Season 2 Episode 21 Herrera Esteli Brazilian Paired With Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch

This was a very interesting pairing. While I am not a fan of Islay scotches in general I was very impressed with how these two paired together. The Herrera really helped to carry the scotch, it really made the scotch better. I would want to try the Laphroaig with other sticks to see if the scotch just marries well or if it was the Herrera Estelí that made the difference. I would recommend you try it and let me know what you think. CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 20 Padron 1964 Anniversary Ed Paired With Eagle Bourbon

First I want to apologize, I refer to the stick as the 64th Anniversary edition when it is the 1964 Anniversary. Chalk it up to doing this solo with no staff to watch me.
But this matchup was an excellent one both earning 94 point ratings from me. You should definitely try these two together and I am sure either one would match very well with other sticks or spirits. I hope you enjoy it, CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 19 Tatuaje Verocu Paired With Garrison Bros. Small Batch

This pairing started out of the gate like a really great one. But I have to say that after the halfway mark not only did the stick sort of flatten out not offer much it also began to canoe on the underside from what appeared to be a less than stellar rolling job.  All in all, not bad but I was disappointed with the stick performance. 
The Garrison Bros. Small Batch was excellent though, a very good spirit!

Season 2 Episode 18 La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Paired With Johnnie Walker Swing

This was an exceptional match up. I had never tried Johnnie Walker Swing and not only was it very good, the bottle is exquisite. The La Aroma De Cuba was also a really smooth and mellow smoke. The flavors melded very well on the palate it really was an enjoyable 45 minutes to hour smoking time. CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 17 Arturo Fuente Hemingway Paired With Johnnie Walker 18 YO

The Hemingway is one of my favorite cigars and Johnnie Walker is the largest scotch distiller in the world by sales volume. If you put the two together you have the makings of a great afternoon. That's what I did and it paid off. The was an excellent pairing and you should definitely give it a try for yourself, CHEERS!

Season 2 Episode 16 La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press Paired With Whistle Pig Piggy Back Bourbon

This was a surprisingly smooth pairing. The flavor profiles complimented each other very well with notes of cream, maple, brown sugar, natural tobacco, and licorice. I recommend you give them a try. I hope you enjoy them, CHEERS!

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!
