i am officially switching from whisky and rum to port wine as pairing with a cigar for my evening sessions. the sad truth is that out in the open, any smell or taste of good alcohol dissipates fast and it just becomes an alcohol. and that is huge waste. good alcohol needs to be enjoyed in proper environment, which is not outside where one cannot focus on the taste or savour the smell. port wine is great for this occasion, also allows to drink larger volume.
