Cigar & Whisky
One cigar. Three pours. Zero guesswork.
One cigar per guest, three small pours, and a kit that tells you exactly what to buy and what to taste at every third.
1 / 10 · The kit
Most kits have you smoking three cigars in a night. This one doesn't. Everyone smokes one cigar and gets a fresh half-ounce pour at the first third, the midpoint and the final third, so you taste how the pairing changes as the cigar does.
