Yeah, I'm afraid of the sweetened cap.
@Desertlifter , how's about copying your reviews over here to CBum?

Not a bad idea. I will get onto that - maybe a large one stop thread for them would be easiest.Quote:

IMO, With the Java, the coffee is more in the aroma. It does smell nice. I found the cigar itself to be just kind of lacking. The Tabak Especial is not too bad, subtle coffee flavor with the smoke. Not an everyday thing. Goes well in the morning, with what else?... a cup of coffee. The sweetened tip does diminish as you go along. I would probably enjoy it better if it was NOT sweetened, but that is how I like my coffee too; unadulterated.
I think the infused sticks have a time and place. I like them here and there but not often. The Tabak Especial Negra is very good in my opinion. I like them as a morning smoke with a cup of coffee with sweet cream. It is a good stick in my opinion.
The Tabak definitely seems to get the most praise.
@Desertlifter did you mention to Drew that you didn't like the sweetened caps?
Yep - that is how we got around to the trick of wiping down the cap. I use a fairly aggressive cut on them to cut down (hah!) the sweetness. I old never punch or shuriken cut them.Quote:

I've enjoyed most of the Natural by Drew Estates that I've tried, although they're not technically an infused cigar.
I love the Dirt Torpedo.
If you haven't tried any of them its definitely worth it to see for yourself. Just because we love it or hate it means nothing. Give it a whirl.
True. The Natural does sound interesting. Do they all have sweetened caps?Quote:

However, the Pimp Sticks that I've tried didn't taste like it. It was definitely not very noticeable.
I'm going to try the damp rag trick next time I have one.
