We had the immense pleasure of sharing with you a truly extraordinary gastronomic experience centred around a unique pairing: cigar-smoked sushi, created to accompany a tasting of AVO Expresivo at L’Instinct Amazonia restaurant.

On the programme were three cigars — a AVO Expresivo, an AVO XO or Classic, and an AVO Puritos — paired with a selection of Japanese creations featuring surprising flavours. The tasting comprised 15 varied sushi pieces, including delicious creations featuring cigar-smoked salmon, as well as a live cooking demonstration featuring cigar-smoked nigiri prepared right there in front of the guests. The experience continued with a cigar-smoked salmon ceviche, served with Caribbean leche, followed by a salmon tataki with black sesame, pickles and a touch of chilli oil, also delicately cigar-smoked.

As for drinks, and to round off this journey for the senses, two signature cocktails – the Yuzu and the White Russian – complemented this fusion of gastronomy, mixology and the world of cigars. A unique experience in which the aromas of the cigar blended with those of the cuisine to create a pairing that was as bold as it was unforgettable.
