Cigars with hint of espresso/coffee/chocolate?

What cigars have hints of coffee or espresso and chocolate flavor? I'm not talking about something over powering or anything, just the pleasant hint of taste along with other tastes. I think this is the kind I'm craving to smoke. I watched smokinghotcigarchick and she was talking about a La Riqueza cigar and it really got me to wanting one like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=GjExbFPTsZs Any other suggestions?

    La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte (LHCOF) kind of matches this, also Nestor Miranda 1989 Oscuro, ccom Brazilian Label and CAO Mx2 these are ones that I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise you could go the infused route.

    the liga Privada no.9 is pretty good for that. with a year or two of age on it the coffee notes really come out.

    +1 on the Cafe con Leche, great smoke. Kelly turned me on to the Java and the Isla del Sol, both are great smokes and a little less pricey than the con Leche.

    Ironically, I am the one who likes the infused cigars and my wife can't stand them. She likes the medium to full cigars. Do I have to turn in my Man Card?

    Graycliff double espresso, pricy so wait for them to go on sale ( this isn't a bad deal if you want the case http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewCigar.asp?prod=SP-GDBMISC2 ). The diesel unholy cocktail is also a very nice smoke.

    just thought of another one that i liked when i was first getting into cigars:
    El Mejor Espresso
    not infused, but has tons of coffee notes.

    For chocolate I found Patel Bros and San Lotano Maduro to both have a decent amount of chocolate flavor. I'm not sure I'd trust my palette though...get a second opinion, lol

    Thunder by Nimish is what comes to mind for me.

    I think the Nica Libre had a chocolate flavor, but I need a second on that

    Perdomo Habano Maduro has excellent dark chocolate undertones.

    Try out the Oliva G Maduro, Padilla Cazadores, and Gurkha Black Dragon. I'm sure you'll like them.

    um........................yes...........I'm afraid so
    you'll have to smoke a Punisher and a JdN El Martillo....back to back............to get your card back
    Can't just say you did it...........we want photos..........and don't try to let the wife smoke them for you!

    Try an Oliveros King Havano Oscuro. Sweet, coffee, some espresso and chocolate and very affordable in a medium body.

    I'll second Nica Libre for the hints of coffee and chocolate. I love Isla Del Sol and Tabak but I would consider them more than just hints.....but I've only been smoking for seriously for about 4 months. Smoked a box of Isla Del Sols, about 10 Tabaks and half a dozen Nica Libre's. Try them all!

    +1 on the Black Dragon. I got a ton of chocolate flavor in the last one I had.

    I like the Nica Libre but really like the flavor of Acid Opulence 3. I've got a Java and Mint Java resting for the summer.

    And, because of all the suggestions, I've also got a new wish list started.

    Not much help here on the coffee flavors, as I usually dont seek them out. On the chocolate side, I find that the Ashton Aged Maduro really hits the spot when thats what Im in the mood for. Until I perfect the draw on a Snickers, the Ashton Aged Maduro is gonna have to do. :-)

    Ashton VSG or Liga Privada No. 9 on the high end...
    Diesel Shorty or Partagas Black (the black is hit or miss sometimes) a little lower.
