How to Enjoy Whiskey and Cigars

Bring on the Cigar 

I think the best place to start is to pick a whiskey you like and the cigar you like. And if you do not know what you like. for a Cigar, I would start with a mild to medium strength cigar and a medium bourbon. For example, if I am drinking Buffalo Trace Bourbon,

I know that I would be happy with a mild/medium cigar like the Perdomo 10^th Anniversary Champagne Connecticut. The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper provide the familiar creamy and honey notes while the Cuban seed Nicaraguan filler gives you some spice and oak character. The sweet, spice, and wood notes in the cigar are exactly what you expect to find in Buffalo Trace Bourbon. 

This is an example of pairing the strength and flavor notes of both the whiskey and the cigar to create a perfect marriage of flavor. WHen you are drinking a stronger spirit, like single malt Scotch, then you want to look for a strong and bold cigar.
