With the New Year here, The Beverly Hills Cigar Club has compiled its Top 5 Champagne and Cigar Pairings: ideal combinations for ringing in 2011.

BHCC’s pairings were formed by compiling a list of the highest rated champagnes, then selecting a top rated cigar that would complement the beverage.

Selections for both ranged through multiple price categories, ensuring, fairly surprisingly, this pleasurable combination is available for every budget.

Vin Lee, CEO, Beverly Hills Cigar Club, then narrowed the selections down to an exclusive list of the five best champagne and cigar pairings available.

“Now is the time for the world to celebrate its recovery and success,” said Lee.

“For the New Year, from Dubai to Paris and from New York to Beverly Hills, it is time for the world to rejoice in what we have and who we are. Coming together with a glass of bubbly and a fine cigar, let’s welcome 2011.”
