Emilio Cigars AF-2 Toro
Visually inspecting this Emilio Cigars AF-2 Toro I see a top quality cigar with an oily wrapper that is nearly free from veins and seams. Feeling the body, it's packed well full length with no hard or soft spots. Checking the foot, I find aromas of dried fruit, toast and rich tobacco. Once the cap is cut, I find a free but firm draw and the same flavors of dried fruit, toast and rich tobacco that were found from the foot.

Once the cigar was toasted and burning it produced a nice volume of medium bodied smoke containing flavor nuances of mild pepper, earth and oak. As the razor sharp burn line progressed it left behind a light gray ash that held on for the first third. While the burn progressed other flavors came and went, I could distinguish separate flavor notes of fruit, sugar, brown sugar, toast, sweet cream, coffee and a lot more toast. The long finish, lasting most of the final third, reminded me of coffee with extra cream and sugar.

The AF-2 is another great cigar from Emilio Cigars, overall it had great construction, a great burn and a nice flavor mix. Track some down and give them a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

I would like to thank House of Emilio for providing this sample for review!

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
