As always, Marie Gerber, Manager Bar &amp; Lounges, put her heart and soul into composing two cocktails that harmonise perfectly with the cigar. They counterbalance the different flavours of the cigar and in turn support other nuances of taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marie Gerber and her team are creative and try out lots of things. Sometimes they believe that they have found the perfect combination in theory, only to realise during the practical test that it wasn't a great success after all. On the other hand, they keep realising in theory: \u201eWell, that's probably not going to work\u201c, and then in practice: \u201eWow, that's great!\u201c Two great compositions have been created here, thank you very much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cocktail no. 1: Petit Jardin (small garden), non-alcoholic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Undone bitter orange<\/li><li>Carrot juice<\/li><li>Homemade paprika syrup<\/li><li>Homemade blood orange espuma<\/li><li>Garnish: Cress<\/li><li>Preparation: Stir<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The idea for this cocktail:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Maya Selva is known for her love of creating flavours for family and friends in the kitchen using fresh produce from the market. <\/li><li>This fresh flavour experience at The Chedi Andermatt is also available for non-alcoholic enjoyment.<\/li><li>Fresh drink emphasises the floral, mild notes of the cigar.<\/li><li>French name of the cocktail \u201ePetit Jarding\u201c, as Maya Selva has a French background.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cocktail no. 2: The Element, with alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cachaca (Brazilian spirit made from sugar cane juice)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Homemade apple-coriander syrup<\/li><li>Homemade passionfruit lime syrup<\/li><li>Homemade fermented pineapple<\/li><li>Garnish: Dried pineapple &amp; coriander&nbsp;<\/li><li>Preparation: Stir<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The idea for this cocktail:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The apple symbolises perfection, just as Maya pays attention to the details of her cigars.<\/li><li>Coriander: Healing effect in connection with The Chedi Andermatt (Asian &amp; healing place where you come to rest, so to speak).<\/li><li>Fermentation in a double sense (cigar &amp; drink).<\/li><li>Pineapple is a symbol of hospitality &amp; cordiality as well as decadent luxury.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The cigar:<\/strong> La Flor de Selva Tempo (Gran Robusto).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-Chedi-Andermatt-Flor-de-Selva-7.jpg\" alt=\"The Chedi Andermatt Flor de Selva\" class=\"wp-image-47051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-Chedi-Andermatt-Flor-de-Selva-7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-Chedi-Andermatt-Flor-de-Selva-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-Chedi-Andermatt-Flor-de-Selva-7-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/The-Chedi-Andermatt-Flor-de-Selva-7-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Ready to open the cigar and light it in the cigar lounge.

This light cigar series is not normally my cup of tea because it's too boring for me. This time, however, this light La Flor de Selva appealed to me. The flavour was super pleasant: bittersweet, slightly acidic and lots of roasted aromas (retronasal) of coffee beans and wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination with these two cocktails supported the cigar brilliantly. The first cocktail was sweet but not too strong and harmonised perfectly with the delicately bitter taste of La Flor de Selva. It was a balanced counterbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second cocktail was alcoholic (not too strong) and very refreshing: slightly sweet and very slightly citrusy. This counterbalance and the citrus also harmonised perfectly with the light acidity of the cigar and the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just have a spontaneous look<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't have to be a guest at The Chedi Andermatt to enjoy this. You can pop in spontaneously and sit down in The Cigar Library. Or in the spacious outdoor area. The cigar service is first-class and unrivalled. The cigar prices are the same as at a specialist retailer without the typical hotel surcharge. You can also find Cuban limitadas here. Depending on the brand and availability, they may cost a little more, or even \u201enormal\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, I will say one more time: <em>Make you horny!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cigar freaks from Andermatt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tim-Martin Weber (Executive Assistant Manager) says: \u201eWe are cigar freaks!\u201c Back then, he knew how cigars at The Chedi Andermatt could become an incredible USP (Unique Selling Proposition). \u201eWe do something here that no other hotel does! Either we do it right, or we don't do it at all. We have decided in favour of the former.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Tim-Martin Weber took over the reins as EAM, the cigars at The Chedi Andermatt were in a desolate state. Nobody cared. Condensation was running down the walls of the walk-in humidor. \u201eI almost cried when I saw it,\u201c he said. \u201eI came up with a crazy concept and got the GO from the management.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a change does not happen overnight. It takes months and years to train this philosophy of enjoyment and to inspire the staff. It needed a fresh start. The humidor was completely overhauled and some of the cigars were disposed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo you fancy cigars and would you like to take over the cigar service with a team?\u201d Tim-Martin Weber asked Marie Gerber in January 2018. She immediately said \u201eYES!\u201c and he replied: \u201eGo for it!\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the crazy dream became reality. With a lot of attention to detail, a lot of passion, a lot of daring, many beads of sweat on the forehead and also on other parts of the body - and above all with a lot of enthusiasm and passion for cigars - the once spiritual state materialised into physical reality. As the saying goes: \u201eIf there is nothing on the inside, there is nothing on the outside. If everything is on the inside, everything is on the outside.\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is exactly how the cigar business is celebrated at The Chedi Andermatt. Should I perhaps mention that ultra-rare cigars are purchased for tens of thousands and thousands of euros, Swiss francs and pounds? Or that they organised a tasting for me of a 136-year-old La Corona cigar, Havana, Cuba? Or that they discovered a Cuban cigar brand and bought a box that was produced around the Spanish colonial period in Cuba and was called \u201eLa Confederacion Suiza\u201c? I shouldn't mention something like that, should I? For us normal connoisseurs, it might make our heads twitch \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But: to create an insane USP, you have to be a bit insane. \u201eMach geil\u201c, this expression will always be with me from now on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Chedi Andermatt and its crazy cigar business - the 2021 series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blog posts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/das-zigarren-business-im-the-chedi-andermatt\/\">Part 1: Mach geil and the fantastic cigar business at The Chedi Andermatt<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/la-flor-de-selva-the-chedi-andermatt-pairing\/\">Part 2: La Flor De Selva with 2 fantastic cocktail pairings<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/pairing-san-cristobal-de-la-habana-whisky-japan\/\">Part 3: Pairing San Cristobal de la Habana and whisky from Japan<\/a><\/li><li>Part 4: The century of tasting: La Corona, a 136-year-old Cuban cigar<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cigars ZEN programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exciting, funny and interesting ZOOM programmes.
