Cigars to enjoy with Hamburgers
Nothing beats that first bite into a hamburger, the juices from the patty dripping onto your plate as you unhinge your jaw and take that first bite of deliciousness.
An American hamburger typically consists of a grilled beef patty between two halves of a soft round bun, with a mountain of French fries on the side.
The patty is often seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked to a desired level of doneness, ranging from well-done to medium-rare.
Depending on personal preference, it may also be topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or other condiments.
Some variations of the classic hamburger include adding bacon, avocado, or fried egg as toppings. Hamburgers are a staple in American cuisine and can be found in most fast-food chains, casual restaurants, and even high-end restaurants nationwide.
Cigars are an excellent choice for pairing with a hamburger. We’ve chosen some of the best smokes from JR to enhance your juicy hamburger experience.
