One Cigar. Three Whiskies. Zero Guesswork.
Most kits have you smoking three full cigars in one night. This one doesn't. Pick one cigar for the evening and taste three whisky pours against it as the flavor shifts through its three thirds. Realistic, affordable, and exactly how aficionados actually do it.
