End of Summer Collection

End of Summer Collection

Selected for their earthy profiles, these premium cigars fit the last warm evenings of the season. A quiet smoke while the days are still long enough. Ideal for aficionados and newcomers alike. I picked these for the end of summer.

End of Summer Recommendation #1

Tatuaje Verocu

The Tatuaje Verocu is a superb choice for my end of summer collection if you're seeking a cigar with a solid earthy flavor profile. This gem from Tatuaje packs a delightful punch with its rich, full-bodied taste that blends deep earthy tones with a dash of leather and spices. When I smoked this, it reminded me of a late August evening outside, still warm, after the heat of the day.

Best Way to Smoke + Accompaniments

For an optimal experience, I highly recommend pairing the Tatuaje Verocu with Johnny Walker Black Label (or Blue of course) to accentuate its rich earthy notes. Alternatively, for a morning smoke, a cup of freshly ground coffee from Peet's Major Dickason's Dark Roast complements this cigar perfectly, enhancing its bold, satisfying flavor profile. As part of my end of summer collection, this exceptional choice will surely delight anyone who appreciate depth and character in their smoke.

Johnnie Walker Black Label

Terroir / Origin

Crafted with Nicaraguan fillers and binders and wrapped in a smooth Habano Ecuador leaf, the Verocu stands out for its robust complexity.

End of Summer Recommendation #2

Olmec Maduro

I recommend the Olmec Maduro, a standout choice for those who appreciate the deep, earthy profiles that only a well-crafted cigar can offer. The richness of this cigar comes from the celebrated Mexican San Andres wrapper, cultivated in the volcanic soils of the San Andres Valley. This region's unique terroir imbues the Olmec Maduro with bold, complex flavors and a robust body that is both invigorating and satisfying.

Best Way to Smoke + Accompaniments

For a splendid evening, accompany the Olmec Maduro with a glass of Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The whisky's rich fruit notes and subtle smokiness complement the earthy depth of the cigar beautifully. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, aside from coffee, would be a Ghirardelli dark chocolate hot cocoa. The rich, velvety chocolate flavors complement the deep, earthy notes of the cigar, enhancing the overall smoking experience with a touch of sweetness that balances the robust tobacco profile. This pairing is especially enjoyable on a late summer evening, when the air finally cools.

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old

Terroir / Origin

The Maduro variant uses a rich Mexican San Andres wrapper which enhances its earthy and complex flavor profile, making it an excellent choice for the end of summer collection, earthy cigars for the last warm nights of the season.
