Have looked at this many times and went on to try another. To be honest, the description frightened me as I am not a smoker or a fan of cigars.
Decided to try on a lark. What a surprise. It does have a smell of tobacco and the combination of ingredients do give a flavour of tobacco.
Really liked it. It is a bit sweet, but perfect for a nightcap.

Enjoying this over a big rock. I used Smith & Cross and it really pops in this drink. A bit sweet, but perfect for the end of the night. Next time I'll split the base between S&C and something a bit more restrained.

On heavy rotation at the moment. Brilliant cocktail. Feels like the rum can only be Cuban! Bowmore for the Islay flourish. A touch more BeneDOM for the extra sweetness and complexity.

Pretty good, used a Kilchoman Sanaig for the scotch will try with something peatier next time.

I've tried this with the D.O.M. and Drambuie and both are very good. I didn't have either tonight so I tried it with a coffee liqueur, and I think I actually prefer it like this. Perhaps less cigar, more aromatic/complex coffee? Either way, worth a try.

I don 't smoke cigars but this is a fantastic cocktail for an evening by the fireplace.

The name is spot on, this is quite literally like drinking an old cigar. I don’t understand how a mixture of some of my favourite things could produce something that tastes like an ashtray, maybe cocktail alchemy.

What an interesting drink. I tried the stirred down version and while I have never smoked it tastes like how a cigar smells. I will love to try it again on the rocks.
