Cigar Pairing: Ashton Aged Maduro #20 With Dark Chocolate

http://www.SmokingHotCigarChick.com This is a very nutty and creamy smoke that is complimented and intensified when paired with dark chocolate.

For a treat, try this tasting at home or with a group of friends and see for yourself how the chocolate compliments the Ashton Aged Maduro so beautifully.

This particular cigar is the Ashton Aged Maduro #20, a corona sized cigar which is an ideal size to consider for new smokers. It is also a great size to consider when tasting a new style of cigar for the very first time.

Another thing to be aware of with cigars is that the color of the wrapper has no relation to the strength of the cigar. This is a great example, as the wrapper may be very dark in color, it is quite mild and smooth in taste. By no means is darker to be interpreted as stronger.

And this is one yummy smoke to consider!

Very informative vid...I remember doing a vineyard tour back in June and we paired some chocolate with their port but never tried it with a cigar and most cigars I smoke have dark wrappers. Should it be JUST dark chocolate?

You don't have to pair it with just chocolate, Basil Hayden Bourbon also works lovely with the chocolate and this cigar.

Chocolate and port are a pretty delicious combination though, nom! I do love a tawny port paired up with a padron.

I would eat all of the chocolate first and then smoke the cigar...

I hope it was Belgian chocolate?

[smokinghotcigarchick]

Dark and bitter are my preferred styles when it comes to chocolate, and I love the ones from Belgium! Their beers are fabulous, too, on that note.

Hi Theresa! you are beautiful and so natural! :)

about cigar....when you eat chocolate and smoke cigar you are right: THE Chocolate is everywhere, not cigar is everywhere !! especially when both are sweet or bitter ! in chocolate is bitter and the cigar in sweet = not a perfect taste, but fine.

bye
