Strength vs. Complexity: The Ultimate Cigar Pairing Showdown

The age-old question: Strength vs. Complexity. Okay, maybe it’s never actually been a question—but this week on Flavor Odyssey, we’re making it one!

Robby and Randy will each pick a side and explore which drink pairings work best with cigars that showcase either bold strength or deep complexity. Does a powerhouse cigar call for an equally bold drink, or is contrast the better approach? And what pairs best with a cigar built around layers of nuanced flavor?

Grab a cigar, pour a drink, and bring your best strength or complexity pairing as we put the two approaches head-to-head.
