Cigars with coffee
A morning coffee and a mild cigar is a classic: creamy Connecticut cigars suit milky coffee, while espresso can handle a medium maduro.
Tips
- Morning: a mild or mild-medium cigar with coffee.
- Espresso or black coffee: try a medium maduro with cocoa and coffee notes.
- Drink water too; coffee and nicotine together can be a lot.
