Today as I sit in my smoking chair and write with the rain coming down outside, (a somewhat rare experience it seems for Southern California) I find myself drawn to a hot cup of French roast coffee, a La Palina classic lancero and some Duke Ellington " In a Sentimental Mood". A very relaxing afternoon pairing that I wanted to share with you all. Sound of rain against the window, sexy saxophone and piano, with the smooth creaminess of the La Palina classic. Coupled with the rich coffee, I find it accents the hint of cocoa in the cigar. What's your favorite rainy day afternoon pair?
