My ‘Sippin’ Liquor & Cigar Smoking Tip

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

As a Cigar smoker of many...many years, a friend asked me one day, "Hey buddy...please explain to me the right way to smoke a Cuban cigar and (I prefer Dickel No.12 Tennessee ‘Sippin’ Whisky & Ginger Ale), liquor/spirits?"

I answered him that if you want to enjoy a combination of a Cuban cigar and liquor/spirits, you are very correct in stating that you should sip your drink. However, do not, swallow your sip right away... but you need to gently 'swill/savor' the liquor in your mouth to expand the drink contact surface as much as possible.

Then the effect of a cigar 'puff/pull' will be more enhanced. Also, many of the aromatics contained in a cigar do not dissolve in water, (i.e., in your saliva). You need liquor/spirits to break down the aromatics in your cigar. Cigar smoking accompanied with 'sipping' liquor/spirits will correspondingly give you more taste and flavor and will most certainly be a more pleasant experience.

Enjoy!!!

Much appreciated ! Often our special 'treats' , cigars, whisky, brandy, pipe smoking, snuff, cheeses, etc etc are enhanced by the skillful combination of one or more of these.
