Although on my other social media accounts I’ve recently made efforts to split my darker digital art from my light and fluffy stuff I do, I’ll probably share it all here to some degree.
When I’m not painting I like to sculpt polymer clay and make tiny things. I’ve started making things I can turn into jewelry and charms and opened an Etsy shop I named JWT Arts and Crafts. I have a separate Instagram and Twitter account for these types of works @jwtarts.

Dive into the World of Pairing Machine-Made Cigars with Beverages and Foods
Cigars, whether hand-rolled or machine-made, have a rich history and a devoted following. While aficionados often celebrate the craftsmanship of machine-rolled, they also have their place in the world of tobacco enjoyment. In this bookmarks, we’ll explore the art of pairing some of the best machine-made cigars online with various beverages and foods, enhancing your smoking experience.
Why Pairing Matters
Pairing cigars with complementary flavors can elevate the overall sensory experience. Just as wine enthusiasts savor the interplay between wine and cheese, cigar enthusiasts seek harmonious combinations. Here’s how to dive into the world of pairing:
1. Whiskey and Machine-Made Cigars
Scotch Whisky:
Pairing Notes: The smoky, peaty flavors of Scotch whisky resonate well with medium to full-bodied cigars. Consider a classic Glenlivet or Lagavulin with a Villiger Export Pressed Maduro, one of the top swiss machine-mades.
Best Matches: Highland Park 12, Ardbeg 10, or Glenfiddich 15.
Bourbon:
Pairing Notes: The sweetness and caramel notes in bourbon complement milder cigars. Try a bourbon like Maker’s Mark with a Connecticut-wrapper cigar like the Villiger Export Pressed.
Best Matches: Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace, or Woodford Reserve.
Irish Whiskey:
Pairing Notes: Irish whiskey’s smoothness pairs beautifully with lighter cigars. Opt for a Jameson or Bushmills alongside a mild cigar.
Best Matches: Villiger Export Pressed, La Paz Cigarillosor Redbreast 12.
2. Wine and Machine-Made Cigars
Red Wine:
Pairing Notes: Full-bodied red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, complement robust cigars or Cuban Cigars and Cuban Culture. The tannins balance the cigar’s flavors.
Best Matches: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, or Zinfandel.
Port Wine:
Pairing Notes: A rich, sweet port wine pairs wonderfully with a dessert cigar. The sweetness of Mehari's Red Orient enhances the cigar’s nuances.
Best Matches: Ruby Port or Tawny Port.
3. Coffee and Machine-Made Cigars
Espresso:
Pairing Notes: The boldness of espresso contrasts beautifully with a mild cigar. Enjoy this combination after a hearty meal.
Best Matches: Dark roast espresso or a cappuccino.
Cold Brew:
Pairing Notes: Cold brew coffee’s smoothness complements a medium-bodied Villiger Export Round cigar. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon smoke.
Best Matches: Nitro cold brew or homemade cold brew.
4. Food Pairings with Machine-Made Cigars
Dark Chocolate:
Pairing Notes: Dark chocolate’s bitterness balances the sweetness of many cigars. Try it with a Maduro or Oscuro cigar.
Best Matches: High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher).
Nuts:
Pairing Notes: Almonds, cashews, or pistachios provide a crunchy contrast to the cigar’s texture.
Best Matches: Roasted almonds or salted cashews.
Charcuterie:
Pairing Notes: Sliced cured meats like prosciutto or salami enhance the savory experience of Meharis Ecuador cigar smoking.
Best Matches: Prosciutto di Parma or Spanish chorizo.
Remember, pairing is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role. Buy cigars, experiment, explore, and find what delights your palate. Whether you’re enjoying a machine-made cigar on the patio or at a cozy lounge, these pairings will enhance your smoking journey.
