The new version of these cigars isn't near as good as the old one ( a couple of months ago). The construction is still pretty good but the taste is completely different. The robusto is not even the same size. It used to be a 5x50 now it is 51/2 x 50. The new version has a nice looking band but they have ruined the cigar's flavor. I used to love them, but I won't be buying any more. less

As soon as I tried a corona the Solo Cafe became my favorite cigar. Then I tried the Toro and found that bigger is better.If the economy gets any worse I am sure there will be more than a few people who sleep under bridges that find my discarded stogies as a blessing,except without a ring they wont know what they are smoking. less

I only drink coffee during cold weather and I want a good morning cigar that I can have all winter long without breaking the bank. 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

came with a sampler's pack and this has to be my favorite. not to mention the best price/taste ratio. once you light it up right it will burn evenly til the end, i smoked this right out of the box without the proper humidor treatment and it wasn't dry and dull, excellent wrapping, would definitely buy again. less

I got three of these with a Java sampler, and liked these better than the Javas. When I compared prices, I was overjoyed. 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

Not exactly what I expected. These sticks look good, burn well enough and are firm. Prelight aroma is very pleasant with a mild coffee essence. Unfortuneately, there is an artificial sweetener taste that I can't handle. Would be better if not sweetened at all. less

I got some of these recently and shared them with a co-worker who enjoys cigars also. We were both impressed the the favor and smoothness. No bitter aftertaste at all. I have found nothing negative about these. All positives. less

A poor replacement for Kaluha. Tastes like it was dunked in a cup of strong coffee and left in the sun to dry. Terrible. less

"Great Little Smoke, Very Pleased"

I had no idea what to expect from this little guy. 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
