Cocktails Pairing 3x and 1x ADV King's Gold Toro
Cocktails pairing - three times - with an ADV King's Gold cigar. In this programme, we test a different cocktail for each third of the cigar. WHAT?! I've never done anything like this before. It was an extraordinary experience. Spoiler alert: While mixing one of the cocktails, one of the ingredients almost exploded, no joke. You can find out what happened afterwards in this exciting programme.

What is Cigars ZEN?
This is a format from Zigarren.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 living life to the fullest. You can find an article about this at Wikipedia. So this is about celebrating the pleasure of a cigar, a drink and a conversation. Simply switching off and taking time for yourself. Simply being and slowing down without pursuing a specific goal.
