Cigar Matching
| Punch Coronation | £17.00 | This fine vitola delivers a superb draw full of floral notes and hints of white pepper in a medium bodied Cuban cigar. Whisky Recommendation: Ideally matched with a subtle, peated malt we would propose Springbank Longrow or Talisker 10yr |
| H. Upmann Coronas Junior | £15.00 | This small Havana promises to have a good future; attractive, good draw, thick smoke with creamy hints of coffee & some nutty flavours. Whisky Recommendation: Ideally enjoyed with a spicy Highland malt we would recommend Balblair 2005 or Highland Park 18yr |
| Romeo y Julieta Romeo No.3 | £20.00 | Medium in strength and a characteristic Romeo y Julieta style. Robust and complex with floral, nutty & herbal flavours. Whisky Recommendation: Ideally paired with a sherry finished malt we would suggest Auchentoshan 3 Wood or Dalmore Cigar Malt |
