Solo Café Toro 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!

Almost like going to Starbucks.

I love quite a few of Drew Estates Cigars and I have even tried the Java. It makes for a great second hand cigar, for I could not even tell the difference. My only fear is that the word will get out and they will be harder to come by...Wait did I just say all of that out loud?...Damn it! Ummmm, Don't buy this cigar....uuuuhhhh...It stinks! Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket...Enjoy!

Great Taste, Terrible Burn

The only drawback to this lower-priced Java alternative is the Sole Cafe Toros's terrible burn. Picked up a bundle of 20 on auction; found that 3 out of 5 canoe, run, tunnel and otherwise burn so badly you need a pair of cigar sissors at hand to keep trimming the things to a smokeable condition. 2 out of 5 will burn just fine. The flavor and taste is wonderful and the draw is fine however, so guess the bad burn is a decent tradeoff for the price. Will buy more, am sharpening cigar sissors. Sole Cafe, get the burn problem solved and you will have a winner here.

An American Tragedy
I understand that this line will no longer be... moreI understand that this line will no longer be offered by Famous-Smoke. I was fortunate to get the last bundle of toros as well as the remaining single coronas, but I mourn the passing of a really fine, affordable Drew Estate substitute for its Drew Estate cousin, the Java. Good, box-pressed coffee-flavored cigars like the the Java, and especially the smaller Solo Cafe with its box press, too, are very hard to come by. Its mild-medium flavor and nice ash make it appealing to common guys like me to enjoy without breaking the piggybank. So what if one occasionally canoes or tunnels...hold it correctly and it will not. I can honestly say that during the run of the Solo Cafe, I never had to pitch one prematurely due to its imperfections. That's why, to me, the discontinuing of this cigar is an American tragedy.

NOT like a Java
Ever since Java by Drew Estate vanished, I ha... moreEver since Java by Drew Estate vanished, I have been anxious to find something similar. I had heard that the Solo Café could be a comparable replacement. Come to find out the Solo Café line was also sold out when I initially went to buy. I was excited to see that Solo Café came back recently for my chance to compare to the Java. Huge disappointment. I have no idea what the ?old? blend for Solo Café? was like, but this newer blend is terrible. The sweet tip has a nutrasweet after taste. It was like I was smoking a diet Coke. The burn and draw were okay, aside from that it was barely at the level of a ?cigar? you would buy at a corner convenient store.

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.
