Olivieros Kopi Luwak

It's been a few weeks since I smoked this cigar, but I might as well use it to get my toes wet in reviewing a cigar; that, and it doesn't seem that anyone else has reviewed this stick on this site. I apologize in advance for the lack of pictures.

Let's see, where to being... it was a cute little cigar that boasted to be infused with Kopi Luwak, the world's most expensive (and arguably the most repulsive) coffee. The wrapper smelled fresh and sweet, but not a lot like coffee. Probably not a good sign for a $5 infused cigar.

Clipped the cigar, and the draw was smooth. The wrapper tasted sweet. Lit it up, and ... well, there was smoke. It produced a good bit of smoke, and that's about it. There was no flavor to the cigar itself; the tobacco lent nothing. All that was there was this chemical sweetness and bitterness. Perhaps there was a hint of coffee somewhere in the vapor, but it was hard to detect.

The cigar stayed rather consistent through the first half. That's about when I got tired of it (and when I decided to relent to TanithT's bugging of me to throw it out and light up a respectable stick).

In summary: A cute stick to look at, but it was all smoke and chemical mirrors. Recommend to pass this one over.
