These exceeded my expectations, I was expecting a light coffee flavor, instead I was surprised with a Drew Estate Blondie flavor, these are my new go too cigars and price is great! The sampler comes with different gauge cigars, and i found out the smaller gauge cigars do not suit me, i find them difficult to smoke. The larger gauge cigars to me are a dream, they light up easy and smoke so smoothly, and smell great. I am getting the petite torpedo or the toros next.

Everyday smoker and these where enjoyable flavor. The smaller ones where a hard draw but rolled them in my fingers a little bit and they loosened up. Box is a really cool design also.

I enjoy smoking on special occasions

won't buy these again

Good for an every day smoke out on the porch

I smoke two cigars everyday I really only like the Nitro

Not bad. Would have liked more flavor though.

Love the flavor of this cigar. I'd recommend it.

will not stay lite. draw too hard

The java infusion adds a little spice to the flavor. Highly recommend trying these. Had a great time golfing with friends and family smoking these as we played. A very enjoyable smoking session. The sampler pack was perfect because you can give everyone the size they prefer.

Even though I got some enjoyment I would spend a little more money and get a better cigar

great taste

I asked the rep (Marquis) who was confident that I would get a taste very similar to ACID cigars or even the Javas, but he was wrong. I don't want to say he lied, but their goal is to sell their products, particularly their line, but to tell a customer that you can expect one thing and discover something different is, well a lie. Perhaps he doesn't really smoke cigars and it's best to be honest, that you have never smoked them and or don't. I won't recommend them based on that and or buy from TC again.

Very tasty cigar for the price. Would recommend to anyone who like Acids.

None

I got these on an email special, and the price was right for the pack. When I first got them, they looked great. Construction seemed good and the wrappers were clear. However, the java infusion was missing completely from the palate. The smaller sizes were enjoyable still, but as I ran my way up in size, the flavor got worse and worse with many of them being un-smokable. Seems the larger they made them, the more bitter and acidic the flavor became. My friends who I gave the larger cigars to, too found them to be unpleasant. I would not recomend

I bought these when they first hit market a few years ago. Those were un smokable out of the box. After letting them sit for a year in their own humidor they transformed into a smoke that would smoke. But Kuba Kuba they are not. It seems the infusion process is done once they are rolled, only to the whole cigar not to the components. That said they are just a Flor de Philippine type with a hint of sandalwood on the pre light. Disappointed again with purchase, gave one to a woman who will buy a single acid once a month, she lit, took one draw and threw away. So now I have to smoke them all, which I will in a couple years time. Promising concept but they failed to come close.

Great product and price, even burn, excellent draw, I liked an expresso with this, I would buy them again.

they stink and r no good

Thought I would give it a try and will never buy it again. it tasted like dirt to me.

Spend the extra $$s and buy the Isla del Sol.

very good sampler with a few issues with firm draw on the larger ones

was very dissapointed they smelled great but had no taste,,some were very hard to get a draw thru

I'm glad I got the sample pack. The small ones are good, but the bigger ones start out fine then tend to go out

Based on the term "Java" being used in the name of this product, I expected something more like a Tabak Especial, Isla del Sol, or Java by Drew Estate. What I received is obviously aspring to the same type of herbal/clove infusion found in the Acid line. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the advertising should be more clear to reflect this. I bought this sampler to try the Nitro line before diving into a full box or "2-FER". I'll come out and say first that the smaller sizes (especially the Slim Panetela) are not worth the leaf they're rolled in. They are extremely tight to draw, overly moist, and spongy. Even with the tight draw they burn hot and harsh. The infusion is there, but completely overwhelmed by the heat and harshness they develope. Neither the Half Corona or Panatela should be considered anywhere near equal footing with something like the Acid Blondie. The larget sizes all fare better. They also have a firm draw, but nowhere near as tight as the smaller sizes. They can also be loosened up a bit with a draw tool. They burn much cooler and the infused nature isn't overwhelmed by heat or harshness, at least not until you get towards the last 1". These come across as a "Acid Kuba Kuba Lite"... very similar, but not quite as strong of an infusion, not quite as sweet of a tip, and not quite as smooth of an overall profile. All-in-all they are a good cheap infused smoke for those who enjoy most of the Acid line but balk at the price. I would highly recommend anyone considering the sampler to skip it and go with a box of any of the bigger ring gauges or, if you're looking to sample and compare, pick up the "Drew Estate vs. the World" sampler.

I so hoped this would be a lower-priced equivalent of Acids - not even close. I'm so sorry.

I usually smoke Acid's and was told that these were comparable. Very very true. An excellent cigar for less than half the cost

The thing I found so great about this sampler was when I hit the end of the first third of the half corona and my mouth filled with a magiical fussion of smoke and oils, it was almost spiritual.

Perfect Cigar When Seeking A Change Of Pace At An Attractive Price! Great Alternative To Higher Price Infused Cigars.

Used to relax after work ,great flavor,construction could be better

Your NITRO was a very try yours and I'd another another box now. Thanks again!

Not bad for the price as an everyday smoke. Stick to the shorter lengths for a better, more consistent draw. My last box was hit or miss for draw, with some that exhausted me just trying to finish the stick.

This smells like a great infused cigar and some even get a hint of flavor but most come out as bland and nowhere in the Drew Estate sport, let alone league. Save the dissapointment and go with the real deal.

Not a recommended product sorry, just not Java competition or Tabak

I gave these to some new HS grads for their party,and they were enjoyed by all.

I was very disappointed in this product. The flavor is not consistant. If they would taste like they smell it would be a good cigar. I have smoked Acids as these are suggested to be similar to. Not even close. I did not expect them to be as good as an Acid, but not this far off. The burn in the larger sizes was inconsistant. I will not purchase these again.

I prefer to use as an early morning smoke as the mild infused flavors are clean on yhe palate. Good construction and draw. Pretty nice ash for an inexpensive smoke. The sampler box is great as you can experience all the sizes.

There was no taste/flavor/infusion what so ever, I'll stick with my Blondies and Isla del sols.

awesome every day smoke

Great Acid like cigar.

i haven't tried all of the cigars yet but the quality be between the ones i did was not consistent. the cigarillos were bound so to you could barely draw on them but then the Churchills smoke quite well. but i picked them up for [$].

Absolutely an awesome cigar. I love kuba kubas, and I'd rather smoke these. They are great and slightly less sweet which combines to make an awesome low cost cigar. On my second box now and getting ready to buy a 3rd.

great every day smoke good taste nice draw inconsistant wrapper

Not worth it

This was an alright priced purchased, but the length of time was unexceptionable. Secondly, the product quality was not what I was expecting.

They fell apart constantly went out too hard to draw, headache No Nitro

At first light I knew that I would love this cigar. At has a great aroma. The taste is spicy but sweet as well. Nice firm ash and creamy smoke. burned evenly all the way to the nub. And the price -- well lets just say that this deal was a steal. I have tried many Acid cigars. This cigar is a very decent alternative for an alternative smoke.

I'm glad I gave this smoke a try. A nice specialty to spice up your life.

These have a nice flavor and nice price. I will keep these in my rotation...

Comes in a nice gift package,great for fun night of smoking

I'm a big fan of Acid cigars, so when I saw these I thought I'd give them a shot. They are constructed well and I didn't have any problems with the wrappers coming apart at all. They were easy enough to light, but smoking them was difficult. All had a hard draw to them, and none really came close to the flavor of Acid cigars. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Acid cigars these didn't meet my expectations. The price wasn't bad for the sampler though.

Trying to nudge in of Drew Estates "Infused" Cigars seemed like a worthy goal and these Nitro's do a good job of it. A comprable smoke at a fraction of the price.

Leaves a pleasant smell behind not a strong one like other cigars may leave. The Taste was surprising in a nice way subtle and interesting. All the cigars are easy to light inside or outside. Draw and smoke right away no matter the size, small or large! A nice selection of good smoking cigars for a reasonable price!

it was a nice smoke well worth the money

I gave this sampler to my son who likes Acid cigars. He and I smoked the first two out of the box, and I was surprised at the nice flavor and ease of smoking the Nitro. I guess I expected a stick of wimpy tobacco that tried to cover up with artificial-tasting flavorings. The smoke was full and mellow, and tasty!

Easy smoke

I indulge about four to five times a day , and I enjoyed the low cost of this brand compared to my favorite. The draw was inconsistant and the flavors and sweetness must improve to enter into my regular cycle of smokes. That being said , with the improvements I mentioned , it will be an enjoyable brand that one can enjoy without breaking the bank.

Nice nice flavor! Not quite Acids, but very good for a fishin' trip or soak in the hot tub.

I almost sent them back, but gave them to the golf guys at happy hour.

Was expecting a cigar similar to ACID as they were advertising as was very disappointed. Get what you pay for.

This Nitro company needs to go back to the drawing board. I wouldn't even give these a 1 star rating, I wish the rating system went into the minus stars. I gave them as a present and was told he threw them away. Burned hot, down the side and tasted horrible. The worst cigar ever. They should be arrested for bilking the public. These cigars should be banned and the company should close shop. Please stop selling theses to the unknowing public....

Tastes Great !!!

These were advertised as an Acid-Like smoke. I found this to be totally over-stated. There was a hint of "Acid", but not much more. Coupled with the fact that the first small cigar, a petite, had virtually no draw, & a second was the same, I tried a larger size & still found the draw not up to par. I sent them back. [...]

A nice change of taste, but not even close to an Acid

I liked the flavor, but it can be somewhat overwhelming at first draw...

Touted To be an equal to ACID, falls a bit short in that category. If you like ACID and can't afford the freight, you will find these an acceptable and less costly alternative, most have had a good draw, but a few were tight,construction was good and they burn evenly, when you get close to the roach, they do tend to get a bit bitter
