Saad “Sammy” Murtaea, or Sammy is the guy to see here and cigar enthusiasts alike make it their seasonal ritual to stop in and see him, or his brother or father. They come to chat and to stock up on stogies. As he led us around the shop, I couldn’t help but notice some of the real showstoppers were the accessories.

Sourced exclusively from trusted imports at Casablanca Tobacconist, these are must-haves for any aficionado chasing that perfect holiday Cuban cigar experience.

Cohiba Behike 56 + Very Old Jamaican Rum (20–30 years)

• Cigar: Creamy cocoa, toasted nuts, sweet grass, coffee, and that signature Cohiba honeyed spice.
• Drink: Appleton Estate 30 Year, Hampden Estate Great House Old Edition, or Worthy Park 2007 Single Estate.
• Why it works: The funky, fruity, overproof Jamaican esters (pineapple, banana, baking spices) play beautifully with the Behike’s richness. It’s like Christmas pudding with a tropical twist.

Partagás Serie D No. 4 + Vintage Port (1994, 2000, or 2003)

• Cigar: Bold earth, black pepper, dark chocolate, cedar, and roasted coffee.
• Drink: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 (if you win the lottery), Taylor Fladgate 2000, or Graham’s 2003.
• Why it works: The powerful, spicy Partagás stands up perfectly to the concentrated dried fruit, plum, and dark chocolate intensity of a great Vintage Port. Pure holiday opulence.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 + Pedro Ximénez Sherry (30+ years old)

• Cigar: Elegant, creamy, with cedar, light cocoa, toasted almonds, and a floral touch.
• Drink: Toro Albalá Don PX Convento Selección 1946, Alvear PX de Añada 2011 (for a younger but intense option), or any top old PX.
• Why it works: The Hoyo’s subtlety gets wrapped in a velvet blanket of raisins, dates, figs, and molasses — it turns the cigar into dessert without ever overwhelming it.

Bolívar Belicosos Finos + Single Cask Guyana Rum (Port Mourant or Enmore still, 15–25 years)

• Cigar: Full-throttle Cuban power — earth, leather, dark espresso, black pepper, and raw cocoa.
• Drink: Velier Port Mourant 1993, Bristol Classic Rum Enmore 1988, or any heavy, woody Guyana marque.
• Why it works: The massive licorice, tar, and molasses depth of old Guyana rum matches the Bolívar’s intensity puff for puff. A bold, unapologetic Christmas pairing.

Trinidad Fundadores + Hors d’Age Cognac

• Cigar: Complex and refined — leather, espresso, sweet wood, nutmeg, and a long creamy finish.
• Drink: Hermès Joy 1950s–70s (legendary), Delamain Le Voyage, or Tesseron Lot 53 Perfection.
• Why it works: The rancio, dried apricot, orange peel, and spice of an ultra-old cognac mirror the Trinidad’s sophistication. Feels like a royal Christmas fireside moment.
