I'm not a cigar smoker, and the times I've dabbled in the practice, I haven't always been a fan — that is, until I travelled to Cuba. On one particular evening, we were treated to a Cuban rum and cigar pairing where the history of the tobacco industry was explained to us, and we were able to try a top-notch classic cigar brand.
Maybe it was the interesting history, or the rum, or the live performance of African and Spanish fusion music while we puffed, or all of the above, but the Cuban cigars tasted very fine indeed — especially on a palate readied with sweet spirits. Trying a Cuban cigar is a classic bucket list item that's fun to check off if you're up for it!
