Nice
New to it... starting real slow with mild and slightly infused sticks...
I had this tonight:
Drew Estates Dulce
Real smooth, hints of caramel... was gonna sip some crown bourbon mash with it but I went crown apple instead... I know most people think to pair infused or sweet cigars with something that has a little more bite, but this worked well for me... took a pull, licked my lips and then sipped that apple crown... tasted like a carnival apple... shit was CRAZY good

Thats good... I never question ones taste when pairing cigars
Thinking about trying the new Crown Royal Blackberry today... not sure what cigar... enjoy
Yeah man me and my boys got into it... as I'm new to this they all started clowning me saying I shouldn't pair those 2 together but fuck them niggas... I'M ME.
I'm coming at this shit with the curiosity of a child exploring the world around him, seeing what works, what doesn't work... finding my own path.
Plus I have a taste for sweet, fruity alcoholic beverages anyway so that shit was perfect for me. Don't get me wrong I love a good old fashion, but I can also appreciate a bomb ass mixed drink that hides that alcohol taste and is still strong.
I got a stick I'll fire this weekend, it has honey and floral/fruit notes to it according to the salesman. I'll post it and my thoughts on it when I do.
I bought another one of these and decided I'm going all out with the pairing...
2 parts rumchata
1 part fireball
1 part vanilla crown or salted caramel crown
Since the cigar is so mild and smooth, the drink should pair really well with it. Super excited to try this pairing
Hmmmm... that Rumchata /Fireball. Combo is nice... never had it withVanilla crown or salted Caramel crown.. Ill chexkbit out....here is on option.. not sure its the same cigar as yours
There are a few receipes online when pairing

It's named Call to Arms. One of the better cigars I've had in a while.

That's cool... the guy that owns it either lives there still or is originally from Humble, TX which is just north of Houston. Guys at the shop made it seem like it was a regional thing only but if their sticks are all over then good on the local boys making it and getting them in more shops.
Speaking of...
I had a CAO Cameroon Perfecto last night with a double of Jefferson's Reserve. The cigar was a little peppery when exhaled thru the nose but it wasn't unbearable. It was actually a nice smoke that had just enough bite to keep you from puffing it too quickly as I tend to do with the smoother or infused cigars I sometimes smoke.
This wasn't my favorite cigar but it's one I'm not opposed to having again.
Hmmm... Ok
Stolen Throne Call to Arms Cigars
Stolen Throne was established by JR Cannon and Lee Marsh in 2019 in Virginia, the cigars are blended in collaboration with Texas-based cigar manufacturer and blender Noel Rojas. The Call to Arms is Stolen Throne's second cigar, and it features a Sumatran wrapper around Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Loaded with notes of chocolate, pepper, cream, leather, and nuts.
They are Va based & Rojas is in TX. Rojas has damn good cigars that he put out himself.
Stolen Throne's best cigar is still the Crook of the Crown, I had a cigar from the original release. .
I'll go look for it next week.
Seems I got my cigars mixed up.
It's not Stolen Thrones A Call to Arms that's from a Houston, it was another favorite of mine Bocock Bros.
They are releasing a new size for the 5th anniversary of the original release https://smokersabbeyaustin.com/product/stolen-throne-5th-anniversary-crook-of-the-crown-corona/
I'll have some on my desk next week
