SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRINGChuao - Candela and Rio CaribeOur favorite pairing is with the smoky, spicy Candela, however the Rio Caribe enhances the peaty & malty flavors adding a curious bit of salt.
SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRINGAshton San Cristobal FabulosoDon't fight the pepper. The earthy flavors, slight pepperiness, and full body of the San Cristobal work well with the Talisker's pepper finish. |
