"Winter time smoke"
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.

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

"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!

"Amazing"
Bought a box of these after seeing the great reviews and was not disappointed. Amazing taste & aroma. Great burn and draw as well. Smoked it down to the nub until I nearly burned my lips. Will be a permanent part of my humidor from now on. Definitely worth a try.

"New SOLO CAFE is not worth it"
I loved ,past tense Solo Cafe. I don't know where this "new" Solo Cafe came from but do us all a favor and SEND THEM BACK. They used to be a delight to the taste buds. This new blend is not even close.

"Drink it or smoke it"
When I smoked my first one last week I knew I had fallen in love - the date code on these is from Feb 2006, so they are well aged and very smooth. The wrapper has a sweetness with an aromatic coffee flavor that is just right. Smoking them is a true delight and I have already ordered another bundle..... because once gone they are gone.

"Not Bad at All"
Just received my Solo Coronas. It is a smooth cigar with a nice draw. Not as tasty compared to the Java Mocha, it is pretty close, but not as good. I love the Java Mocha! The Solo Cafe is a good smoke.

"A great smoke for the money!"
A friend of mine introduced me to the Solo. I am a diehard fan of the Java`s but because of their price and availability I was always looking for a smoke that was similar in taste but a little more close to my budget.I am glad to say that for the price these cigars are a bargain.They are pretty close to the Java`s but burn a little less clean and have a very slight bitter after taste.The flavor is pretty damn close and the draw is wonderful.I will still keep the Java`s at the top of my list as my favorite smoke but these have moved ahead of my #2 smoke the Juicy Lucy.

"The Perfect Morning Smoke."
Before I found Solo Cafe, I'd been regularly purchasing Java by Drew Estate at three times the price. I really can't tell the difference between the two in both construction and taste. I'm already 5 smokes into my first bundle and I plan to order more soon. These little coronas are a perfect compliment to that morning cup of coffee. If you like the Javas and you don't want to go broke, Solo is the way to go.
