"Nish Patel – the BOLDER of the two Patel brothers – is Rocky’s younger sibling, yet is every bit as invaluable to Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. Nish could best be described as the Swiss Army Knife for the company. A wearer of many hats. He’s the engine that drives the Rocky Patel Machine. Tireless. Relentless. And he’s always got a smile on his face (usually along with a Bold Toro in one hand and a Nish* cocktail in the other)."
Nish Patel, of Rocky Patel Cigars
We look forward to seeing you at Havana Phil’s!
Indulging in a fine cigar while sipping on a glass of whiskey is a time-honored tradition that aficionados have cherished for generations. When done right, the combination of rich, complex flavors from both the cigar and the whiskey can create a symphony of taste sensations that elevate the experience to new heights. In this guide, we'll explore the art of pairing whiskey with cigars, helping you unlock the perfect harmony of flavors every time.
1. Understand Flavor Profiles: Just as with wine pairing, understanding the flavor profiles of both your whiskey and your cigar is essential for a successful pairing. Whiskeys can range from light and floral to bold and smoky, while cigars can vary in strength and flavor notes such as earthy, spicy, or sweet. Consider the dominant flavors of each and aim to create a complementary or contrasting pairing.
2. Match Intensity: Pairing intensity is crucial when pairing whiskey with cigars. A full-bodied cigar may overpower a delicate whiskey, while a bold whiskey can overshadow a milder cigar. Aim for balance by matching the intensity of the whiskey with the strength of the cigar, ensuring that neither one dominates the palate.
3. Consider Regional Pairings: Whiskey and cigar aficionados often turn to regional pairings for inspiration. For example, a peaty Scotch whisky from Islay may pair beautifully with a full-bodied cigar, while a smooth bourbon from Kentucky could complement a milder cigar with hints of caramel and spice. Explore different whiskey regions and their flavor profiles to discover new and exciting pairings.
4. Experiment with Contrast and Complement: When pairing whiskey with cigars, you can either seek to complement or contrast the flavors of each. Complementary pairings enhance similar flavor notes, such as pairing a bourbon with sweet vanilla undertones with a cigar featuring hints of cocoa. Conversely, contrasting pairings juxtapose different flavor profiles, such as pairing a smoky Scotch with a spicy, peppery cigar.
5. Take Your Time: The key to enjoying a whiskey and cigar pairing is to savor the experience. Take your time to sip and puff slowly, allowing the flavors to mingle and evolve on your palate. Pay attention to how the flavors interact and how they change throughout the duration of the pairing.
6. Personal Preference: Ultimately, the best whiskey and cigar pairing is the one that you enjoy the most. Don't be afraid to trust your palate and experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect match for your tastes.

"Nodal, who started in the cigar business selling cigars in 1988 before founding brands of his own such as Aging Room, began working with the Montecristo brand for Altadis U.S.A. in 2017. One of his more recent explorations of the brand, the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua No. 2 was also fittingly named the No. 2 Cigar of 2021 at 95 points." - Cigar Aficionado

This is a very unique cigar that’s rich from start-to-finish, I felt like I was in Qatar chilling with Pulisic after the US win against Iran. It was so delightful that it made my feet move and took me away. The word Etëfal means celebration in Arabic, Plasencia created this limited release for sports fans and cigar connoisseurs around the world.
Nestor Andres Plasencia said, “With this special blend, the Plasencia family wants to celebrate that we can meet again. Just as the roots of tobacco come together and become stronger, we too are stronger together. We wish to celebrate this momentous occasion taking place in Qatar with the Plasencia Ehtëfal.”
The Plasencia Ehtëfal is made of the very best tobacco from the Plasencia family farms in Honduras and Nicaragua while wrapped in beautifully aged organically grown tobacco.

Amongst all the colour and blast of New Year, the gentle and quiet Rabbit may at first go unnoticed. For the likeable Rabbit displays both charm and caution. After a while, you will become aware of the Rabbit's more dynamic virtues – speed of thought and action, a quick intelligence.
These are going to fly off the shelves, come pick up your’s today at Havana Phil’s Cigar Company!
Upon opening the box, aficionados will first see an inner wood panel in line with the box’s design. It not only protects the cigars, but also enhances the excitement of unboxing the Limited Edition for the first time. Underneath the panel, the inside of the wooden box is reminiscent of a rabbit warren with interlinked sections for the ten perfecto cigars.
The blend of the Limited Edition consists of well-aged filler tobaccos with an average maturity of 4,5 years. This highly anticipated Year of the Rabbit Limited Edition will please loyal aficionados and collectors around the world.
1/3 – A bit shy in the beginning, this well-crafted perfecto develops and delights with pronounced pepper notes, soon to be counterbalanced by flavours of roasted nuts and cream.
2/3 – The constantly changing taste impressions show how complex this cigar is. Leathery notes start to form in the second third, together with hints of coffee and dried fruit.
3/3 – The intensity slightly increases in the last third but never overwhelms the palate. An additional cacao sweetness, joined by cedar wood and fresh spice concludes this masterpiece.
