Top 10 Cigars to Enjoy with Beer

The select Honduran wrapper's oils give CAO OSA Sol a uniquely robust, earthy flavor; the Nicaragua, Honduras & Broadleaf combo inside sends the aroma off the charts. We like it with a brown ale, to bring out the finer nuances.

Plasencia Reserva Organica goes back to the literal roots of tobacco growing, using pre-Colombian farming techniques on Nicaragua's rich soil. Crisp flavors make it good with many beers; a must if you're passionate about your beer and its ingredients.

We dug deep in the archives and found a wheated bourbon match for Diamond Crown, a very full-flavored Dominican - but if craft brew is your calling, the rare tobaccos inside the Connecticut wrapper will likely benefit from pairing with a smooth IPA.

La Fontana Vintage offers a mellow-to-medium mix of premium Honduran tobaccos, finished with a sweetened cap. A heavier beer will easily overpower it - so take the sweetness as your cue, and pair with a Belgian ale for a citrusy sugar rush.

Packed with huge helpings of Brazilian tobaccos, Davidoff Escurio exudes a fat set of flavors that hit in perfect rhythm. Full, spicy and complex notes suggest you start your pairing with a darker lager, or even a stout - and experiment from there.

L'Atelier La Mission combines a complex-smoking blend wrapped in oily Mexican San Andrés Morron tobacco; packed with flavors including earth, sweet wood and spice, its thick, creamy smoke screams "pair me" with your favorite porter or stout.

Siboney Reserve Maduro is an unmatched premium cigar perfected in the Cuban Style. The dark Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper conceals an exemplary Nicaraguan blend with classic Cuban flavor and aroma. If you’re looking for the perfect cigar to go with your beer you’ve found it.

CroMagnon Aquitaine cigars boast a full-bodied, Nicaraguan-Cameroon core inside high-priming Ecuadorian Habano Ligero leaves selected for intense flavor and aroma. A smoky and savory cigar that pairs nicely with a hoppy IPA.

Perdomo Lot 23 cigars will make a fan out of the pickiest aficionado with a great medium-full flavor of harvested bale-aged Cuban Corojo and Criollo 98 tobaccos tucked in a sun-kissed Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers. Perdomo Lot 23 cigars are one of the best in the world!

Fair warning: Tatuaje Black is a VERY full blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos in a Criollo wrapper...smoking dark but tangy-sweet, we think a hearty ale or a fresh-poured stout will get your taste buds' attention when paired with these cigars.
