Nice looking cigar, good feel, sweet smell un-lit.
Starts out with nutty, earth tones. Nice ash.
A little complex and starts to have a sweeter, mocha flavor. I'm loving it!
Time to put it to bed.
Great stick! Could definately pair this with coffee, AM or PM. I had it with a Magic Hat #9
All in all, a great smoke with diverse flavor(s).
Not bad for an Easter Sunday stick!
Happy Easter!!!

I would have preferred an Otter Creek Copper Ale or even a MH Phat Angel, but #9 is all I had. Loved the stick!!!!

Cuban coffee is brewed like an espresso but with raw sugar in the grounds...Demerara sugar to be exact.
Same strength but less bite.
And great review!!!

I love coffee & it's one of my favorite beverages to pair a cigar with. I've never really looked for it, so where might I find this Cuban Coffee you speak of?

It's not so much in the where but how it's made...
Traditional Cuban-style espresso is made by adding demerara sugar to the container into which the espresso will drip, allowing the espresso to mix with the sugar as it is brewed – compare Vietnamese coffee preparation. Some people believe that this results in a smooth, sweet espresso.
A method commonly used to prepare a café cubano is to initially add only the first few drops of espresso to the sugar and mix vigorously. This results in a creamy, light brown paste. The remaining espresso is then added to this paste and mixed, creating a light brown foam layer, or espumita, atop the coffee. A proper cafecito can be made using either an espresso machine or an Italian moka pot, macchinetta.
The heat from the coffee-making process will hydrolyze some of the sucrose, thereby creating a sweeter and different tasting result than adding sugar at the end.
