Review Notes:
This is very good for a flavored cigar, which I tend to stay away from. It was extremely sugary, but the flavor was nice. Im glad I tried it, however, Im not exactly sure I will be smoking another anytime soon.

Review Notes:
These are one of the few flavored cigars that I really enjoy. When I first got into cigars I really enjoyed Drew Estate's Acid lines, but with time I gravitated more towards traditional cigars. Most Acids disgust me now, but I have to say that Drew Estate really hit the mark with Java. The flavoring is much more subtle than Acid, it is not overpowering. Coffee flavor just goes so well with a cigar, they are a perfect match. Expect only the best in flavor and construction in these, they may be flavored, but they are a world class smoke. They are a nice break from the ordinary for the seasoned smoker, or a perfect cigar for friends who don't normally smoke.

Review Notes:
This just didn't cut it for me. I know it is flavored, and I expected that. The cigar burned poorly, and really was one dimensional. I expect the added flavor to compliment the cigar, not overpower it.

Review Notes:
I enjoyed the stick I smoked today; however, I had the urge to dip it in milk. :)
A nice change of pace. I found it to be a well made cigar, with an even burn, copious draw, and more than a hint of chocolate and coffee.
Certainly a conversation piece and perhaps a nice desert treat, but not an everyday smoke. Just far too much cocoa pops flavor. Please smoking the big square grew tiresome.

Review Notes:
So I was looking through my humidor trying to select a smoke for my nightly stroll around the neighborhood. I wasn't really in the mood for a "traditional" stogie as the REO I smoked earlier today had been a serious let down. As I dug down towards the bottom I came across a hidden gem that had been all but forgotten. I had purchased this nearly three months ago with the intention of smoking it that afternoon but alas, never did. I slid off the cello and savored the chocolate aroma emitting from it. A nice looking stick I must say. Big, thick ring gauge with a rounded box press. The wrapper was silky on the fingers with virtually zero veins. The cap however was hideous, like the roller had tried to get a circle cap to fit onto the cigar after it had been pressed. Just to test it out I gave it a 7mm punch and much to my surprise it cut very easily that way. Took a pre-light draw and my God, the flavor. Exactly like a candy bar. By now I was quite ready to get my walk started and this cigar lit up.
I stepped out the front door and toasted the foot nice and slowly. Opening flavor was of rich chocolate and cocoa as was the aroma. After that it changed to a flavor that, to me anyways, closely resembled the Acid Def Sea. Sort of a floral taste with some spice. Around 1/3 of the way through the chocolate and cocoa flavors returned and it picked up some body that intensified until the end of the smoke. Burn was ok, needed some corrections here and there but wasn't a nuisance. Draw was perfect. I know this is a flavored cigar and that term alone is enough to make some smokers turn their noses up but it actually has quality tobacco that blends very well with the chocolate flavoring inside. Nothing like a cherry or amaretto smoke where the flavor is there to simply mask crap tobacco. Overall, I really enjoyed this cigar. Definitely not an everyday kind of smoke but definitely something I will enjoy again when the mood catches me. Just my two cents
