AJ Fernandez and El Dorado Rum Pairing Evening Tuesday 20th May 6.30pm

Our next event will take place at James J. Fox on Tuesday 20th May at 6.30pm. We’ve decided to sample a new cigar we’re adding to our portfolio, AJ Fernandez – Dias de Gloria Brazil. Joining us will be Tor Imports’ Alfonso Scherzi to talk about the cigar. He’ll be on a roll following on the AITS Ignite Trade Show Constructed with AJ Fernandez’s signature Nicaraguan tobaccos for the binder and filler of the cigar, it has been combined with a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper for a different flavour profile to the original Dias de Gloria line. The qualities of the wrapper when added to the blend produces a cigar with an earthy sweetness reminiscent of dark chocolate and coffee which blends well with the spice of the Nicaraguan filler. The cigar is produced in five different vitolas but for this event we will go for the Robusto (5 ½ x 54).

We will be staying on the continent of South America for the pairing, as we pair the cigar with El Dorado rum from Guyana. While very much Caribbean in heritage, Guyana has many different cultures within the country, representing East Indian as well as West Indian identities along with being a part of the Latin American region. Perhaps it is the vast cultural influences within the country that has helped produce one of the most distinctive profiles of rum in the industry. To talk more about El Dorado, we are delighted to be joined by their Global Brand Ambassador, and Cristian Cuevas Sales Manager at spirit distributors, Cask Liquid Co.
