Cigar/Scotch Pairing

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone recommend a good cigar for pairing with Johnny Walker Black? A great while back I had a Glenlivet 12 with a cigar but can't remember which one. What I do remember was how well they went together. The cigar made the fruity flavors of the scotch come though really nicely. The JWB has that smokey sweet flavor going on and would love to pair a cigar with it. I'm open to any other pairing of SM/blends ith cigars also. Thanks.

I generally don't drink scotch with cigars as it dulls my tastebuds but here is a somewhat recent thread on the topic plus there are many others if you use the search function and choose topic only.

The main considerations in successfully pairing spirits and cigars center around making sure the relative strengths of each are similar, and then electing whether to go the contrasting flavour or complementary flavour route (as relating to sweetness-dryness, degree of wood influence, etc.).
