Solo Café Robusto is a coffee-infused premium cigar handmade with a well-rounded blend of Dominican tobaccos surrounded by a sweetened Indonesian wrapper. The smoke is mild, creamy, and relaxing with a great coffee aroma. If you want outstanding quality and flavor at a great price, go Solo!
Customer reviews for Solo Cafe Robusto:
"chewy, heady smoke, dramatically underpriced. "

Isn't it amazing how good a cigar can be when it is really pleasing and you only paid a buck fifty for it? Very well made, firm, medium, with a wonderful bouquet. Suggest you "steal" some for yourself. paul

""Wow" is an understatement! "
I have done a side-by-side comparison with th... moreI have done a side-by-side comparison with this cigar and Java, the Drew Estate/Rocky Patel collaboration. Aromatically, they are dopplegangers...They smell and taste almost exactly the same. Instead of a dark Brazilian wrapper like the Java, Drew has replaced it with a rich mexican wrapper that looks just as good in the quality dept., imparts its flavor beautifully, and burns very evenly. The mexican wrapper on the Solo Cafe is more of a caramel color, but goes head to head with Java in quality of wrapper. As I have found with most Drew cigars, they have an almost effortless draw which really enhances the pleasure for me. This cigar is a triumph in many respects, but I mostly applaud Drew for his resourcefulness in recreating that same $8 taste in a $2 budget cigar, without compromising quality. I almost didn't want to write this review, because I don't want to let this secret out but it's too good to keep to yourself. If you love Java's but hate the price, Dr. Joker has the remedy you need.......Solo Cafe. Take a bundle, and chuckle to yourself in satisfaction every time you light one up, knowing that out there somewhere, some poor slob just paid $8-$10 for the same stick you just stole from here. Excelsior!

I actually like these better. They have a slightly sweeter wrapper with excellent draw, soild contstruction and a nice clean burn. Not bad for $1.60 a smoke.

The burn has been good for the most part. A tad flaky on the ash, but pretty dense for the most part. Taste has been a dead ringer for Java. But I've had Javas that were rolled loose too. These are great, and you can bet I'll be buying more of these in the near future, and keeping the 'ol humidor stocked with these. Great shipping Famous, better than other "online/catalog" stores I have dealt with in the recent past. Two thumbs up.

Well I was thoroughly delighted in this great tasting smoke. The wrapper has a sweet taste to it that is quite enjoyable, it brings a nice dimension to the smoke. They also have a great aroma. I have tried three so far, the first had a terrible tunneling to it, but I could not put it down because the flavor was so great. The second one burned perfect. The third had a little tunneling problem too. Even with the problems in construction these have moved up into my top three favorite cigars based on the great taste. Note: I love reading the Famous Smoke customer reviews, however I kind of felt like a parasite, so I am writing my first review to become a contributor to this terrific forum.

"Not as good as the first ones "

Nice draw on the Robustos but the Coronas were a bit tight. The flavor and aromas these cigars had before went missing in action. Previously Drew Estate Java and Solo Cafe Cigars were comparable in taste. I couldn't tell the difference. Now its like night and day. I still have 40 - 50 of the older batch and I will smoke them SPARINGLY....
Still a good Cigar.

When they went off the market, I was devastated. Now that they are "back" I see they HAVE changed somewhat. Gone is the box press, but, now we have a good-tasting cigar with a firm ash [yay...no more unexpected ashes in the lap] as well as an even burn. OK, it's NOT as heavy on the chocolate and coffee flavors as the old ones, but the flavors are STILL there and it's STILL a good smoke. I'll STILL buy them, preferring the robusto as the "best buy". There is just nothing else on the market that can compare in price OR quality.

With that siad. This is a great cigar right out of the box in great Famous style. I say try it before you say no compared to what gigars you could end up with off some sites Famous will do you justice on the description on thier cigars. I lite recieved my order next day ground,and becauce of the hype I decieded to lite one up then and there. and the taste taste was great (5), construction (5) Burn even (5+) draw (5). Hey what I say is try a 5 pack and see for yourself, and if you don't like them I'll buy them from you.
