The world of cigars comes with a nearly limitless number of different blends and flavor profiles. But when you start pairing your favorite sticks with some tasty beverages, you're entering a whole new universe of flavor. In this video, I'll take you through my process for pairing, and show you how to search out your own favorite pairings.
Tonight my guest is Frank Bellavia. He is a returning guest mand he represents Black Label Trading Co & Lotus . We're smoking cigars from Black Label Trading Co. This company has one of the biggest cult followings among boutique cigar makers.
Q. What's a good cigar for a beginner?
A. When you're first getting into cigars, it's so important to try new things. So in one sense new cigar smokers should smoke a little of everything. If, however, you're looking for your FIRST cigar you might think about something light bodied. Some examples would be Rocky Patel's Vintage 1999, Camacho Connecticut, Oliva Connecticut Reserve, or the Liga Zebra. And yes, you can get all of these on Cigarsdaily.com at a healthy discount.
Q. Tim, what was the first cigar you ever smoked?
A. When I was 17, I was working at a video game store, and a cop gave me a Backwoods cigar (true story). But on my 18th birthday I smoked my REAL first cigar, it was an Ashton Churchill. It was 7 inches long and it made me sick to my stomach... If you're just getting into cigars, start with something a little shorter!
Q. Do you carry ________ brand of cigars?
A. Of course, if I was able to, I'd carry everything. I'm currently growing the inventory on CigarsDaily.com. And I could really use your help to do it. If you want to see a specific brand carried on the website, just email me about it at hello@cigarsdaily.com. I actually use suggestions from everyone to decide what we'll carry. Based on people's recommendations, I brought in cigars from Cohiba, RoMa Craft, and Camacho this last week!

You won't make it very far through the cigar world before finding someone who has some... hostility toward Acid Cigars and other infused blends on the market. Hell, you may even be that person. So I wanted to take you through some important points on flavored and infused blends that I think all cigar lovers should consider. And if you want more out of this video, check it out on Cigarsdailyplus.com
NOTE: Neither Drew Estate or any other cigar maker incentivized me, in any way, to make this video. This video just contains my thoughts on infused cigars and their place in the cigar world.

Plasencia is celebrating the Year of the Tiger with this ultra rare and high end Nicaragua blend from their 10-year aged leaf library. It's a promising-sounding cigar, especially if you're a Plasencia fan. But is it '$40 per cigar' good? And the only way to find out is with a cut and a light.
