Cigar tasting organized by the oenology society of Ribera de Duero (Enoduero) in Peñafiel, Valladolid.
Bodegas Mento was invited to the cigar tasting organized by the Oenology Association of Ribera de Duero (Enoduero), which was hosted at the Claras de Peñafiel convent. Mr Jose Andres Colmena Garrido masterfully directed the meeting showing us all (about 50 people) the similarities between cigars and wine processes . The way leaves are harvesting and how they should be treated. The selection of tobacco leaves resembling the way grapes are selected to produce both a good cigar and a good wine.
For three hours Mr Colmena gave us a master lecture on the historical production of tobacco. We would have been there even longer¡. He explained the myths of and false belief behind the cigar culture in Spain. It is argued that there is not such a cigar culture in the country, yet Spain is the second consumer of cigars in the world.
