I actually changed from my customary water pairing on the second sample and tried a bit of whiskey to perk up this cigar – and it worked. This cigar literally reminds me of a farm rolled stick and should be at the same price point. If I had to pay anything
north of $7 for this cigar I would not be happy; linear but easy to smoke if paired with anything of bright taste!
Retrohale Notes: Pepper Bomb (1st Half) and Dirty Pepper Mixture (2nd Half)
Average Smoke Time: 1 hour
Pairing Recommendations: Literally pair with anything besides water – a statement I never thought I would make – but this cigar needs some jazz!
Pinnacle Cigars was founded by Jhanwell Alvarez, a young visionary driven by a deep love for the craft of cigar making. Under the mentorship of Manuel Garcia—the former director of Habanos in Cuba and one of the most connected figures in Cuban tobacco—Pinnacle bridges the legacy of old-world tradition with the innovation of the new world. After an esteemed career in Cuba, Garcia has begun building a new legacy in the Dominican Republic, shaping the future of cigars beyond Cuba.
Pinnacle embodies what Privada stands for: dedication to quality, love for the craft, and respect for the people who made cigars what they are today. The Pinnacle Sublime, a 6×50 toro rolled at Pinnacle’s Tabacalera Agripina, is a testament to that ethos.
