Xikar Xi3 Titanium Spectra Cutter

Quick Details

Model: Xi3

Action: Double Guillotine
Warranty: Lifetime
Price: $89.99

To begin, I smoke quite a few torpedo's so the Double Guillotine cutters that I have used in the past did a fine job. Problems began when my V cutter and punches all became dull and started damaging wrappers so I switched to the Double Guillotines.

I cut fairly shallow on parejos shaped cigars and lately many of the cigars I have been smoking are rolled pretty tight. These other cutters have been skipping over the filler and just cutting the end cap.

When I pulled this Xikar Xi3 Titanium Spectra Cutter out of the box, the first thing I checked, other than how cool it looked, was the blade sharpness and it was sharp. Actually it was much sharper than any of my other cutters, in fact it is sharp enough to cut where I want to cut a cigar with no problems at. Consequently I have stopped using all my other cutters and use the Xi3 all the time now.

There are a couple of other benefits too. Xikar offers a lifetime warranty. Even if this cutter gets dull they will repair or replace it if I send it back. Next, when I registered this cutter on the Xikar.com website I learned that they will send me a leather sheath for it. How good is that? It doesn't get much better than a lifetime warranty and a free sheath!

Well done Xikar. I am giving this Xi3 Titanium Spectra Cutter a 10 out of 10 rating!

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
