Cigar and sake, a match worth testing.

We're particularly fond of unusual pairings. With this tasting, discover the marriage between sake and cigars.

The range "culinary" by El Septimo Cigars has been specially designed for pairing with beverages. For example, the 'Nigori' cigar blends perfectly with the notes of Sake.

For Saké, we have selected a Masumi Saké AKA (red). AKA, named after the vermilion colour of the official seals used throughout Asia, is the perfect embodiment of the style yamahai It enhances richly flavoured dishes and goes remarkably well with this cigar.

Are we in agreement?

El Septimo Nigori is a light cigar, perfect for afternoon sipping. Its delicate aromas are dominated by creamy, nutty notes, enhanced by the combination with the sake.

The AKA, meanwhile, offers nuances of candied apple and white flowers. On the palate, it is silky and slightly fatty, with a subtle sweetness that is never overpowering, enriched by its typical lactic and subtle fresh yeast accents.

The combination of the two reveals a gourmet harmony, with aromas of hazelnut and, above all, all the roundness and smoothness of the cigar.

To enhance the experience, gently warm the sake - in a bain-marie or for a few seconds in the microwave - to bring out all its aromatic richness.

All elegance and subtlety

This experience is perfect for new cigar enthusiasts and even the most delicate palates. A perfect opportunity if you're new to the world of cigars. Take an afternoon to try out this pairing, with a 'fresh' palate, which will be more sensitive to the finesse of this pairing.
