Tabak Negra
While there are plenty of coffee flavored cigars on today’s market, one continues to stand head and shoulders above the rest: Tabak Especial Robusto Negra. Made at the world famous La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate in Nicaragua under the supervision of none other than the master of flavored cigars himself, Jonathan Drew, Tabak Especial is set apart from the rest in that the tobacco isn’t simply flavored, but infused. Drew is best known for his flavor infusion process, mainly made popular by his ACID brand, and in this case he has made a dream come true for coffee-loving cigar smokers worldwide. The regular production Tabak Especial brand is available in 2 blends, Dulce and Negra. Both contain infused Nicaraguan filler and binder tobacco. For Dulce, the wrapper is an aged shade-grown Connecticut leaf, while the Negra variety sports a dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro. The two varieties share plenty of similarities in the flavor department, so it basically comes down to whether you are more a fan of maduro or natural sticks. Either way, Tabak Especial boasts an ideal balance of tobacco and coffee flavor, so even non-fans of flavored cigars will likely enjoy the unique taste.
