Master Your Ash with a Negroni Week pairing!
by, Michael Przydzial, host of Master Your Ash

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 ⅓ 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.
