Quality Cigar Experts

As the baseball season winds down, we're getting to watch a lot of footage of the celebrations of playoff teams. The classic images always include the bubbly spraying everywhere, and players puffing on cigars.

I have no idea if there is any effort taken to pair the cigar to provide the best complimentary experience to the champagne, but I'm guessing the answer to that is no. In fact, if you're a baseball player who actually thinks about these things, you're probably looking more for a cigar that will stay lit even when the champagne is spreading all over the place and beer is getting dumped on your head. Besides, everyone is so happy in the clubhouse that they could be smoking dried leaves from the trees in the backyard and would probably love it.

But if you're a fan of one of those teams and you want to celebrate in style, take some more care in your cigar selection. There's the Davidoff Classic, (in a tube, in case there's spillage when you open the bottle), a mild cigar with a flavor that meshes well with the drink. The Illusione Epernay is also a classic, worthy of a World Series winner.

Neither of those choices will make your celebration as crazy as the players jumping up and down on the field -- but then again, you'll probably appreciate your cigar more.
