Why this pairing works

• Citrus Bitterness vs. Natural Sweetness : The Allende IPA has a noticeable citrus bitterness that creates an interesting contrast to the smooth, natural sweetness of the Plasencia Reserva Original . The freshness of the IPA brings out the dried fruit and cream notes of the cigar.
• Earthiness vs. Herbality : The organic earthiness of the Plasencia pairs well with the herbal, resinous characteristics of the IPA, providing a flavor bridge between the two.
• Medium Body vs. Refreshing Carbonation : The carbonation and crispness of the IPA helps to enhance the cigar's softer flavors, like cocoa and toasted nuts, while the cigar's medium strength doesn't overwhelm the beer.
