Tabak Cafecita Negra (4 1/2 x 32) Cigar

Tabak Especial traces its roots to Kahlua Cigars Delicioso, the coffee-infused cigar Drew Estate created in partnership with the Kahlua brand in the early 2000s; when Kahlua pivoted away after a change of ownership, Drew Estate retooled the project and reintroduced it in 2007 under the Tabak Especial name. Jonathan Drew spent roughly five years perfecting the infusion, settling on estate-grown coffee from Nicaragua's Jinotega and Matagalpa highlands to marry with premium Nicaraguan tobaccos. The line is offered in two expressions — the Connecticut Shade-wrapped Dulce and the darker, heartier maduro Negra — and the Cafecita is the line's pocketable cigarillo format, sold in tins of ten.

A dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-fillers, slowly infused with estate-grown Nicaraguan coffee. Hand-rolled with genuine long filler at Drew Estate in Nicaragua — something that can rarely be said of an infused cigarillo. Cigarillo format at a 32 ring gauge, packaged ten to a protective tin.

An all-Nicaraguan dark-roast infusion that smokes lush, dark and rich, with espresso and cocoa running through the tobacco core. The Negra is the more robust half of the line, showing pronounced chocolate and a touch of spice where the Dulce stays creamy and light. A sweet, velvety finish carries it out.

Alcoholic: a bourbon, an aged rum, or a porter. Non-Alcoholic: a dark-roast coffee.

A satisfying smoke. Allow ~45–75 minutes.
