Newbie: Drew Esate Java Review

So as everyone can tell, I am rather new to the world of cigars. I am slightly paranoid about writing my first review, as I feel that my taste is far from developed, however, I love the forum... and very much want to be a contributing member.

I picked up the Java Maduro the other day after reading some reviews, and thinking it might be nice to try.

When I first got this very nice, square cigar home, I did notice that is smelled like a fresh brownie.

The pre-light draw was perfect, and the tast was very cocoa flavored.

This cigar was easy to light, and the first draw was almost pure chocolate, with tobacco undertones. The burn was perfect, razor sharp for the whole length of the stogie.

I do wonder if the chocolate flavor is in the blend, or mostly the sweetnened tip?
After the fist few puffs, the chocolate flavor seemed to subside slightly, and I got more of a tobacco flavoring.

Overall, except for the initial change, the flavor stayed the same the whole way through. Nice, creamy smoke and overall very pleasent...

Althought this will never be an "everyday" smoke for me... I will pick up a few more to have on hand for the rare occasions when I want a flavored cigar.

Please forgive the shortcommings of this review as it is my first, however I hope it was helpful to someone.

Didn't see any at all. I appreciate this review big time, as I will be picking one up for my date Friday night in Boston at a place that sells these. I will quote your review in order to really "sell it" it to her.

Much appreciated!!

Re: Newbie: Drew Esate Java

You don't need to write a full novel on the cigar to make a good review so long as you cover some basic points on it, and you did great. Only thing you may want to add in the future is which particular vitola from that line of cigars (if you have the info). Otherwise great review!

Re: Newbie: Drew Esate Java

Great job and not a bad smoke either
