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."

2006 Domaine Chandon Unoaked Pinot Noir Ros�

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Domaine Chandon is famous for the their sparkling wines but they also make fine still wines that are perfect for summer. Case in point, their 2006 Domaine Chandon Unoaked Pinot Noir Rosé. Not only is it a screw cap (like their unoaked Chardonnay) but it has a gorgeous pink hue and a a nose of cherry blossom and lime. The wine itself is light and fruity with a refreshing snap but still tastes like a serious wine despite the rather Arbor-Mist-like color. It sells for $20.
