"Winter time smoke"

For me, Solo Cafe fits the bill at about 40 bucks for a 20 bundle of coronas. They compliment the coffee instead of the coffee and the cigar battling for your taste buds. Excellent smokes for the money with a good burn and the construction isn't what you would expect at this price range. Overall a great deal on a great, get you going morning cigar. less

First thing I did was pick up some on auction. I have smoked about 18 of them so far and only had one that had a hard draw. Wrapper stays intact, smoke is thick and smells great, adn it stays lit pretty well too. I smoke them with a mug of coffee -- a nice 30-45 minute morning break before the day begins. less

Unfortuneately, there is an artificial sweetener taste that I can't handle. Would be better if not sweetened at all. less

"Great Little Smoke, Very Pleased"

I've traditionally been attracted to robustos or anything beefier but have recently been drawn to try something with a smaller ring guage, which led me to these and a few others. Plus, two of my brothers-in-law come over on Sunday evenings now and they like something a little smaller and with a nice flavor or sweet aroma to it. That being said, I thought I'd give these a try. I'm very happy with this stick, to say the least. The bouquet before lighting is pretty nice, and the cigar looks great. Honestly, the construction is flawless, which leads to a perfect burn, the ash is pure white and solid until I tap it off. The draw is wonderful and there's tons of thick, creamy smoke, just like the description states. The smoke's aroma is very pleasant as well. All-in-all, in my book, it's a winner, and I'll definitely buy more when these are gone... great coffee companion for sure! Get some! less

I think it is funny how several people complain about how they burn, how the ash holds up, and also compares them to the Drew Estates Java. Lets see Java Robusto $130 per box Solo Cafe $46 a box you can't compare the two. Additionally for the people talking about burn and firmness of the ash there is way too many other variables to consider (where you smoked it, humidor conditions, etc..)
If you are looking for a good smoke for a good cost you can't beat the Solo Cafe's.

"Wafe Good but wish was more flavor"

In this case though they are flavored so I found them to be a lot less flavorful. I hope they continue to make this vitola but it would be nice to have more flavoring. I do like the fact that the sweet tip is almost gone by this point as I normally don't like that but I do enjoy the coffee like flavor and if it were a bit stronger It would be great. In this case I suppose its because of the age. So buy them up guys and gals cause the longer they sit the flavor dissipates. Also the wrapper color varies A Lot but that doesn't affect the smoke. This would be much better in maduro though. Over all I like these smokes and they are perfect for my 30 min commute to work they go great with coffee and the aroma it leaves in my truck isn't bad not like a stale tobacco smell but more coffee. Also I don't think I will try any other vitola and if they aren't making this one anymore then Ill have to deal. One more thing as a substitute for a Java I would choose this in a second over Isla Del Sol. (I don't know any other coffee cigars) less
