The Tabak Especial Dulce Robusto brings coffee lovers and cigar enthusiasts together in a 5"x54 parejo format. Priced at $71.25 per box of 12 from Drew Estate, this Nicaraguan puro features a Connecticut Shade wrapper infused with Jinotega coffee over two years. While some purists argue about its flavored approach, it consistently delivers morning-friendly smoking sessions under 90 minutes.
First Third: Immediate espresso shot with milk chocolate undertones. The Connecticut Shade wrapper keeps sweetness in check compared to its Broadleaf "Negra" cousin.
Middle Third: Nicaraguan tobacco shows its spine through baking spices and roasted nut flavors. Smoke production increases slightly but maintains cool combustion.
Final Third: Dark cocoa powder dominates as the infused coffee character subsides. Draw tightens minimally near the nub without harshness.
Rolled at Drew Estate's Nicaraguan factory using Jalapa filler tobacco. The coffee infusion process occurs in multiple stages during fermentation rather than post-rolling. This technique helps maintain structural integrity while allowing deeper flavor penetration.
Average 75-minute burn time with stable ash formation. Requires fewer touch-ups than most infused cigars. The closed foot design helps initiate combustion evenly without toasting rituals.
