Master Your Ash with a Negroni Week Pairing!
Master Your Ash with a Negroni Week pairing!

Negroni Week has arrived and what better pairing than a cigar! Take a peek at my interview with Matt Booth from Room101 cigars where we talk about cocktails, specifically, the Negroni with cigars.
The Negroni traditionally made with equal parts Gin, Campari & Sweet Vermouth served over ice in a short/rocks glass is a bittersweet cocktail of unparalleled deliciousness. This cocktail transitions as the imbiber enjoys and parallels several cigars that share the same transition in flavors over a smoking experience.
One cigar I love to pair with a proper Negroni is the Room101 FARCE Maduro Toro. This cigar transitions from the â…“ of the experience with light sandalwood and Maduro flavors to sweet honey and baking spices. As the cigar is ready to transition, so is your Negroni; they are a complementary pairing.
Certain cocktails and cigars can transition flavors over the drinking/smoking experience and these two paired below demonstrate such a complimentary experience.
