"Not worth it unless you get it for free."
Not sure why so many people compare this to the Java,and I love the Java and Tabak. The Solo Cafe is not even remotely close in flavor and I can't even taste the supposed coffee infused flavor. Cheap smoke, even cheaper taste.

"Not Half Bad"
Being a second time smoker after a bad first experience with some cheap nicaraguans, i wanted to get some flavor in my smokes. I was slightly dissapointed by these but not by much. Smooth and slightly flavorful.

"Lit cherry...no smoke"
Just recieved my order from FSS and thought I'd try the Solo Cafe first since I was not at all familiar with it..Very nice aroma befor lighting,good flavor after toasting foot.A third of the way down I found myself "hotboxing" to try to draw a mouthful of smoke.Checked to see if it had gone out but no,nice big cherry burning.Gave it a squeeze and found it was loosely rolled.Too bad I only had one in the fusion of flavors sampler to judge it by.Maybe it was a fluke.Except for not being able to take a good draw...it was tasty.

"nasty"
This cigar was not good. I could have smoked lawn trimmings and saved a few bucks!!

"not for me"
you know I was going to write a lengthy review on how disappointed I was in this cigar, well just a few words .
This cigar has a low end taste, the burn is sometimes even. I let them sit in my humidor for about 15 days. I thought time might make the smoke better. Time might make these better if you had a time machine and went back in time before cigars were made and no one new any better. Seriously ,it might have made a difference if i wouldn't have smoked a Java maduro by drew estates first.

"Too mild"
I liked this one the least because it was way to weak. You can inhale a full hit and not even cough the taste was great just not a strong tobacco.

"Not the same cigar as 2 months ago"
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.

"excellent burn, plenty of flavor"
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.

"Fine cigar"
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.

"Not For Me"
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.
