Flavor Odyssey

This week on Flavor Odyssey, Randy Griggs and Master Sensei take a mini-odyssey unlike any other—one built around pure pairing versatility.

The challenge? Find one cigar that can hold its own against three wildly different drinks: kombucha, dessert wine, and even pickle beer. It’s a true test of balance, adaptability, and flavor synergy as the hosts search for the ultimate “all-purpose” cigar pairing.

And for the audience, it’s a total wildcard week—bring any cigar and any drink, join the conversation, and compete for bragging rights. Grab something bold, pour something weird, and let’s see what survives the Triple Drink Gauntlet.
