Bourbon/ Scotch
Bourbon and single-chain Scotch, which are premium drinks with complexity and bold flavor, are very suitable to enjoy with cigars.
There are 3 flavors commonly found in scotch that you can choose from with cigars: sweet, smoky and mellow.
Rum
It’s not surprising that Cigar and Rum go well together, especially since Rum is a liqueur from the same source as cigars. What could be better than when the spicy and sweet taste of Rum blends with the taste of the cigar?

White wine
White wines are the finest and most refined, and although not often paired with cigars, they always make a perfect pairing. The best pairing with moon wines are light or light to medium cigars that balance the flavor chain. The result of this combination is that the flavors of both the wine and the cigar don’t overlap and you’ll be able to fully enjoy both flavors.
Rose wine
Rose wines have the characteristics of both white and red wines and have a very unique and distinctive aroma. The rosé has aromas of pink grapefruit, strawberry and raspberry, ending in the palate with flavors of red fruit and balanced with acidity.
The cigar softens the acidity and enhances the soft, creamy flavor in the wine, a flavor that would otherwise be difficult to show without a cigar. This wine is very versatile and can pair well with spicy cigars thanks to the multitude of base notes it has.
