This summer vacation we want to offer you a very special kind of break: the culinary one. It is an intense and contained experience where the protagonist is not the time, but the taste. Imagine breaking your daily routine with a moment designed solely to surprise your palate. The best way to make it happen? enjoying the best international cuisine, drinks that elevate the experience and a perfect culmination: a Cuban mini cigar.
In the culinary art, the best thing about small appetizers is not necessarily their size, but rather their intensity. Every good foodie knows that mini can be synonymous with excellence: a well-made appetizer, a glass of homemade vermouth, a wedge of cured cheese… and, of course, your favorite Cuban mini cigars!
If you’ve decided to enjoy a restaurant break this summer, but still can’t find the ideal match, don’t worry. Below, we suggest the following pairings designed to surprise your palate and elevate every moment.
Mini cheese and caramelized onion quiche with Champagne Brut: a portion of this classic French tart is perfect for a refined break. The contrast between the creaminess of the cheese, the sweetness of the onion and the effervescence of the champagne creates a vibrant and velvety experience. To add texture and flavor, we suggest pairing it with a medium strength mini with a balanced profile such as a Trinidad Short.
Chicken Yakitori and Sake: yakitori, bathed in tare sauce, offers an exquisite combination of sweet, salty and the famous umami. The best way to accompany it is with a dry and light sake, which will give us an authentic Japanese flavor. And to harmonize even more with this set, there is nothing like enjoying it with a Romeo y Julieta Mini: the perfect balance to enhance the flavors of the tare sauce.
Iberian ham toast and a fine amontillado wine: Andalusian flavor in its purest form! This pairing combines the richness of a good Iberian ham with the intensity and complexity of amontillado wine. The explosion of textures and nuances is further enhanced by the addition of a delicate Cohiba Club, whose exclusive and unique flavor blends with the Iberian ham, providing a truly luxurious experience in a reduced size.
Dark chocolate with sea salt and aged rum: of course, we could not forget the most demanding palates. Chocolate, on its own, is a real delicacy, and tasting its salted version opens a new world of sensations. The best accompaniment can be an aged rum, which will give more texture to the sweet taste of chocolate. As a special touch, lighting a Partagás Serie Puritos intensifies the pairing, leaving in our palate the memory of the best Cuban tobacco.
After all, don’t forget to always take your breaks with flavors full of character. Sometimes, all you need is the perfect combination: an appetizer, a good drink and a moment to yourself. If we add to this the flavor and aroma of Cuban mini cigars, we turn any break into an authentic gastronomic travel.
