At The Epitome Cigar Lounge, we pride ourselves on offering house blends that reflect tradition, technique, and terroir. One of our most celebrated creations is The Epitome Dominican Puro—a cigar crafted exclusively with aged Dominican tobaccos, showcasing the island's rich soil and refined leaf culture.
A “puro” uses tobacco from a single country, and in this case, every leaf—wrapper, binder, and filler—is Dominican-grown. Rolled using the Cuban entubado method for flawless airflow and topped with a traditional pigtail cap, this cigar delivers a nuanced smoke with balance and body.
🔥 Tasting Notes
-
First Third: Creamy earth, toasted cedar, and a hint of white pepper
-
Second Third: Baking spice emerges alongside roasted almonds and mineral-rich soil
-
Final Third: A crescendo of leather, espresso, and oak
Medium-bodied with a clean, sophisticated finish—this is a puro that rewards slow, mindful smoking.
☕ Coffee Pairing
Pair With: Colombian drip coffee
The cigar’s soft pepper and nutty backbone pairs beautifully with a clean, medium-roast coffee. Try a Viennese roast or Biloxi blend from our in-house selection for the ideal match.
🥃 Whiskey Pairing
Pair With: High-rye bourbon or a 12-year Scotch
The Dominican Puro’s complexity is elevated by the spice of rye-forward bourbons (like Bulleit or Four Roses Small Batch), or gently contrasted with a Buchanan's 12.
🍺 Beer Pairing
Pair With: Guiness or Chandeleur Freemason Golden ale
✨ Final Thoughts
