Shenfield Wine Co. cigar of the week: A.J. Fernandez New World Oscuro Navegante Robusto.

A medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar, the New World Oscuro showcases tobacco from key Nicaraguan tobacco-growing regions. Delivering notes of dark chocolate, coffee, cedar and black pepper, you`ll find that it has a smooth, rich finish. Well-balanced and full of flavour, it`s a cigar that is simply made for a slower pace.

In fact, we love this cigar so much that we`ll be featuring the New World Oscuro at our next Sip and Smoke event, alongside a whisky from The Lakes Distillery. The fruit, spice and oak character of The Lakes Distillery whisky work particularly well with the cigar`s coffee and chocolate notes, and should make for a very enjoyable pairing. 🥃

If you`re looking for something with plenty of flavour without being overpowering, the New World Oscuro Navegante Robusto is well worth trying. Pop in store now to purchase yours.

Throwing it back to our Sake Masterclass on Friday! 🍱 Thank you to everyone who attended to learn more about the world of Sake with our host and expert, Helen Wainwright of Marussia Beverages @mbev_uk.

This was a very educational evening, where we busted a lot of the myths surrounding sake. For example, did you know that sparkling sake and a sake liqueur is available? The sparkling sake was a big surprise to all of us, and was thoroughly enjoyed. 🥃

Furthermore, although the traditional pairing is sushi (and this was what we enjoyed with it on Friday!), sake is a more versatile pairing than you may think; for example, it can be paired with and work very well with a cheese course.

Our favourite sake on the night? The Akashi-TaiJunmai Daiginjo Genshu. An elegant, intensely aromatic sake bursting with notes of melon, lemon and bitter orange, layered with delicate floral aromas, subtle herbaceous complexity and a beautifully long, mineral finish. Pair with sashimi, tuna tartare, sea bream carpaccio or grilled white fish to complement its refined citrus character and umami depth.

Throwback to our latest Sip and Smoke evening, where glorious sunshine called for an alfresco session at Shenfield Wine Co.

Hosted by @davidoffcigars, on the menu was the Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Churchill, paired with the Glen Scotia Double Cask Single Malt - a combination that proved to be a real crowd-pleaser.

The Late Hour`s rich notes of dark coffee, spice, leather, and dried fruit found a perfect companion in Glen Scotia`s balance of orchard fruit sweetness, gentle coastal character, and warming cask influence. The whisky`s vanilla and toffee notes complemented the cigar`s complexity beautifully.

Thank you to everyone who joined us; we`re already looking forward to the next one! 🥃🔥
