Ultimate Whisky and Cigar Pairing w/ Christopher Coates | Part 1 | Whisky Magazine | Kirby Allison

⚠️ URGENT — SAVE CIGARS: The UK government is proposing plain packaging for all handmade premium cigars. If passed, it would devastate the supply of premium cigars to Britain and close its specialist tobacconists. The consultation closes 2 October 2026. Visit SaveCigars.co.uk, click "I am a Consumer," and make your voice heard. Plain packaging. Plain nonsense! Your voice matters! In today's video, we sit down with Christopher Coates, Editor-at-Large of Whisky Magazine, for the ultimate cigar and whisky pairing video! Christopher brings three phenomenal cult whiskies for us to taste: Tamdhu, Springbank, and Kilchoman. In honor of the 55th Anniversary of Trinidad, we pair our cigar with a beautiful Trinidad Topes cigar. This epic pairing runs at over 90 minutes and has been divided into two parts. 🔸 More about Christopher Coates: IG: quercus_alba 🥃 More about Tamdhu: IG: tamdhuwhisky Twitter X: tamdhuwhisky Facebook: tamdhuwhisky 🥃 More about Springbank: IG: Springbank1828 Twitter X: springbank1828 Facebook: officialspringbankwhisky 🥃 More about Kilchoman Distillery: IG: Kilchomanwhisky Twitter X: Kilchomanwhisky Facebook: Kilchomanwhisky ⚜️ Ultimate Whiskey and Cigar Pairing w/ Christopher Coates | Part 1 | Whiskey Magazine | Kirby Allison 00:00 Introduction 00:25 Who is Christopher Coates 04:05 What is it we're going to taste?!? 08:25 A visit to the Vigilant Walk-in Humidor 09:45 Our Trinidad Cigar Pairing 17:22 The Trinidad Habanos World Days Perfect Pairing 24:22 Tasting Framework 26:54 Tasting #1: Tamdhu 45:45 Tasting #2: Springbank 🙌 SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL    / @kirbyallison   📽️ Join this channel to support our content with independent craftspeople and artisans:   / kirbyallison   🛒 Shop All Kirby Allison Products: https://www.kirbyallison.com #cigarpairing #whisky #kirbyallison 📽 OTHER SUGGESTED VIDEOS    • The Legacy of Trinidad: A Documentary on C...      • Kirby Allison in Cuba: 2023 Habanos Festival   🌟 MOST POPULAR VIDEOS ▶️ $400 Shoes vs $1300 Shoes - A Black Cap Toe Oxford Comparison:    • $400 Shoes vs $1300 Shoes | A Black Cap To...   ▶️ Gentlemen's Day Out In London | Kirby Allison & Tom Chamberlin:    • Gentlemen's Day Out In London | Kirby Alli...   ▶️ Inside The Original John Lobb London:    • Inside The Original John Lobb London With ...   ▶️ How To Cut A Cigar With Davidoff of London:    • How To Cut A Cigar With Davidoff of London...   ▶️ How To Smoke A Cigar At Davidoff London:    • How To Smoke A Cigar At Davidoff of London   ▶️ Huntsman & Sons New York:    • Huntsman & Sons In New York City Savile Ro...   ▶️ Double Bespoke Commission with John Kent & Terry Haste:    • Double Bespoke Commission with Two Bespoke...   ▶️ From Suit to Shoot: A British Shooting Series: https://bit.ly/3CSJqf8 🧺 Dry cleaning provided by Rave Fabricare: https://bit.ly/3ery0FU 📍 FOLLOW US ON OUR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA! 🔹 INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/kirbyallison 🔹 TIKTOK: www.tiktok.com/@kirbyallisonofficial 🔹 X: www.twitter.com/kirby_allison
