Construction & Burn
Hand-crafted in Nicaragua at Drew Estate’s facility, this Toro features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over long-filler Nicaraguan tobaccos infused with fair-trade Nicaraguan coffee beans. The construction offers a consistent draw and steady burn, delivering a well-balanced and flavorful session.
Story & Accolades
The Tabak Especial line introduces a premium coffee-infused cigar blending rich Nicaraguan tobaccos with the aroma and depth of real coffee. The Negra variant adds a darker wrapper and deeper flavor profile while maintaining accessibility. The Toro 6"×52 size gives the smoker a full, satisfying cup-of-coffee experience in cigar form.
Pairing Suggestions
Beer: A milk chocolate stout or robust porter — their malty sweetness and roasted character mirror the espresso and cocoa of the cigar.
Wine: A bold Port or sweet vintage Madeira — the dark fruit, toffee and spice carry the cigar’s caramel and coffee tones perfectly.
Spirits: A well-aged rum with vanilla and oak notes or a wheated bourbon with caramel-cream character — excellent companions to the cigar’s mocha, caramel and creamy textures.
Overall Impression
The Tabak Especial Negra Toro offers a rich, smooth, coffee-infused experience without overwhelming strength. Its integration of espresso, dark chocolate and sweet caramel with premium Nicaraguan tobacco craftsmanship makes it a great choice for morning or dessert-time smoking — especially for those who enjoy flavor-forward cigars with solid build.
