Jonathan Drew spent several years perfecting a coffee infused cigar.  I am not one to smoke very many flavored cigars, but this is really in a different class.  I like to drink coffee while smoking, so it was about time I tried one of these.  The one I decided on was the Java Latte.  The tobacco and the coffee, all from Nicaragua of course (wrapper , filler , binder , a true Nacaraguan puro). The Java Latte I smoked is a 5” x 42 ring gauge claro corona size cigar.

I don't know how the infusion is done, but this is a real cigar and not at all in the same class as other 'flavored' cigars.

This is a box pressed cigar.  It lights easily and draws easily.  The burn is with a moderate amount of smoke. The wrapper is a firm natural color and the cigar is very well constructed and required no relighting. The flavors in this cigar are great rich coffees.  What else?  Well, it is a coffee infused cigar and it works perfectly.  I drank a nice dark roast coffee with the cigar, and it was nothing short of a great smoke.  The aroma is also coffee, but with that nice smell you get when roasting coffee.  If you have never roasted coffee, this is you chance to experience that aroma.  The cigar is mild, flavorful and very enjoyable, especially in the morning. It is a good choice when you might want a milder cigar to start the day.  You are getting more of a coffee flavor from this cigar because of the infusion and I was impressed.

In Albuquerque, a single stick is selling for around $6.00.

I did check online and found single sticks for $4.35 and boxes selling for as low as $98.00. If you are searching for them, you might try looking for Rocky Patel Java, it is the same cigar. I really liked this cigar and would not classify it as a normal ‘flavored’ cigar, it is in a class by itself. This is a good long leaf cigar with a great coffee flavor, and I plan to keep these in one of my humidors  as my morning cigar with coffee.
