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.
