of a Connecticut vitola.
Traditional “espresso roast” coffees can be used to pull a bolder shot to complement a cigar blend composed with a Mexican San Andres wrapper.
The possibilities are endless.
