Season 2 Episode 15 Federico Empire Master Blend Private Reserva Paired With Sagamore Rye Barrel Select
I really enjoyed this pairing! The guys at Federico Empire know what they are doing when it comes to rolling cigars. The Master Blend Private Reserva was an excellent stick with some wonderful notes in the flavor profile and added just a slight sweetness for additional enjoyment. The Sagamore had a wonderful nose and the flavor profile mixed well with the FE. You might want to add a touch of water to the spirit for full enjoyment and to let the flavors really come forward. You can find Federico Empire online or if you are in Miami, FL at 1607 SW 8th St. in Miami.

Season 2 Episode 14 San Cristobal Prophet Paired With Akashi Ume
This was an amazingly good pairing. I was shocked at how well they paired. Both offerings brought fruit and spice to the palate that I know you will enjoy. Give them a try! CHEERS!!
Season 2 Episode 13 Padron Series 1926 No. 47 Maduro Paired With Tullibardine 12 YO Scotch
This was my first time trying Tullibardine and it was a welcome surprise. It was very good and paired well with the Padron 1926 Maduro. Tullibardine is a Highlands scotch and this offering is aged a minimum of 12 years. It was very light with only a touch of peat and literally no smoke, think Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, or Glenlivet. And what do I need to say about the Padron 1926, it was an excellent smoke that paired well with this scotch. You should definitely try them, CHEERS!
Season 2 Episode 12 Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Paired With Talisker 10-Year Old Scotch
I am normally a low peat, low smoke scotch drinker sticking mainly with Speysides or Highland offerings but wanted to try Talisker from the Isle of Skye. Aside from a little more smoke and char than I like there were some very positive attributes to the Talisker and it did pair very well with the RP Vintage 1992. Have a listen and tell me what you think, CHEERS!
Season 2 Episode 11 Oliva Serie V Melanio Paired Wtih Johnnie Walker Green Label
This was an exceptional pairing that profiles married together very well. Johnnie Walker is one of my favorite scotches. I am also a fan of Oliva, they make some very good cigars. This almonds and cocoa of the stick melded very well with the light fruitiness of the Green Label. This is a definite must try to add to your list, CHEERS!
Season 2 Episode 10 Macanudo Inspirada Red Label Paired With Jack Daniels Single Barrell Rye
This was a very good pairing that brought a touch of sweetness but an excellent spiciness. This was my first Macanudo and it was a wonderful stick and the JD Single Barrell Rye has a dedicated spot on my shelf. You must try these.
Season 2 Episode 9 Buffalo Trace vs Weller Special Reserve
This episode I pitted Buffalo Trace against Weller Special Reserve. The topic of their lineage comes up in conversation from time to time and I through it would interesting to do a side-by-side taste test. Both excellent spirits that had a lot of similarities but with some differences as well. I hope you enjoy, CHEERS!
Season 2 Episode 8 Rocky Patel Disciple Paired With Bushmill's 10 YO Single Malt
This was a really enjoyable pairing. The Rocky had a decent amount of bite to it but the Bushmills held with it step for step. You should really give these two a try. CHEER!
Season 2 Episode 7 Drew Estate Java Maduro Paired With Yuengling Hershey's Chocolate Porter
This was a very good pairing. The stick is one of my favorites and the beer was good but not great. Together they did produce a very dessert type pairing. Everyone should at least try it, do it and send me your thoughts.

Season 2 Episode 6 Aganorsa Rare Leaf Res Paired with Michters Straight Rye
An excellent pairing that was just the right balance of spice and sweet! CHEERS!!
Season 2 Episode 5 Camacho Nicaraguan Barrel Aged Paired With Garrison Bros Honeydew
These two offered a subtle sweetness that blended very well. The Camacho was a mild-medium smoke that produced a wonderful palate and had great smoke output. The Garrison Bros. Honeydew was just kissed with a honey flavor and sweetness, not too much. They paired wonderfully together. A definite try, CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 2 Padron Presidente Paired WIth Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye
Today's pairing was about spice! Both these two offered good doses of spice with the Rye offering a good touch of bananas, caramel, and cherries to sweeten it up just enough. Both the stick and the spirit are a must try, CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 1 Buffalo Trace Paired With CAO Brazilia
Season Two's first pairing presents two very well-known names. Together these two were a very good match with palates and aromas that complimented very well. Individually they were good but not outstanding. Definitely worth the price point. Give them a try and let me know what you think in the comments!

Episode 44 Heaven's Door Decade Series Release No 1 Paired With Rocky Patel 60
This was an exciting pairing! The Heaven's Door Decade Series Release No. 1 is an excellent whiskey and maybe one of the best I have ever tried. It married well with the smooth profile of the Rocky Patel Sixty. These are a must try/must own combination. CHEERS!!
Episode 43 AJ Fernandez New World Navigante Paired With GlenDronach 12 Year Old
This turned out to be a surprisingly great pairing. The flavors melded well together and I very much enjoyed the pair. Give it a try while you listen to not only my opinion on the pairing but some light political commentary in the middle of the episode. CHEERS!
Episode 42 Cohiba Serie M Paired With Gentleman Jack
This was a GREAT pairing! Thank you so much to John (aka Andy) from Andy's Flour Power Bistro in Panama City Beach, FL for hooking me up with this amazing cigar. And as usual the GJ married very well to it. There was a subtle sweetness, caramel, coffee, oh, couldn't get enough. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the show.

Episode 41 Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Paired With Glenfiddich 12-Year Old Single Malt Scotch
This was an excellent pairing and one that would be a great starting point for a novice just getting into spirits and cigars. The Joya had a simple yet elegant profile that was an easy and enjoyable smoke. The Glenfiddich is a Speyside Single Malt that is itself a fairly simple profile with basically no smoke or peat, just an enjoyable sipping scotch. You should definitely try these together and keep them on your shelf, CHEERS!

Episode 40 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Paired With Belle Meade Bourbon
This week's pairing was very solid and an enjoyable experience. Neither profile was too complex as to overwhelm the other. They married very well and I would definitely recommend each separately or together. And don't miss my commentary in the middle of the episode. CHEERS!
#cigar #cigars #cigaraficionado #whiskey #whisky #bourbon #scotch
Episode 39 Drew Estate Nica Rustica Paired With Russell's Reserve 10-Year KY Straight Bourbon
This was a great bounce back from last week's debacle of a pairing. Also listen for my predictions on the economy for the summer about mid-way through the episode. CHEERS!
#cigars #cigar #cigarpairing #cigaraficionado #whiskey #whisky #bourbon #scotch #liberty #freedom #maga
Episode 38 Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #2 and Balnellan Caribbean Rum Cask Scotch
With Arturo Fuente in the pair it should have been a shot out of the park. I can't even say it got to first base. Listen and see what was up with this pairing. AND, surprise, political commentary in the middle just to make things interesting. CHEERS!
Episode 37 Ashton ESG 20-year Salute Paired With Crown Royal Vanilla
This was a surprisingly good pairing. Both had simple yet refined profiles that married together splendidly. The ESG was almost totally aged tobacco on the palate with a hint of caramel or sweetness in the final half that went very well with the creamy vanilla of the Crown. You should try these two together, CHEERS!
Episode 36 Deadwood Sweet Jane Paired With Horse Soldier Bourbon
I thought this would be a good pairing and I was wrong, it was GREAT! Just the right amount of sweet and spice. Horse Soldier is excellent bourbon, I really enjoyed it. The Sweet Jane may not be in the purist's wheel house but for those willing to try different things it is an excellent stick that is well worth the modest price. You should definitely give these a try, CHEERS!
#cigars #cigar #whiskey #whisky #bourbon
Episode 35 Arturo Fuente Rosado Sun Grown Paired With Knob Creek 9 Year
This was a very good pairing. The AF Rosado was an excellent cigar that I thoroughly enjoyed. The Knob Creek was equally good but at 100 Proof probably needed to be paired with a more Full Flavored cigar as it over powered the stick until I added a teaspoon of water to dial it back just a little. But, that did not curtail the excellent palate on this spirit. A must try on both these, CHEERS!
Episode 34 Ave Maria Lionheart Paired With Widow Jane 10 Year
This was a very solid matchup. Widow Jane is a very good bourbon with a great flavor profile and a nice sweetness to it. The Lionheart is a good cigar that complimented the Widow Jane very well and allowed the bourbon to shine. I hope you enjoy it, CHEERS!
Episode 33 Padron Serie 1926 Paired With Bushmills Single Malt 10 Year
This was a very good pairing. Both offerings were mildly complex and mellow making for a very enjoyable experience.

Episode 32 Plasencia 146 and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
This was my last pairing in the Plasencia series. Diplomatico went with this stick impeccably. The subtle profile of the rum went wonderfully with the palate of the stick. A definite must try, CHEERS!
Episode 31 Plasencia Alma del Campo and 3 Amigos Extra Anejo Tequila
The Plasencia Alma del Campo is the second in my series and was a wonderful stick. 3 Amigos was an equally wonderful tequila. I know you will enjoy them as much as I did. CHEERS!
Episode 30 Plasencia Alma del Fuego and Glenmorangie Original
The Plasencia Alma del Fuego is a wonderful cigar that has a simple yet awesome profile. That simplicity blends with with Highland scotch such as Glenmorangie. The Original 10 Year is a very good entry level scotch for the beginner or old salt and goes well with the del Fuego. CHEERS!

Episode 29 Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Ed. Paired With The Dalmore 18
A great pairing of two of my favorite brands in their industry.
Episode 28 Bellas Artes Maduro Paired With The Dalmore 15 Year Old Scotch
My love affair with The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch continues! This offering is the 15 year and is paired with a Bellas Artes by AJ Fernandez. I have never tried a AJF and the Bellas Artes was a great cigar to start with. The cold draw was 100% chocolate cake with no icing, it was delicious. And The Dalmore paired beautifully with notes of oranges, vanilla, and cinnamon. Definitely worth an hour to try it. Cheers!!
Episode 27 Herrera Esteli Brazilian Paired With WL Weller Special Reserve

Episode 16 Big Sky Yellowstone and Basil Hayden
Basil Hayden is an exceptional whiskey and paired with the mild and mellow Big Sky Yellowstone it really got the chance to shine. If you haven't heard of Big Sky you are missing the boat. Cheers!!
Episode 15 Big Sky Bitterroot and Gentleman Jack
Big Sky is a relatively new brand hailing out of Montana. Their sticks are delicious though and the Bitterroot may be the best one they offer. Paired here with Gentlemen Jack it really shines. Cheers!!
Episode 14 Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua and The Glenlivet 12
Punch makes another appearance but this time paired with The Glenlivet. This was a very enjoyable pairing that I would highly recommend. Cheers!!
Episode 13 5 Vega$ Cask Strength Paired With Michter's Straight Rye
5 Vega$ was the cigars I cut my teeth on many years ago. I couldn't afford to buy the big names and 5 Vega$ was good and affordable. The Cask Strength is a cigar I still have in my humidor today. The stick went very well with Michter's rye offering. Cheers!!
Episode 12 Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Paired With A. de Fussigney Cognac
It is no secret that Rocky Patel is my favorite brand of cigar. This was an excellent pairing. I am not a cognac guy but these two went together very well and makes me re-think my aversion to cognac. Cheers!!
Episode 11 Padron Serie 1926 Paired With Southern Comfort 100
Another outside the norm pairing but Southern Comfort is a hidden gem that is often ignored and it paired very well with the Padron 1926. Cheers!!
Episode 10 Punch Bareknuckle Paired With Boondocks American Whiskey
The Punch Bareknuckle was a very good cigar. The Boondocks was good but nothing spectacular jumped out at me. I believe it may have gotten the lowest whisky stone score I have ever given. As I said it was not bad and if someone offered it to me I would not turn it down, it just didn't sit well on my palate. Cheers!
Episode 9 Drew Estate Java Red Paired With Warre's Otima 20 Tawny Port
It may seem odd pairing a cigar with Tawny Port wine but this was an excellent pairing. The Drew Estate Java may be my absolute favorite cigar and the creamy palate of the cigar blends very well with the sweetness of the port. A must try. Cheers!!
Episode 8 Cohiba Blue Label Paired With Glenmorangie Original 10 Year
Both these names are perennial powerhouses in their industry. So naturally they go very well together. Glenmorangie Original is their base scotch and probably one of the best base scotch's around. You should try these two. Cheers!!
Episode 7 Rocky Patel Special Reserve Sungrown Paired With Johnnie Walker Green Label.webmsd
Johnnie Walker Green Label has long been my go to scotch and Rocky Patel is my favorite brand of cigar. These two were an excellent match and you would be missing out if you didn't give them a try. Cheers!! #cigar #cigars #whiskey #whisky #scotch #rockypatel
Episode 6 Camacho Nicaraguan Paired With Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye
This was a very enjoyable pairing. How could it not be with a Jack Daniels product in the mix. Hit start so you can hear all about it. Cheers!!
Episode 5 July 11 2021 Padron 50th Ann and Glenlivet 14 Year
Another one of my best pairings of 2021, Padron 50th Anniversary Edition and The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Scotch. Cheers!
#cigar #cigars #whiskey #whisky #bourbon
Episode 4 Drew Estate Liga Privada No 9 Paired With Four Roses Single Barrel 4th of July Episode.mp4
A pairing of bourbon and tobacco. Drew Estate is becoming a top tier brand in the industry and this delicious cigar is one of the reasons why.
#cigar #cigars #whiskey #whisky #bourbon
Episode 3 Acid Kuba Kuba Paired With Canasteros 21 Year Old Rum
My first real outside the box pairing but it was a good one. If you like infused cigars or ever thought about trying one this is a great place to start. Cheers!

Episode 2 Father's Day Pairing 2021 Arturo Fuente Hemingway Paired With The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve
This was one of my best pairings for 2021. The audio on this one was pretty bad, I have learned a lot since the early days of the show. But, the Arturo Fuente Hemingway and The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve were spectacular! A must try! Cheers!
