Don Chuchu Churchill Sumatra

The second choice from the 5 Don's sampler was the Don Chuchu Churchill Sumatra. The cold aroma had a slight hint of oak and spice and the wrapper had a nice light sweetness. On the cold draw I could still taste the hint of spice and oak, plus the sweetness of the wrapper and the cigar had a nice easy draw.

Once lit this mild cigar it had the same hint of spice and oak, only it intensified a bit and that remained constant until about the half way point, so did the even burn rate. Near the half way point the cigar developed a bitter bite and the burn ran down one side about a quarter of an iinch. This bitterness did quickly pass and a nice creamy sweetness jumped in. In the final two inches a stronger earthiness developed, but the cigar remained cool clear to the end.

Over all this was a nice very nice cigar, and even better it was only a buck when purchased in the sampler. I did find these online for about $2.20 per stick in a ten pack. I am happy there are three more of these to enjoy in this sampler, which so far has been two for two in the win column.

Amazing Camacho Facebook Post

I was truly humbled to see this Camacho Cigars Facebook post yesterday. Thank you!

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
