Macanudo Emissary France: Cigar Review & Bourbon Pairing with Matt Wilson
from BourbonBlog.com · host Tom Fischer
Ever smoked tobacco grown in France? This tobacco comes from the Mugron River Valley near Bordeaux, and it’s the Macanudo Emissary France Cigar. Bourbon expert Tom Fischer is joined by Matt Wilson, Macanudo’s Senior Brand Manager, as they light up this rare blend with tobaccos aged 4 to 10 years from Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, the U.S., and Brazil.To top it off, they pair the cigar with Bhakta Spirits Hogsworth Batch 1 - a first-ever blend of bourbon and vintage Armagnac, including a 1982 Armagnac that’s over 40 years old. The bourbon backbone and Armagnac's serious age and fruit play beautifully with the Emissary’s mineral and dark berry notes.For more cigar, whiskey, and spirits reviews and pairings, subscribe to this podcast channel and visit BourbonBlog.com.
