Review Notes: It took me a few months to finally get my hand on some of these and boy was it a disappointment. The presentation of the cigar is gorgeous though. It has a great dark wrapper, great band, and the cigar smells delicious. The shape is very unique but was awkward to smoke on the downside. I hate to say this because it is a really harsh statement but it just kept reminding me of smoking a swisher sweet. A very expensive swisher sweet. Its very sweet, with hints of coffee but thats about it. Everyone I smoked had an uneven burn but the ash was fairly solid considering the bizarre shape. I am glad I tried a Java but I am not excited to smoke one again. To put this review in perspective though I want to say that I am not a big fan of super sweet cigars (flavored etc). Is this a poor cigar, not necessarily. It is according to my taste though. All things said, TRY IT for yourself. I could have gotten mine out of a bad box etc etc and as much as I have bashed it, I will try some again later down the line to review it again and try and give Drew Estates and Patel's creation one more chance to woo me.
