Colibri Slice Double Guillotine Cutter

This silver carbon fiber Colibri slice double guillotine cutter came in a humidor, lighter, cutter and ashtray package from CheapHumidors.com. As time allows I'll review the other products included in the package.

Quick Details:

440 stainless steel blades
64 ring gauge
Rubber side grips
Spring-loaded release
Gift box included
Two-year Warranty
Price: $29.99 CheapHumidors.com

Overall this is a pretty nice cutter, it has an attractive overall appearance, it's fairly sharp and the rubber grips on the sides are a nice touch. As I said earlier, it was part of a set, and it matches well with the Colibri Sapphire single jet lighter that was included.
On the Colibri website this cutter retails for $85.00 and is on sale for $55.00 at the moment. This makes the $29.99 price tag a real deal. Another plus is the nice gift box that Colibri supplies with the cutter.

There was a bit of a learning curve to open this spring loaded cutter one handed due to the way it's designed. After some trial and error I solved the problem by putting my index finger in the closed cutter opening the pulling the button with my thumb.

Additionally, I cut fairly shallow on parejos shaped cigars and after cutting several cigars, it's just not sharp enough to do the trick for me, but it does work great on torpedo and perfecto shaped cigars.

Overall this is a nice looking, well functioning cutter that makes a nice addition to my cigar swag. There is one more point I should mention, on Colibri.com, it states there is a two year warranty on this cutter, but if you go to the warranty page, it only explains the lighter warranty. So I just don't know...

I give this Colibri slice double guillotine cutter a 7 out of 10 star 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
