Victor Sinclair Bohemian Oscuro

This is another stick from the Bohemian sampler with an Oscuro wrapper. A nice looking, well constructed cigar with nice looking dark wrapper, a top knot and a shaggy foot.

I thought a few days in the humidor would help these even out, but as I found out while smoking this stick, it either needed a great deal more humidor time or there was a major flaw in the internal construction.

Once the top know was removed this cigar had a nice sweet and spicy cold draw and a spicy aroma. Since it came with the shaggy foot and a nice easy draw this stick was a breeze to light and started off with the same sweet spicy flavor as the cold draw only more intense.

After the first inch or so the cigar started to heat up clear up by the ring and the barrel of the cigar started to shrivel a bit. I cut this cigar down to where the barrel had shriveled and found that the burn, even though the burn appeared even, had taken off and burned out the center of the cigar nearly full length in only a few short minutes.

Again I am not sure if this was a humidity problem with the cigar or an internal flaw in the construction but since I have a new humidor arriving next week I will give the rest of the sampler a couple weeks to even out a bit before trying another.

I did find these offered online in a sampler if five different sized for $2.99 per stick. I'm very disappointed that I didn't get to finish this stick, I think it would have been a real gem.

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
