Bushido is a fine cigar, not one of the greatest. You are not missing a whole lot. I would not pay the regular price for it but well I had it for free. Today was a RyJ Duke.
Free again?! :faint:

The tea supposed to go with the Scotch. Lol. Today was Juan Lopez Short Torpedo Edición Regional Caribe, a E2 and a Fonseca Cosaco.

Uh, no thanks.
More Smoke than Dalwhinnie.
More than Laphroaig?
Close.
Tell us more about the tea and scotch pairing.
The owner paired the Glenmorangie 18 y.o. with their Darjeeling white peony tea. The sweetness in the Glenmorangie is accentuated by the slightly sweetened tea which makes it easy to drink. However, the Glenmorangie has a complicated citrus aftertaste which was masked by the tea.
The second pair was Laphroaig with the Oolong tea. The Laphroaig is smokey and I can't get the aftertaste. The Oolong makes it much easy to drink.
Personally, I prefer the Laphroaig straight with the cigar but my friends think that is too strong. As for the tea pairing, none of us really get it. I think it just kind of makes it easier to drink by watering it down and adding some sweetness to it. Perhaps to serve as universal party drinks.
Interesting that it's used to mask to a degree instead of enhance. Is Dimple very popular?
