This week’s pairing on Flavor Odyssey 👀 Perdomo Legacy Shade Grown + Gold Rush Highball A lighter, more nuanced cigar calls for a different approach. Instead of going big and bold, this pairing leans into balance — honey for subtle sweetness, citrus for brightness, and bourbon to tie it all together. Refreshing, layered, and built to complement rather than compete. Tomorrow I’ll show you how I built it. Join us live Wednesday at 6PM PT / 9PM ET @CigarDojo #FlavorOdyssey #CigarPairing #CraftCocktails #Bourbon

Last week on #FlavorOdyssey we set out to find the perfect pairing for the Sobremesa Solita Red from Steve Saka. This cigar has beautiful cocoa, baking spice, and earthy depth, so I built a cocktail riff designed to complement that profile. When the right drink meets the right cigar, the whole experience opens up. If you missed the episode, check it out here. And get ready… this week’s pairing drops tomorrow. Here on your favorite cigar pairing show… Flavor Odyssey!

Just earned my mixology certification with a Rosemary Gin Sour built on the classic Sour template. Hot take: The Sour might be the most elegant cocktail structure in the world. Spirit Citrus Sweet When balanced properly, nothing drinks cleaner. Whiskey Sour or Gin Sour?

This week's style is similar in character to an English Bitter, with less hopping and a bit of roasted or black malt. The roasted grain addition contributes to a reddish color and dry finish.

Does anyone else in the #Dojoverse @CigarDojo think Snell looks like @MrCraftBeer ? LOL
