Pizza is an American staple. A large, round, golden crust freshly baked to perfection, it’s the perfect food to enjoy when watching football games, at birthday parties, and those unforgettable take-out nights.

Lift your first slice and watch the stretchy and stringy nature of the cheese begging to be devoured. This golden delight carries layers of flavor you can marvel at as you bite into the first layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by tangy tomato sauce. Close behind is the doughy bottom and little hints of herbs and spices.

When pairing your premium cigars with food, navigating flavors with different smokes can be difficult. However, you shouldn’t give up! Thrill your taste buds with a mouthwatering slice of greasy pizza carrying a combination of tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This flavor creates a unique taste profile you can’t achieve with cheese alone.
