Hey everyone. I'm looking to buy/trade for coffee infused cigars. I'm a hardcore NOOB so I'm willing to pay/ship first. Lets make this happen. |

Just throw a handful of coffee beans in your humidor, turn those Dark Sharks into D.E. Java!  |

IMHO . . . JAVAs are the cream of the crop when it comes to 'coffee infused", but the "Isla del Sol" is almost as good, and can be had for half the price of the JAVAs.
Good luck, and welcome to the neighborhood, noob.

jes I'm not really into the infused cigars, but have burned through a 5er of the Isla del Sol, and I'd do it again....mild coffee flavor.......not overpowering.........tasty smoke |

Infused cigars?
I just don't like em.
I've tried several, and the coffee ones are the only ones I could even attempt to smoke.
Still, it always ends up like this:
For about 1 or 2 seconds on exhale, or retrohale, I somewhat like the coffee "flavor".
But then the invariably nasty finish and chemical aftertaste dominates the "experience".
Meh...

Every once in a while I like the coffee infused. Only the small quick ones though. Javas are good but way over priced. Nub espresso are pretty good but they're all really sweet at first till you chew through the sweetness they they get pretty earthy and good. Non coffee I like the makers mark cigarellos and my fiance likes the cap cherry bombs. |

Anyone wanting to trade??? I bought quite a few of the Nub Espresso and they are too sweet for my tastes. I put in a bunch of bids....and guess who won them!?! Ha. Let me know what you got!
Thanks! |

I smoked a great coffee infused cigar today. It was a Vegas Robaina Famosos that I smoked while I drinking a few cups of black Community Coffee Dark Roast. Absolutely no burnt sugar cube or chemical taste. IMHO, smoking an infused cigar is about the same as eating a well done choice steak covered with steak sauce. |

Well, ya have to do SOMETHING to make a "well done" steak taste good.  I want MY steak to MOO when I stick a fork in it. If it ain't blood red rare, I won't enjoy it. To each his own, I guess. |

To each his own, I guess. Funny you mention that. Many, many years who I was a Sous Chef in a restaurant owned by a fairly well know Cajun chef. One night his idiot brother came in and ordered a ribeye well done. So I cooked him a well done ribeye. He sent it back wanting some sauce for his "dry azz" hunk of meat. I'm like you, I like a nice char on the outside and cold & red on the inside. |

It got to the point where I would not order steak because I could NOT get the waitress to understand just how rare I wanted it. My usual shpeel went something like this . . . " And how would you like that cooked, sir ?" "I want it RARE, with a capital R. I want to see blood on my plate when I cut it. I mean, I want it to moo when I stick a fork in it. I want it charred on the outside and red, NOT PINK, on the inside. Tell the chef that if he can't cook it this way, then don't bother putting it on the grill, because I'm only gonna send it back. Okay ?"( This is where my wife would usually say . . ."Tell the chef to just hold it over a Bic lighter for 30 seconds per side." ) More times than not, I would have to send it back. Side note . . . My best friend invited my wife and I to a BBQ at his house a few years ago. He told me that he bought some Porterhouses from Omaha Steaks. He even mentioned that he paid $25 per steak. I have had OS steaks in the past and they are REALLY top notch, so naturally , I accepted his invitation. After about 30 minutes of chit chat, he fires up the grill and goes inside to get the steaks. When he comes out, he has 4 beautiful Porterhouses, about 10 - 12 inches in diameter. THEY WERE **** FROZEN ! We had a rather heated discussion about this, and I told him not to bother putting my or Sally's steak on the grill because we would not eat them as they would only be ruined, and I would hate to see such a beautiful piece of meat wasted. We wound up going home, (at HIS request), and cooking our own meal. |

FROZEN! Ay Dios Mios
If you ever travel to Enid, OK (Highly Unlikely) but the have the best steak house I've ever been to, its an open air bar called Chcaros very local spot. They only serve two things prime rib and Ribeyes and Ive seen people who were asked to leave if they ordered it anything over medium. Owner is an a** and if you piss him off he will ban you and its cash only but you can smoke a cigar and drink while you wait. I'm getting misty eyed just thinking about that place |

I like a medium rare ribeye, but I always order a rare ribeye and tell them I mean rare. Often it comes out medium and goes right back. It never comes out rare. |
