Tabak Especial is Drew Estate's coffee infused line, and one of the cigars that built the company's reputation for doing things nobody else was doing. Nicaraguan tobacco is infused with coffee during production rather than flavoured afterwards, which keeps the tobacco character intact underneath. It has become the benchmark for the category.
