What cigar or type of cigar would you guys suggest to pair with a dram of Johnnie Walker Blue Label?
I understand what you're saying, Blue is the best JW there is. :thumbs:I cracked the bottle (a little 300ml, part of a Johnnie Walker gift set a good buddy gave me for Xmas)......WOW! I understand why it costs so much! This is probably the most flavorful whisky I've ever tasted! Man, I see what AVB is saying. This dram deserves no distractions!
You'll be wasting the JWB as it is too complex and nuanced to be fully enjoyed with a cigar. That's not saying you won't enjoy the combo but you won't be getting everything out of the scotch you could be. That said, I've found that it went well with both a Diamond Crown Maximus #4 and a RASS but those are also the only 2 cigars I've had with JWB.

So AVB!
Have you tried any more cigars with the JW Blue? I have a bottle to give as a gift, and would like to have it accompanied by a couple of good smokes.
