136-year-old Cuban cigar tasted

We also talk about something very special in the show: We tasted a 136-year-old Cuban cigar. There will be a separate blog post about this tasting (you can find the link below). Is there any flavor left in such an old cigar? Spoiler alert: Marie Gerber (Manager Bar & Lounges The Chedi Andermatt) and I were completely flabbergasted. Find out why in this show.

Champagne enjoyment with a cigar

We enjoyed two different classes of champagne. Mine cost around CHF 50 and Marie Gerber's cost around CHF 300. Experience the history behind the champagne and how the cigar tasted with the champagne.

What is Cigars ZEN?

This is a format of Cigars.Zone Social Network. What does ZEN mean in the context of this format? It is often said that ZEN offers nothing. Neither a teaching, nor a secret, nor answers. It means to live life in its complete fullness. You can find an article about it at Wikipedia. So here it's all about celebrating the pleasure of a cigar, a drink and a conversation. Simply switch off and take time for yourself. Just be and decelerate without pursuing a specific goal.

  1. I can only confirm that champagne is a great trigger for the aromas of a cigar. In my opinion, it tends to go better with a less powerful cigar.
