It’s important to choose the right drink to accompany a Cuban cigar. I often get asked that question ‘What do you recommend to drink with a Cuban cigar?’

Choosing the appropriate drink can certainly enhance your smoking experience. When considering fine spirits a traditionalist typically suggests either a whiskey or cognac. Next time you’re given these options it may be worth thinking outside the square! Havana Club Anejo 7 can certainly be added to the list of spirits that can accompany the rich flavours of the Habanos cigar. The Havana Club Anejo 7 is the seven year old version of this famous Cuban rum and is bottled in a dark tall bottle which is sealed with a screw cap. The alcohol content of the Anejo 7 is rated at 40% and in the glass this rum displays a dazzling amber colour. To the nose the Anejo 7 offers complex aromas of cocoa, cedar and tobacco with a hint of vanilla.

In the mouth this rum is silky smooth and is followed by a complex palate of cocoa, sugar and oak. Despite its complexities the finish is intense but yet delightfully smooth. The Havana Club Anejo 7 should be enjoyed neat but the addition of an ice cube can help bring out the complexity of the rum. Alternatively allow the rum to breath in the glass for a few minutes.

Next time you’re considering a spirit with your Habanos cigar try a Havana Club Anejo 7. You won’t be disappointed!
