What can we pair cigars with? For starters, you can pair your cigar with all sorts of beverages: coffee, rum, champagne, and whisky are but a few examples. You can also pair your cigar with food. I know a lot of people who enjoy their cigars with desserts, chocolates, and even red meat. But have you ever met a man who paired his cigar with another cigar? Very likely, your answer will be no. But I’ve been down that path on many occasions, my friend. I promise you this: One can get drunk enough to smoke two cigars simultaneously. I even have pictures of it. However, that’s not the reason why I’m writing this down today. There’s another thing you can pair your cigar with. That thing is music.

I smoked the Liga Privada 10 Aniversario at a cigar lounge surrounded by friends. It’s an excellent cigar. With it, I had espresso and sparkling water. But all the time I was smoking it, I was thinking of only one thing. I wanted to be alone, listening to Arctic Monkeys’ “Sculpture of Anything Goes.” I wanted the smoke flowing from my lips to turn into… song. I longed for the solitude a song provides.
