About
This cocktail was created by Maks Pazuniak and later became closely associated with Jupiter Disco in Brooklyn. It builds a dark, spirit-forward profile from aged rum, herbal liqueurs, a touch of smoky Scotch, bitters, and an absinthe rinse. Despite the name, there is no tobacco involved. The combination just leans into those rich, earthy, smoky flavors that make the cigar reference feel pretty fitting.Cheers y’all!
