The ultimate Father's Day gift: Messina gelato cigars
Roll with it
Admittedly, shopping is one of our areas of expertise, but Father's Day has us stumped. Unless your dad is a designer-savvy culture vulture with a taste for gold-plated razors and obscure objet d'art, the gift guides that come out at this time of year aren't much help either.
But we're not ones to settle for socks and chocolates: enter Messina's Juan Hernandez Big Smoke - gelato-filled 'cigars' wrapped in chocolate paper. Named after Messina's head chefs, Nelson Hernandez and Juan Carmelo, the hand-rolled cigars come in two dad-friendly flavours: Sugar Daddy, a concoction of salted caramel and orange gelato, maple syrup honeycomb and whisky cream; and Fidel's Fatty, chocolate gelato, rum anglaise and coconut biscuit.
