Cigar Aficionado Reveals the Surprising Truth About Cigars and Spirits Pairing

therealjasonduncan.com/podcast | Think bourbon is the ultimate cigar pairing? Think again! In this eye-opening episode of The Root of All Success, cigar aficionado Paul Pearse breaks down why bourbon might actually be ruining your cigar experience. Paul dives deep into the flavor clash between bourbon’s oaky, charred notes and a cigar’s salty, woody profile, leaving you with a less-than-ideal pairing. So, what should you pair with a premium cigar? Paul reveals the best alternatives—like rum, brandy, and even champagne for lighter cigars—that can elevate and transform your smoking experience.

He goes on to explain how acidity and sweetness from options like wine or Madeira bring balance to cigars, which are often missing these elements. Cognac and Armagnac also make the list, with Paul discussing the subtle differences between these spirits and why they work so well with cigars. Plus, he shares his take on the underrated Madeira, calling it a must-try for any cigar enthusiast.

Whether you're smoking bold or mild, this episode gives you the secret to unlocking the full potential of your cigars. Don’t settle for bourbon—explore the world of perfect cigar pairings with Paul Pearse!
