This week’s pairing on Flavor Odyssey 👀
Perdomo Legacy Shade Grown
+
Gold Rush Highball
A lighter, more nuanced cigar calls for a different approach.
Instead of going big and bold, this pairing leans into balance — honey for subtle sweetness, citrus for brightness, and bourbon to tie it all together.
Refreshing, layered, and built to complement rather than compete.
Tomorrow I’ll show you how I built it.

This week on #FlavorOdyssey we’re stepping away from the sampler for a wildcard episode featuring the brand new Reviver Maduro from Aganorsa Leaf x @CigarDojo.
Freestyle pairing night means anything goes…
Whiskey
Rum
Coffee
Beer
…or something unexpected.
I’ve got a drink pairing in mind that should play beautifully with a rich maduro profile.
Drink reveal tomorrow.
Join us live Wednesday at 6PM PST.
Here on your favorite cigar pairing show… Flavor Odyssey!
Last week on #FlavorOdyssey we set out to find the perfect pairing for the Sobremesa Solita Red from Steve Saka.
This cigar has beautiful cocoa, baking spice, and earthy depth, so I built a cocktail riff designed to complement that profile.
When the right drink meets the right cigar, the whole experience opens up.
If you missed the episode, check it out here.
And get ready… this week’s pairing drops tomorrow.

Tonight on #FlavorOdyssey! @RobbyRas and @MrCraftBeer will set out to find the best drink pairing for the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Solita Red from Steve Saka
Just earned my mixology certification with a Rosemary Gin Sour built on the classic Sour template.
Hot take:
The Sour might be the most elegant cocktail structure in the world.
Spirit
Citrus
Sweet
When balanced properly, nothing drinks cleaner.
Whiskey Sour or Gin Sour?
