Whiskey and cigars go together like bread and butter—if bread and butter gave you a nice buzz. Enter Jos. A. Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon, an award-winning spirit that's crafted specifically to be enjoyed with a stogie in hand.
Winner of a gold medal at the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition last year, Cigar Blend Bourbon features aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, baking spice, and—unsurprisingly—tobacco. Master blender Nancy Fraley didn't skimp on the blend for this one; she artfully mixed 11- and 18-year-old bourbons to make the final product. At just over 100-proof, it's complex enough to be enjoyed neat, but can also stand up to a single ice cube without getting watered down.
If you wanted a reason to enjoy this expression with a curated cigar choice, you're in luck. Jos. A. Magnus teamed up with Partagás Cigars for an exclusive pairing.
Partagás specifically selected its Valle Verde cigar for the occasion. With origins in Honduras, the cigar has a balanced medium body with notes of white pepper, bread, caramel, and cedar. Take a sip of the Magnus Cigar Blend in between puffs, and you'll understand why the two delicacies were destined to share the stage.
To celebrate the partnership, Jos. A. Magnus & Co. and Partagás Cigars are offering a one-of-a-kind giveaway. The contest is completely free to enter; those interested simply have to supply their name and email address on Jos. A. Magnus & Co.’s website. Prizes include:
The contest ends on October 31. But even if you miss the window, you don't have to miss the whiskey and cigars themselves. Jos. A. Magnus' flagship bourbon is available online (the Cigar Blend is more exclusive), and Partagás Cigars are available at many major outlets, including Cigars International.
