Product Review: The Cigar Clip

Most cigar smokers know that with some cigars the best part is the nub. I personally find this true with many maduro wrapped cigars. To avoid burnt fingers I have tried, many times with success, sometimes without, toothpicks, paper clips, tweezers (which doesn't make the wife happy), and many other household items. On my last trip to Cigar Train, the owner Brian tossed me one of these "The Cigar Clip", and asked me to give it a try. Well I've done just that and here's the low down.

Quick Details

Adjustable for any size cigar
Leather pocket pouch
Plastic grip
Lightweight
Ergonomic
Does not damage cigar
Price: MSRP $9.99 Sample provided for review by Cigar Train

Overall, I think this product works great. The Cigar Clip is strong enough to hold a fresh cigar, but can be adjusted to hold even the softest cigar nub without damaging the wrapper. If I were still a golfer, I'd be using this clip to hold my cigar out on the course.

The only negative aspect that I ran into is that I had to use both hands to spread The Cigar Clip open then place it over the cigar. Perhaps with more use the tension will soften a bit so it can be a one hand operation.

There is a instructional video on the CigarPro website that shows the proper methods on making the clip fit larger or smaller ring gauge cigars.

For $9.99 I think The Cigar Clip is a pretty good deal and I give it an 8 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
