Or the Flying Pig by Drew Estate, but that is REALLY oily and whatever you do, do NOT get the smoke in your eyes. A friend did that accidentally and his eye was red for three days.

I haven't yet tried the Java, but have heard that since that is made for Rocky Patel, Drew Estate's equivalent is the Tabak Especial. Which I had tried and it is pretty good. If you really want the coffee flavor to shine through get the lighter one, it's coffee flavor is less overpowered by the tobacco. Also, if you like the Java, check out the Isla Del Sol, another coffee infused one by Drew Estate.

I was at a smoke place not too far back and one of those Casa Magna Oscuros and I loved it. Now I just need to find them cheap online to put in my humidor...

Sat down the other night and gave the Tabak Especial a try and I have to say it was not too shabby. I was actually after the darker wrapper but all I could turn up was the lighter. Starts out very sweet but mellows out nicely. Still want to give the darker version a try and they make a dual wrapper version(darker cap, lighter for the rest) that might be worth a shot. Next in line is a CAO Gold Maduro, I've got high hopes for this one, if it's good it will be hard to beat for the price. CAO's MX2 is one of my favorite smokes and at an awesome price IMHO so lets hope the Gold follows suit.

Hello fellow smokers! New guy here. I smoke tons of Tatuaje, Illusione, Pepin, and Oliva V's. A few Cubans as well, but I'm just starting down that path. I like full bodied and strong cigars so few Cubans have lit my fire, so to speak. I am active on many cigar forums and always tracking down hard to find and limited cigars when I can. Looking forward to chatting everyone up!

Im into padron, partagas black label, CUBAN cohibas (dominicans I dont care for) and edge by rocky patel are what Im stockin up on.

You know how I know my Cubans are real??? It's because I bought them in Cuba...this is one perk being Canadian...There still expensive in Cuba though... If you visit a cigar factory on a tour, some of the rollers will pull you aside and sell you them for dirt cheap, no band, box or cellophane but are the real thing. If you buy them on a beach there fake!!! but your buying them in Cuba anyways so the fakes are actually real Cubans…(box of Cohibas)..Not bad too!

It is both stupid and sad the American's citizens cannot visit Cuba. I insure complete quality in my Cuban cigars by only purchasing from licensed LCDH Stores or vendors with English Market Selection distribution.
