Taste Profile: nice woody tone that reminds me of oak, a
touch of walnut, earthy notes, and dusty white pepper. The cigar has a dry
leathery texture. The cigar provides
plenty of smoke, burns evenly, and has a solid medium body just on the edge of
medium-full.
The Wine

This wine has a very nice bouquet. To me this wine has rich dark berries, dark
soil earthy tones with a firm oaky presence, and hint of soft white
pepper.
The Pairing
These two match up well with their oaky tones and dusty
white pepper spice. The dark berries of
the wine mingle well with the earthy and walnut notes of the cigar. I like puffing on this and when the dry
leathery mouthfeel kicks in a sip or two of the wine refreshes the palate and
those tasty dark berry notes are just wonderful.
