To begin the cigar tasting, our cigar sommelier will introduce you to the cigar theme. At the beginning, we go over historical facts and start with the Aztecs, where the shamans already "kept smoldering stems in their mouths" to get in contact with the gods.
Cigar - handmade with passion and love
In our walk-in humidor we now have more than 1,000 different long fillers from around 160 brands from all over the world. Since 2010, we have been focusing on the theme of enjoyment and all possible combinations: cigars on the Cote d'Azur - that is our theme!
Exclusive cigar tasting in one of our holiday homes
A cigar is not only pleasure. It is passion, relaxation and luxury. You can smoke cigars for the prestige - but also for the love of the handmade. The beginner should learn many things before lighting his first cigar. In the theoretical part, we will make sure anyone can master the handling of the cigar perfectly.
Smoking - on the trail of aromas
At our cigar tasting, our cigar sommelier will explain to you how to cut and light a cigar correctly. Then comes the introduction of one or two cigars. Information about the origin and the making of the cigars will be given.
After all the stories are told, the fun begins and the first cigar is lit. Of course, we will show you how this works, because the lighting of the cigars already determines the later burning behavior and defines the taste of the first puffs. Depending on which handmade cigars we have at our disposal, we will have one tasting round (for a large format) or two tasting rounds (for two small formats).
Cigar combined with spirits, craft beer and wine
To round off the taste as well as to neutralize the palate we serve spirits, craft beer and / or wine, depending on the event. We at Urban Living Riviera, select the accompanying drinks in such a way that they perfectly match the first, second and last third of the cigar.
If a big cigar is too much for you, you can stop tasting it at any time or have a milder variety served. After all, the choice is huge! This tasting seminar takes place in your rented holiday accommodation.
Included in the price of the cigar tasting:
1-2 handmade long filler cigars (so called premium cigars)
Spirit drink(s), wine and/or craft beer matching the cigar
Water to neutralize
White bread if necessary
