This was the first flavor-infused cigar I had tried. I was leery after reading some very divided opinions on the internet - some people love infused cigars, some people hate them. Count me with the former.
The Tatiana Mocha (Caramely: 6.0" x 50) is, first and foremost, a good looking cigar, with a beautiful, dark Sumatran wrapper. Unlit, it smells, tastes and looks a lot like a Tootsie Roll. Light it up, and it's still very chocolaty, but now there's a smoky, rich coffee in there as well. I was a little worried that the sweetness would become cloying after a while, but it didn't. The flavor stayed consistent and smooth. It burned coolly and evenly, and left a firm, gray ash and lots of sweet-smelling smoke. I enjoyed a couple of glasses of a nice, sweet port wine while I smoked this, and the two combined into a very interesting, adult maraschino cherry kind of thing. Not something I would smoke every day, but delicious and a great choice for when I'm feeling like something a little different.
