Well, we all know cigars absorb aromas. And my wife and I are coffee (grocery store variety) drinkers. And, I emptied the plastic 1 gallon Folgers plastic can....so of course the first thing that came to mind was...will cigars absorb coffee aroma?
I selected 3 Flor de Oliva Corojos, a couple of water pillows, and put them in the empty coffee can. The can still has ground coffee remains and makes an airtight seal. Then, I set it on my desk for 2 weeks.
I smoked the first one Wednesday. Now, I am not a super fan of the Oliva Corojo (I LOVE the Grand Cameroons and the regular Flor de Olivas) I find them kinda harsh in the taste of the smoke. So, after 2 weeks in the can, this stick seems to have really mellowed out. The harshness of the smoke wasn't there, was more enjoyable.
Did it taste like coffee? Nope. Smell like coffee or hints of coffee in the aroma? Nope.
I'm gonna wait a month for the next one, and then 6 for the last stick, and see what turns up.
