This box-pressed Nicaraguan puro comes rocking a 50 ring gauge and 5.5" length, packing enough coffee kick to jumpstart your morning. At under $10/stick in 24-count boxes, Java Maduro offers decent value for infused cigar enthusiasts. The Brazilian Maduro wrapper looks like it's been dipped in espresso - dark, oily, and begging to be lit.
Cold draw serves sweetened cold brew coffee. Initial light reveals charred oak and baking spices - think cinnamon-dusted espresso beans. Smoke output stays moderate, perfect for indoor smoking.
Cocoa powder joins the party with roasted almond undertones. Burn line stays razor-sharp without touch-ups. Watch for slight tar buildup near the cap if you puff too aggressively.
Dark chocolate bitterness emerges, balanced by lingering brown sugar sweetness. Strength creeps up to medium-full territory. Ditch it before the last inch unless you enjoy nicotine sweats.
Rolled at Drew Estate's Nicaraguan mega-factory La Gran Fabrica. The Maduro wrapper undergoes double fermentation - first natural aging, then pressure-cured to develop that signature oily sheen. Uses aged Ligero leaves for intensified flavor without harshness.
