Need help with pairing

[tarkington]

Hey guys,
I need some help:
I have a Partagas 898 from NOV 08, URD or URO (can't tell if D or O)
I have 4 bottles of scoth:  Macallan 12, Balvenie Doublewood 12, Lagavulin 16 and
Oban 14.
Which scotch to pair with this cigar?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas all,
Tarkington

Either the Oban or the Balvenie without question. The Mac 12 is overpriced and just decent, but still has a slight bitterness to it. The Lagavulin is my favorite of that bunch, but with the 898 it'll just kill it and you will barely taste the cigar.

I am not a huge fan of the Oban, but it is fairly mild. Balvenie would be my number one choice as there is a smooth heat with it that doesn't overpower the flavours that accompany a cc.

Balvenie it is, then.
Thank You.
