I've been rolling all kinds of cigar leaves from WLT, trying to find my favorite blends. One flavor I particularly enjoy is a tangy, coffee-like note that I often find in Cuban sticks - Cohiba Robusto is a great example.
Are there any commercial leaves that have this profile? Nicaraguan Habano Viso is in the right vein....

Are you talking the non-Cuban or the Cuban Cohibas? I've never had non-Cuban, but the closest I've come to a general Cuban flavor (I've only tried less than half of what WLT has to offer), is the Vuelta Abajo Habano Viso.

I'm referring to the Cuban Cohiba Robusto. I wasn't aware that WLT offered a Vuelta Abajo Viso... I have the seco, which is good, but a bit bland. I also have the ligero, but I haven't tried it yet... Perhaps I need to dig into it!

I like cohibas They are wonderful. Actually with Cuba now on the good side in relations we may be able to get some Cuban leaves. Still looking for a supply of real Canadian Virginia.

I wanted to say a big "thank you" to BigBonner, who sent me an unsolicited care package containing SIX different cigar fillers!

I immediately got to work and rolled 4 test cigars, each with a different filler...

I decided I couldn't wait for my test cigars to be smokable, so I made crude cigarillos of each filler to taste. Havana 901 did indeed have the sort of coffee flavor I had been looking for! In addition, I found that Broadleaf had a mashmallow and nuts profile that was simply delicious.
Thanks again to BigBonner!
