Pairing Dominican Chocolate with Fine Cigars

Pairing Dominican Chocolate with Fine Cigars

Barbara Bostic

Dominican chocolate—known for its rich 65–70% cacao content—is the ultimate companion to a fine cigar. The natural earthiness of dark chocolate complements the woody, spicy flavors of most cigars, resulting in a luxurious, well-rounded experience.

How to Pair:
- For a bold Maduro cigar, go with our Royal Almond or Espresso Elegance.
- For a lighter Connecticut shade, try the fruity Divine Cherry.

Why it Works:
The fats in chocolate smooth the cigar’s bite. The flavors, when carefully matched, create a balance that elevates both products. It’s not just indulgence; it’s artistry.

Try pairing with spirits like bourbon, rum, or port for a complete tasting profile.
