Here then is another of Jonathan Drew's experiments in combining Nicaraguan tobacco and coffee beans. Great solid looking robusto measuring 5" x54 and wrapped in a Connecticut wrapper that smells of sweet cocoa. The feel is quite soft and it has a shaggy foot. Once punched the draw as expected was very light and it had a faint coffee flavour, like a milky coffee. The cap was sweetened but that wore off in minutes.
It lit very easily but the shaggy foot was showing an inclination to flower so I tidied it up carefully with the end of my pencil and it was fine. As was to be expected the taste was mild with a natural sweetness and a hint of coffee on the back of the palate. The surprise came at half way when it changed totally into a strong roasted almond flavour that kept me going till it got uncomfortably warm towards the end. I didn't get a lot of coffee but it was a very good smoke.
