My birthday was last week and my wonderful wife gave me the best present ever. I am a long time smoker and she gave me Makers Mark Cigars. These are made with premium Maker’s Mark bourbon and are aged for around 5-6 years, then bottled only when the expert tasters agree that it is ready. They are made with a long leaf Cuban Seed grown in the Dominican Republic, and the full cigar is aromatically seasoned with Maker’s Mark bourbon for a subtle intriguing taste that will gently linger on your palate just like the Bourbon. I enjoy scotch or bourbon while smoking cigars, so this is the perfect pairing. They are smooth and delicious, not overpowering. My wife really picked a good one this year. She usually gets me cigars on my birthday, but I don’t remember ever enjoying any as much as I have enjoyed these. I still have a few left. I am keeping those for a special occasion. I think for next years present, I may ask my wife to take me down to Kentucky for a tour of the distiller. That sounds like it would be interesting to learn about, but I will have to find out if they talk about the cigars on their tour. I wouldn’t mind just finding out about the whiskey, but since I am an avid cigar smoker and love the Makers Mark Cigars, it seems like it would be a waste to go all the way down there and find out that I can’t get cigars there. That is something I will need to look into.
