AlBaron Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 As the warm weather finally making its way to Midwest, I'm already thinking about my favorite summer classic drink.What's your preferred cigar to pair with it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Aah...the Negroni! A wonderful cocktail born from the Americano when gin was added to it. Of course, how can one compare the beautiful mix of bitter and citrus flavours with the sweet vermouth and campari bitters in the drink? The Negroni is a bittersweet, even slightly fruity drink which pairs well with cigars. For me, something medium-mild suits it like a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 or something similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hoyo Epi2 or Upmann Connaisseur#1 if you seek the contrast in flavors; something RA or Punch or SLR if you're looking for an interesting association… IMHO . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey66 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Anything goes well for me. Good vermouth and gin really help. Sometimes I prefer a little vermouth heavy as a bit sweeter with a cigar. My favourite drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunod Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Negroni, big time in Italy. Pair it with a Partigas Luci if you have the time, if not a Partigas 898. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quint Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Never had one but my interest is peeked. Wife and I were just talking about finding a new summer drink and I was thinking I need something that pairs well with cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I prefer a little vermouth heavy as a bit sweeter with a cigar. My favourite drink. I'm with you on this one. So far my go-to gin for Negroni seems to be Botanist. And I alternate Maurin (if i"m in the mood for a sweeter drink) with Vye (if I want something just a tad dryer but more complex) Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surucipe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Big Negroni fan here, but I've never paired a Negroni with a cigar. Somehow I've always thought that the bitter aspect of it wouldn't pair well with a cigar. I'll have to give it a try soon to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 All of them. I am a massive negroni fan. Juan Lopez and SLR are what I usually reach for though. Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
