Flavor Odyssey

Wednesday, October 28th, the Odyssey continues… this week our hosts Robby Ras and Randy Griggs resume their exploration into Connecticut Broadleaf Wrapper. The pairing on this episode will be the Herrera Esteli Broadleaf from Drew Estate combined with rum!

The Odyssey continues… this week special guest Nick Melillo AKA “Chief of the Broadleaf” will help Robby and Randy begin their journey into broadleaf wrapper. Nick is an expert on Broadleaf and will be able to give our hosts a better understanding of what this wrapper brings to the table. This week’s pairing will be the Foundation Cigar's Tabernacle paired with black coffee.

The Odyssey continues… this week it’s a wildcard episode and your hosts Robby and Randy will be pairing a Cuban cigar with Oktoberfest beer. Join us for this most interesting pairing and grab your favorite Cuban cigar, an Oktoberfest beer, and see how this pairing works.

The Odyssey continues… this week, Robby and Randy wrap-up (pun intended) their journey into Habano-wrapped cigars with the Casa Cuevas La Mandarria and pair it with bourbon. Yes, that’s right, bourbon, the Dojo’s favorite spirit! Will the bourbon overrun the subtle flavors of the La Mandarria? Find out on this week’s show.

The Odyssey continues… this week, Robby and Randy continue their journey into the habano wrapper as they pair the classic My Father with a Belgian tripel. It’s been awhile since the team has tackled a beer pairing, which both hosts specialize in, but will the combo be a hit or miss?

This week, Robby and Randy dive deeper into the Habano wrapper, as they pair Drew Estate’s Herrera Esteli with the El Brujito cocktail (as picked by Drew Estate’s own Frankie Dranks from the Sticks and Sips podcast). It’s our hosts' second foray into this classic wrapper and it’s possible this leaf might just pair well with everything... but you will have to tune in to find out.

The Odyssey continues… this week, Davidoff’s Klaas Kelner joins Robby and Randy as they begin their journey into the Habano leaf. On this first episode featuring Habano wrapper, we pair the Davidoff Late Hour with Scotch whisky. Kelner, the Senior Brand Ambassador from Davidoff, will be guiding us and giving us the inside scoop on what we might expect from this pairing, as well as future pairings with this classic wrapper.

The Odyssey continues… it’s a WILDCARD episode with our hosts Robby Rasmussen and Randy Griggs, taking a quick detour into Cameroon-wrapped cigars and pairing with a Mojito cocktail. Grab some rum, mint, club soda, simple syrup, and your favorite Cameroon-wrapped cigar, and join the Odyssey.

The Odyssey continues… as the team will be on their final leg of the Sumatra wrapper journey. This week, we pair the Oliva Serie V Melanio with coffee. It will also be a special episode of Flavor Odyssey, as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the show and Randy travels to Dojo headquarters to be live in studio!

Coinciding with Cigar Dojo’s monumental collaborative release of the Undercrown Dogma Sun Grown, this week’s pairing features this cigar with Master Sensei’s drink of choice: bourbon! Helping to sort this pairing out, special guest Jack Heyer of Drew Estate will be joining us live.
