Coffee by Cigar Smokers for Cigar Smokers
By Jesse | September 19, 2008 |
So what do you get when cigar smokers set out to blend a coffee that compliments their cigars? Well you get one damn good cup of coffee that’s for sure. CP Coffee is the result.
I’m not nearly as versed in the coffee world as I am in the cigar world, but I know what tastes good and what doesn’t.
I tried this in all three ways I drink coffee, Cream & Sugar, Black and Iced. Typically I don’t like my coffee black, but I found I really enjoyed the CP Coffee black. Very smooth and clean finish. Didn’t have that really bad aftertaste some of the stronger coffees can have.
This coffee definitely is a great addition to any morning cigar ritual, but you don’t need to be a cigar smoker to enjoy dark roast full bodied coffee. It is also reasonably priced being a few bucks cheaper than some of the other gourmet coffees available on the Internet.

I won’t pretend to know cigars the way you do but I can speak a little to your coffee situation. First issue is that by coffee I think you mean American style as opposed to espresso. I recommend espresso.
With that as a base, I then suggest Lavazza Gold Selection.
But that’s just me …

Judging from the packaging the coffee’s going to be hot! ;)

I take it a bit far. For smoothness, I’ve found nothing beats buying my coffee beans green, roasting them myself, grinding them myself, and brewing them in the technivorm moccamaster. It has no equal.

Not that I have any desire to replicate your process, but where on earth do you get coffee beans “green”. You robbing Juan Valdez coming down the hill?
