Today is review day, where we will see how a little more fru-fru-ee cigar burns- the
Drew Estate Java Toro Maduro
The Java line from Drew Estate is the collective work of two guys: Jonathan Drew as well as Rocky Patel. That’s why we list the cigars under the Rocky Patel line on our website. The line is not one meant to blow smokers over, as it is meant to provide more of a soothing experience with the infused coffee-themed flavors. Besides its Maduro edition, the Java line also comes in a Latte edition, which has an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. They all look very good.
The Drew Estate Java Toro Maduro measures 6 x 50. It also comes in other sizes as well: the 5×42 Corona, the 5×46 Wafe, the 5×58 The 58 Super Toro, and the 5 1/2×50 Robusto. The Toro is composed of a Nicaraguan filler as well as a Nicaraguan binder. Topping it all off is a nice Brazilian Maduro wrapper. The Java Toro is a smoother cigar considered to be medium-bodied, which I agreed with.
Undoubtedly, the first thing most will notice when looking at the Java Toro is its box-pressed shape that gives it rigid, close to perfect square corners. The construction of the cigar is superb. A bit of oil is noticeable on the dark wrapper, which is nice. There are also some large veins present. A decorative band near the head of the cigar displays the Drew Estate Java name. There is also a band near the foot that says Maduro in a large gold font. Both bands are a rich chocolate color accented with gold that are almost camouflaged by the cigar’s dark wrapper. The cigar has a cold taste similar to hot chocolate. The scent given off is similar. Squeezing the Java Toro, I can tell that the cigar is on the softer side and not tightly packed.
Once in action, the Java Toro Maduro burns like a charm. No touching up or re-lighting is necessary as the burn is even throughout. A light-colored long ash is produced, and the draw is good too.
The flavors within the Drew Estate Java Toro are pleasant. The dominant taste is that of cocoa, which seems to be present from beginning to end. You will also get some notes of coffee. A chocolate mocha-like flavor is also noticeable. The flavors are simple, yet enjoyable. It’s definitely a medium-bodied cigar that would go good with a cup of coffee while you are reading your newspaper.
While the Drew Estate Java Toro Maduro may not be a cigar that wows you, it is definitely a solid smoke. The construction is pretty much flawless. The flavors are somewhat monotone, but coffee lovers may really enjoy it. I am one and I really enjoy this cigars from time to time. It is smooth enough for beginning smokers too. I am not sure I would recommend it to those who love cigars with some kick to them, as it may be a little underwhelming. Also, if you are one who prefers to have several different flavors within a cigar, you might want to give this one a pass, as it may grow old too soon. The Java Toro Maduro is a bit on the expensive side, with a single going for around $7.50 each. It is also available in boxes of 24. Even if the price is too high to spring for a box, you might want to pick one up at our shop to give it a try sometime!
If you are looking for some chew instead of the Java, then I’d look at the Grizzly Tobacco site. Have a good day!
