The Cigar Selections — Now Live on Spotify
A natural evolution of the project begins today.
The Cigar Selections, until now a written space dedicated to cigars, flavour, and atmosphere, is now available as a podcast on Spotify.
A New Format, Same Philosophy
The intention remains unchanged:
To explore cigars not only as products, but as experiences shaped by time, setting, and attention.
The podcast extends this idea into sound.
Each episode is designed to be either:
A guided tasting and review
A deep dive into brands, craftsmanship, and heritage
Or a fully immersive listening session, created to accompany a cigar moment
This is not a traditional talk format.
It is a continuation of the same editorial voice—translated into audio.
What to Expect
The series is structured around three core formats:
1. Cigar Lounge Sessions
Long-form instrumental experiences designed for:
Late evenings
Quiet rooms
Slow, uninterrupted smoking
2. Reviews & Tasting Experiences
Detailed breakdowns covering:
Flavour progression across thirds
Construction and performance
Context, heritage, and positioning
3. Pairings & Ritual
Explorations of:
Cigar and whiskey combinations
Tools and accessories
The mechanics of the ritual itself
Why Audio
Some aspects of the cigar experience cannot be fully expressed through text alone.
Pacing.
Silence.
Atmosphere.
Audio allows these elements to exist in their natural form.
The result is something closer to:
A companion to the moment, rather than a description of it.

The Direction Ahead
The blog remains the foundation—providing depth, structure, and reference.
The podcast expands it into:
Experience
Presence
Continuity
Together, they form a single system:
A complete exploration of cigars, flavour, and time.
Final Note
If you’ve been following The Cigar Selections through written reviews, this is simply the next layer.
If you’re discovering it through audio—welcome.
The format may change.
The intention does not.
