The Stolen Throne Pairing Experience: 3 Kingdoms Toro & Nashville Barrel Co Rye Pick

Stolen Throne Cigars 3 Kingdoms Toro You can read my review of the Stolen Throne 3 Kingdoms Toro here. My plans moving forward for pairing experiences are to do them with cigars I have already reviewed by themselves. This will give a better indication on how the cigar is impacted by the addition of the pairing libation. I do believe this cigar is a good candidate for pairing with whiskey because of the variety of flavors presented throughout the cigar.

Spring Cleaning Sessions: 20 Acre Farm Robusto by Drew Estate

It is a warm, sunny Saturday morning here and I have been waiting for this type of morning to go through the garage to get ready to rearrange.
