Java - Good or Just another Flavored Cigar?

[tx_tuff]

I don't care for coffee, I know I know but just don't. So I haven't have had one and don't see me smoking any in the furture for any reason. I know its made together with Drew Estate and RP so I'm sure its well made.

Yes, the Java is a fine cigar in both the maduro and "latte". They are my favorite a.m. cigar and, obviously, go great with a cup of coffee. The Tabak Especial aren't bad either, but they are a bit on the sweet side.

I like the Java and Kahlua cigars. I will occasionally smoke one, but I am finding the time is getting farther and farther in between. I'm not into infused/flavored cigars much anymore, but they are two of the best of those kind.

Am I the only one who like the Isla Del Sol by Drew Estate? It's coffee infused like the Tabak Especial but not as expensive. I am dying to try the Tabak and the Java but I haven't. I see them on CI all the time.

I tried a couple of the Isla Del Sol and was not impressed. I thought the Tabak and Java were much better. For my tastes:

Java > Tabak >> Isla Del Sol

I am not a huge fan of the java. Dont get me wrong though. Its not a shitty smoke but of the three I have had, they did not make enough of an impression for me to seek them out. I will smoke them if given to me though. They aren't a bad cigar. Just not fitting to my tastes. I have not been very fond of any infused or flavored cigar I have had actually. I find that funny because when I was a teenager I smoked a lot of swishers and dutchmasters thinking I was the shit! Or I used them to roll a blunt in my druggie years lol

I have a Java sitting in my humi now, I am just waiting for the right time to break it out. I haven't had one yet, but man it smells good. I am gonna have a nice strong cup of coffee when light that one up.

You might want to smoke it soon. I would not recommend keeping flavored smokes with regular smokes. It can/will lead to your other smokes having that same flavor.

I would recommend smoking the Java sooner rather then later. If you had a whole box then it would be a different story. Smoke it now so you can take full advantage of the flavor which if why you have it in the first place. Another reason is b/c you don't want to keep it with your non flavored smokes.

Thanks for the info, I thought about that, I kept it in the wrapper and put it in a baggie too. I plan on smoking it on my way over to the cigar heritage festival on the 15th. I want to stop in Tampa and get a cup of cuban coffee to enjoy with it.
