Slider, Had one today, a El Mejor Espresso Torpedo...mediocore at best. Picked up a 5-pack from cigarbid for $9.
They describe it as: "a coal-black, box-pressed beauty that’s coated with a luxurious Mexican maduro wrapper leaf. Oily, shiny, thick and juicy, this gorgeous leaf has it all, and offers a wonderfully rich, creamy flavor and slow-burn. The robust blend of Honduran long-leaf tobaccos complement this dark wrapper nicely, promoting subtle hints of cocoa and an undeniable, toasty hint of coffee. Deliciously complex, medium-bodied and smooth to the nub, El Mejor (“The Great One”) Espresso is a winner from A to B. "
A pretty stogie, semi-box pressed, dark and solid/firm. Draw was nice and easy but the flavor and aroma was not to my liking. Medium to full bodied, a strong charcoal like flavor/aroma, hints of leather and cedar with a medium bitter aftertaste. But what do you want for less than two bucks? YMMV - Loco

You know.....I don't think I have ever tried Cuban coffee before. I should make a trip to Florida someday and try it out at some ma or pa shop place.
When I'm feeling really rough, I drink a triple shot iced latte in a 12oz cup with some splenda.
Normally I drink about a double when I get enough rest. I do love coffee tasting cigars.....especially when it has a hint of chocolate.
We "Azteca" types enjoy chocolate very much. haha!

I had a condo in St-Pete for a while, and I used to bring my expresso blend from Montreal cause I couldn't find anything that compared. However, more recently, I found that they sold the Illy brand from Italy at Publix. The dark roast is sublime. I bought authentic Cuban coffee a couple of weeks ago at LCDH, very good, very earthy, but less chocolaty than the Italian expresso.

That or the employees don't limit the air contact that is made with the espresso/coffee. The coffee product is very similar to cigars. Air is coffee's worst enemy.
Here it is 9:45 pm, and the talk of espresso is making me want some at this late hour. This is ridiculous. I think I need to attend some sort of anonymous group. lol.
