what cigar(s) share these flavor characteristics?

Java by drew estate is an infused cigar, so that will have about as much 'mocha' flavor as you can endure.

On the other hand - if you're looking for the characteristic from natural cigars, then, well, there are a few that I've come across.... but these are so subjective!

CAO Gold Maduro has some light coffee notes.
I've picked up similar notes in the Torano 1916's as well.
CAO Italia has a chocolaty/espresso note, in my opinion.
For a cheap stick, the Nestor Maduro robusto satisfies my taste for a 'mocha' -ish cigar as well.

I always thought Padron maduro worked the coffee end of the spectrum, and the Pennsylvania Maduro wrapped cigars also favor that flavor. Maybe a little less are teh oscuro from Villazon - JR Ult, HDM, ERDM, etc.

As mentioned by Bigjohn, flavors can be very subjective.

I honestly can't recall right now which cigars brought Mocha to mind. That to me means a creamy sweet coffee with chocolate hints. Most of what I ever encounter are espresso/dark roast flavors, but as has been said twice now, flavors are subject to interpretation.

I've not had a lot of padrons, but I think that the base line padrons, the thousand numbers, had somewhat that profile.

Nicaraguan tobacco and possibly sun grown, broadleaf or ecuador sumatra will be more likely to bring this out. Maybe...

Guitarzan reports that the helix maduro is good in this way. maybe give them a try.

dominican with a light connecticut wrapper can taste cream/caramel, the maduro on a light bodied dominican like a Special Jamaican or Casa Blanca tends to add a little depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness.

Those JR Blue Jamaican coffee cigars from years ago were the ABSOLUTE BOMB!!!

I think that I have about three of those left.

I hope my buddy taking care of my stash doesn't find them. He loved them, too.

There seems to be an infused line with almost every major line anymore, cigar makers tend to follow the crowd, or so I think.
