You may wish to enhance the artfulness of your smoke by accompanying your cigar with another fine organic product, such as a single malt Scotch, cognac. Armagnac, or port. Just as the time to enjoy these spirits is typically after a fine organic products such as a single malt Scotch, cognac. Armagnac, or port. Just as the time to enjoy these spirits is typically after a fine meal, so too a cigar is an ideal digest if and goes nicely with any of them.

You should note, however, that the cigar and the spirit should work together, neither one over whelming the other. This is easier said than done, because like cigars, digestifs can be different and varied. While a certain cigar may seem an ideal match for a articular Scotch, the same cigar might be lost if it were paired with a lighter, more elegant cognac. But, as we emphasized about cigars, you should keep in mind this is a matter of personal taste.

Some people prefer a lighter scotch some people prefer a much stronger or maybe even something in the middle. The best thing is that you have to try what is best for you. A lot of people can make suggestions but only you know what your taste buds want. See if you like Cuban cigar smoking, always remember that you are the boss. It is your time and definitely all about your enjoyment. What I suggest is try Scotch from all four regions. Scotland is the obvious choice but don't forget to check out the other three.

Each single malt reflects the distinct characteristics of the region in which it is made. The peaty character and hints of caramel pronounced in some single malts go well with the earthiness and nuttiness of cigars. Rich-tasting cigars seem to go well with single malts, which share a strong earthy character in varying degrees of intensity. Aged single malts can be more caramel' in taste and less overtly alcoholic, and a bit more elegant than their younger counterparts.

Experimenting with your Cuban cigars and Scotch is what it's all about. This is just the best way to learn and to truly find what you are looking for. The rule of thumb here is that if your cigar is strong, go with a lighter Scotch. If your cigar is somewhat mild, than you are way better of with a strong cigar. Take your time as you try different Scotchs and Cigars and soon you'll have your very own perfect mix.
