Cuba Aliados Corojo Piramide

Cuba Aliados Corojo Piramide

This Cuba Aliados Corojo cigar is one of the reasons I first started this site. It is a quality cigar that can be picked up at a good price from several retailers around the web. No it doesn't have a fancy band and it doesn't have knock-your-socks-off-sit-you-back-in-your-chair flavor that makes you says WOW to yourself but it's a quality cigar, with good flavor, a nice looking ash and a great burn. I don't have an unlimited cigar budget, so I look for deals all the time and this cigar fits the bill quite well.

Cuba Aliados corojo cigar
The Cuba Aliados Corojo Piramide has a good construction with a toothy corojo wrapper. As the cigar burned with a razor sharp burn line it left behind a firm white ash that held on until the mid point. The most prominent flavors were, mild black pepper, earth, oak, molasses, damp peat and touch mild red pepper.

Like I said this cigar was nothing special, it was just a good tasting, solid smoke. I could smoke a couple of these Cuba Aliados cigars every day and not break the bank. I read all the time in posts, "Life is to short to smoke cheap cigars". My philosophy deviates from that a bit.  I always say "life is to short to smoke bad cigars"! If you read of my reviews you will find that price doesn't not always equal taste.

I would like to thank  my friend Johnny of Milton Made Coffee for bombing me with these and a few other sticks around the holidays.

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
