We’re now deep into the heart of summer, and that means it’s time to kick off a brand-new Flavor Odyssey segment: Summertime Sippers. For the next few weeks, we’re exploring easy-drinking, warm-weather cocktails that pair perfectly with a fine cigar and a little sunshine.

This week, hosts Robby and Randy whip up a classic: the Summer Shandy. Light, crisp, and citrusy, this beer-based cocktail is a backyard favorite—but how does it hold up when paired with premium tobacco?

Grab your favorite summer smoke and sip along, whether you’re riding the shandy train or just keeping it seasonal. Think bright, refreshing, and perfect for a patio. Let the summer pairings begin!
