Igniting Your Independence Day
Celebrate with Fireworks & Fine Cigars
Hello, fellow cigar friends! As we approach the 4th of July, we’re excited to bring you this month’s special selections for our Cigar Society. We’re lighting up our Independence Day with two stellar picks: the CAO America and the Macanudo Vintage 2010handpicked by our very own certified tobacconist, Luke Davis. These two cigars not only embody the spirit of craftsmanship and quality, but they also pair perfectly with the celebratory vibes of July.
CAO America: A Patriotic Puro
The CAO America is a fitting tribute to our nation’s birthday. This robust cigar boasts a striking double wrapper—a Connecticut Broadleaf and a Connecticut Shade—which gives it its signature barber-pole appearance. Beneath these layers lies a harmonious blend of tobaccos from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Italy, and the United States.
Once you light up the CAO America, you’ll be greeted with a rich tapestry of flavors. Expect an initial burst of pepper and earth, followed by a creamy sweetness. Notes of cocoa and espresso emerge as you journey through the smoke, finishing with a hint of cedar and spice. We suggest pairing the CAO America with a bold bourbon or a full-bodied red wine. We have a delightful array, so if you have a favorite go with that. If you don’t have a favorite, we recommend Jefferson’s Ocean or Austin Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. These will complement the cigar’s complexity and enhance your smoking experience.
Macanudo Vintage 2010: A Decade of Excellence
The Macanudo Vintage 2010 is a celebration of time and tradition, much like our great nation. This cigar features a rare Connecticut Shade wrapper from the 2010 harvest, meticulously aged to perfection. Inside, you’ll find a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Piloto Cubano tobaccos.
The Macanudo Vintage 2010 offers a refined and elegant smoke. Its creamy profile is underscored by subtle notes of cedar, nuts, and a touch of vanilla. The smoke is smooth and mellow, with a long, satisfying finish. Enjoy with a glass of aged rum or a fine single malt scotch. A Chardonnay with oaky undertones or a buttery California Chardonnay will also highlight the cigar’s nuanced flavors. We suggest the Balvenie Caribbean Cask or Harken Chardonnay.
