MotorCycling Gift Guide: Smoke and Spirits

Winding down after a successful ride can be almost as pleasurable as the ride itself, if done properly. Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scotch ($180) taps the finest and rarests whiskies in the Walker Reserves to establish itself as Johnnie Walker’s premium blend whisky. Blue Label’s presentation of a numbered bottle in a silk-lined box, with a letter of authenticity, makes it a valued gift.

Contrasting the spicy Blue Label is Cohiba Black Robusto cigar from the Dominican Republic (from $13.50 each). A medium-bodied cigar with delicate sweetness, the Cohiba Black will not overwhelm a rider relaxing after a long day’s excursion. (Click image to enlarge)

Preparing the cigar for smoking is an essential part of the process. Xikar’s Xi3RW Redwood/Polished Stainless Cutter ($80) is as much a precision piece of machinery as your motorcycle, featuring cutter blades made of high quality 440 stainless steel.

Ashes from a premium smoke must be properly discarded. Made from Limoges Porcelain, the Alba Bleu ashtray ($350) by Elie Bleu is unquestionably worthy of the Cohiba. It is available from Joey's Cigars in Encino, Calif.
