Beverly Hills Cigar Club Offers Top 10
Champagne and Cigar Pairings for the Holidays

BEVERLY HILLS – November 16, 2009 -- Just in time for the holidays, the Beverly Hills Cigar Club is offering its 2010 Top 10 Champagne and Cigar Pairings: what to smoke with what to drink to ring in the New Year.

BHCC’s pairings involved identifying champagnes with high ratings in their price category and then choosing top rated cigars that would complement each. All vintages and cigars had to be widely available. Vin Lee, CEO, Beverly Hills Cigar Club, then determined the best match ups, finding the final choices included well known brands but also selections made by small boutique champagne houses and tobacco producers.

“In this day and age, not everyone can afford $50 on a cigar and $300 on a bottle of champagne,” said Lee. “Complementing a glass of champagne with a great cigar should be something everyone should be able to enjoy.”
