Rejon Blanco with Arturo Fuente Candela & PDR Capa Natural
A Bright, Flavorful Fusion for the Curious Palate
Rejon Blanco is the purest expression of premium tequila, crystal clear, unaged, and full of vibrant character. Crafted from 100% Tequilana Weber blue agave and rested for two months in stainless steel, this Blanco delivers fresh, citrus-driven aromas and flavors of sweet agave, vanilla, and grapefruit. This is a lively spirit with a volcanic-mineral richness and the finesse to complement more nuanced, milder cigars, making it a perfect pairing partner.
The Arturo Fuente 858 Candela is a green-wrapped gem, dressed in a nostalgic Candela leaf that offers a fragrant floral aroma and creamy, mellow profile. Mild Dominican fillers bring smooth notes of earth and subtle sweetness, which pair effortlessly with Rejon Blanco’s bright citrus tones. The tequila’s peppery edge and sweet agave lift the cigar’s floral notes while the candela’s delicate profile softens the Blanco’s sharper elements into something elegant and refreshing.
For a more layered yet equally mellow experience, the PDR 1878 Capa Natural offers Connecticut Shade sophistication with Dominican Criollo 98 tobaccos. The blend of premium tobaccos results in a mellow-to-medium-bodied smoke with soft spice, wood, and a touch of sweetness. With Rejon Blanco, you’ll discover a flavor dance that evokes pan dulce, Mexican sweet bread, where the tequila’s vanilla and grapefruit marry beautifully with the cigar’s herbal, sweet-spiced profile.
Pairing the Rejon Blanco with the Arturo Fuente 858 Candela and the PDR 1878 Capa Natural will offer you an invigorating experience that's crisp, clean, and delightfully complex. This is a delightful way to savor cigars and a premium tequila under sunlit skies or breezy evenings.

Rejon Reposado with Rocky Patel #6 & Camacho Corojo
A Premium Pairing Experience
Rejon Resposado is not just another tequila it's a true gem in the world of fine spirits. Made from 100% Tequilana Weber blue agave and aged between 7 and 11 months in a delicate blend of American and French oak barrels, this premium reposado presents a rich, golden honey color that beckons. The outcome of this craftsmanship is an intricate dance of caramel, dried fruit, and subtle cocoa with a signature touch of sweet agave. The blend of American oak provides a smooth, resinous depth that perfectly complements the tequila’s lively fruity notes and smooth, slightly spicy finish. This is a sophisticated spirit that demands an equally elevated cigar.
Enter the Rocky Patel Number 6, a medium-bodied masterpiece with flavors that match Rejon’s complexity. This Honduran-made beauty, with its rich Corojo wrapper and blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers, offers a dessert-like experience. The cigar’s coffee, sweet spice, and honeyed notes pull forward the caramel and brown sugar nuances in Rejon. Paired together they reveal a touch of Cajeta de Celaya, a Mexican caramel confection that lingers, elevating the pairing.
For those who crave a bolder experience, the Camacho Corojo steps in. Using a blend of authentic Corojo tobacco this full-bodied cigar adds a spicy, earthy punch. The oak from the tequila amplifies the molasses-like sweetness of the Corojo, creating a rich, balanced pairing that recalls the flavors of traditional Marranitos, those sweet Mexican gingerbread pigs.
This pairing is not just an experience; it’s a voyage of flavor where craftsmanship in both the tequila and cigars converges to create an unforgettable sensory journey.

Rejon Extra Añejo with Perdomo Maduro & Liga Privada H99
A Decadent Expression of Time and Craft
Rejon Extra Añejo is not just aged, it’s artfully matured. Crafted from 100% Tequilana Weber blue agave and patiently rested for 5 to 9 years in white American oak barrels, this premium Extra Añejo tequila is a testament to the mastery of Rejon’s tequileros. What emerges is a tequila wrapped in richness: deep caramel color, soft almond and vanilla aromas, and a flavor profile that perfectly balances agave sweetness with elegant oak, spice, and a whisper of toasted almond. It’s smooth, warming and complex, idealy suited for refined cigar pairings.
The Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro delivers beautifully. This Nicaraguan puro is bold yet refined, with a maduro wrapper aged 14 months in bourbon barrels that unveils dark cocoa, espresso, and a natural sweetness. When paired with Rejon Extra Añejo, notes of mocha-java and caramel converge, accented by a gentle orange zest and reminiscent of Bizcochitos—those cinnamon-spiced cookies that linger sweetly on the palate.
For a fuller-bodied exploration, the Liga Privada H99 offers a complex contrast. With its hybrid Corojo wrapper and rich fillers from three countries, this cigar introduces a savory, peppery chocolate profile. Paired with Rejon, the experience deepens: vanilla and almond from the tequila are highlighted, evolving into pistachio and soft citrus while herbal tones add complexity.
This pairing isn’t just indulgence it’s a celebration of patience, precision, and palate. It’s where the legacy of aged agave meets the layered richness of expertly crafted cigars, an invitation to savor every second.
