Ten Champagne and Cigar Pairings for the Holiday Season

Filed under: Cigars, Wine

Nothing compares to the perfect pairing of champagne and a cigar. Too often, cigars wind up with dark liquors, their natural partners. Rum, port, scotch and cognac are the norm for an after-dinner smoke -- not champagne. With the holiday season coming, of course, the preferred beverage will likely bubble, so finding the right cigars for the top libation will be crucial.

Fortunately, Vin Lee, CEO of the Beverly Hills Cigar Club, has agreed to help us out. As you prepare for the new year, take a look at the cigar and champagne pairings that he recommends, with both ubiquitous and rare products on the list. Lee says, "In this day and age, not everyone can afford a $50 cigar and a $300 bottle of champagne," said Lee. "Complementing a wonderful glass of champagne with a great cigar for the holidays is something everyone should be able to enjoy."

Although it's about celebration for New Year's Eve. champagne is also default romance and so go for the full cupid effect with Amour de Deutz, a cuvée from Deutz Champagne. Deutz is a house created in the 1830s by a couple of Germans and it was sold to Roederer a while back. The Amour de Deutz is a Blanc de Blancs, bright bubbly with a golden color and a taste of light fruit. The champagnes aren't as well known at the Roederer vintages but are at least as charming. The 1995 sells for $209.
