C & C Cigars will be launching a line of cigars to pair with various whiskeys. The company will launch its DRAM cigars for Whiskey and it will feature four distinct blends – each targeted to be paired with scotch, bourbon, or other whiskeys. The cigars will be launched at the 2014 IPCPR Trade Show in Las Vegas.
According to the company, the DRAM Cigars lines were “crafted specifically to choreograph the flavors of whiskey and cigars together enhancing the whiskey drinker’s experience”.
The name “dram” typically refers to a pour of alcohol.

Chuisano would stay on with Davidoff until February of 2011, when he would leave the company. Shortly after that he would form a new company called C & C Cigars.
