Colibri Cutter V-Cut

This Colibri Cutter V-Cut is one of the gifts I received on Valentine's day from my fantastic wife.

Quick Details:

Operation: Spring loaded release
Style: V-Cut
Blade: Stainless Steel
Cigar Size: Up to 60 ring
Price: $39.00

For decades now I've been mainly using punches and low priced V cutters on my cigars. My typical V cutter is one of those I'd pay around $4.00 for and they really tear part of the cap out instead of cutting it.

Once I pulled the Colibri out of its' nice gift box I was surprised by it's weight, it was hefty, and that it had a spring loaded opening system. I thought that was a pretty neat feature. The stainless steel blade is much different than the cheap V cutters, it has a trailing point so it actually removes the V from the cigar starting at the top of the cap and cuts the bottom of the V last. I have tested it on several cigars and so far the super sharp blade has not caused any extra cap damage.

A couple of things I found while reading on Colibri.com, they designed this cutter to create a deeper than normal V to increase the draw, see the picture below, and there is no warranty on their cutters.

Overall this is a great looking product that functions as good as it looks. It's a great addition to my cutter collection!

I give it an 8 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
