Fresh Home Roast + Partagás D4

Hey everyone,

Just finished a fresh roast of Ethiopian Konga G2 and paired it with a Partagás D4 in the cigar lounge.

The beans profile will produce nice chocolate, berry, and nut notes — a clean, bright Ethiopian profile that I really enjoy. Even just the aroma from the roast filling the cigar lounge was fantastic.

The Partagás D4 brought that classic earthy cedar, mild spice, and slight sweetness that even without drinking the coffee right away, the combination of the fresh roast aroma and the cigar was a great moment.

I’m still dialing in my roasting process, but days like this make it all worthwhile.

Watch the Short Here

Pour thoughtfully, draw slowly, and savor the journey.
