With Tobacco-Flavored Liquor, You Can Smoke While You Drink
November 14, 2013
This week was the announcement that a new brand from New Zealand was hitting the market in Florida: Stolen Coffee & Cigarettes Spiced Rum.
Stolen is "...infused fine Caribbean rum with natural roasted coffee beans and tobacco flavors, delivering a unique style of spiced rum."
This comes on the heels of Ivanabitch vodka's two flavors: "Ivanabitch Traditional Tobacco Vodka features a bold taste of smoky vanilla blended with sweet caramel. The Menthol Tobacco Vodka features the same taste as the Traditional Tobacco Vodka with a hint of mint."
One liqueur that's been on the market for a while (though I've never tried it) is Perique Tobacco Liqueur.
I'm not even sure it's still made, but maybe you can find all three and have a boozy tobacco tasting party.
I got the press release for the coffee-tobacco abomination. Is there a person on earth who would buy that? Is there any chance they did any market research before developing their product?
We know the answers to both of those questions, I think.

Honestly I find it intriguing for some reason. I wouldn't if it were flavored vodka, but because it's spiced rum I'd give it a try.

Perique is indeed still being made, and last I checked, is in stock at some online retailers. I don't believe it is currently distributed in the USA, so you may have to order it from abroad. And from what I hear (having never actually had it myself), it is marvelous.

Perique is still being made and currently distributed in Europe. It hasn't Gotten past the TTB yet. I tasted some with Ted Breaux himself back in August. It reminds me alot of black tea in some ways. Not smokey at all. Very natural.
