  • Cigar Pairings: Chocolate and Wine

    As Valentine’s day approaches, we at Ralphs have decided to switch up our usual pairing for something a bit more unusual, but no less delicious. Nothing says a day of love like chocolate and wine, and when you throw cigars in the mix? It gets that much better. We want to give you some options for fantastic pairings, and that means walking you through some cigars with natural notes of cocoa and chocolate, and perhaps some dark fruit that complement all manner of the most romantic of drinks.
  • Sweet Tip Cigars

    Sweet-tipped cigars are an increasingly popular alternative to natural smokes that offer a flavorful and vibrant experience. They can elevate your stick without taking away from the rich and complex notes found in natural tobacco. If you haven’t smoked a sweet-tip before, or if you have been avoiding cigars entirely for fear of a harsh or uncomfortable smoke, it may well be worth it to explore a new and innovative avenue.
