The story of a meeting : Blue Smoke and La Grappe
The genesis of Box Fusion
A quick message on insta, an aperitif in front of the châteaux... That's how we like to meet people: simple, tasty and authentic. And that's exactly how these four epicureans have worked out what they have in common. They have almost always had a passion for wine and a passion for cigars (within the legal age limit, of course). And both Blue Smoke and La Grappe were founded shortly before COVID.
And despite the confinements, reconfinements and insecurity of the situation, passion is unshakeable. And these four epicureans, each in their own way, wanted to thrill you, to make you feel good. share their taste discoveries. And so, each of them went their own way to create a subscription.
Over an aperitif, the four acolytes reunited, almost 4 years after their launch. The great minds meet and a special edition is the fruit of this exchange: the Box Fusion Blue Smoke and la Grappe. It's a complete (but not complex) experience of wine and cigar pairing. And it's thanks to the sweat of their brows and the testing of their taste buds that they've come up with the pairings that convinced them the most.
