Espinosa Cigars Habano Robusto

I picked this cigar up in an Espinosa sampler back a couple months. This is Espinosa Habano is another cigar with a eye catching band and is actually the first cigar produced in Erik Espinosa's new "La Zona" factory in Esteli Nicaragua. Well let's get on the cigar it self...

La Zona Habano Robusto by Espinosa Cigars
This Espinosa Cigars Habano robusto has great overall construction. You can see in the picture that it only has the finest of veins and barely any visible seams. The contrast between the band and the Habano wrapper creates nice visual appeal as well.

Physical examination of the cigar reveals that it's packed well full length, there are no hard or soft patches to be found. Checking the foot for aromas there is a hint of fruit, with earth and some coffee. After the cap is cut, the free cold draw has hints of more fruit mixed with black pepper.

Once the cigar is burning it produces a good amount of mild bodied smoke and my taste buds detect initial flavors of oak and spicy cedar. As the cigar burns on there are flavors of earth, leather, toast, brown sugar and a mix of toast, sugar, coffee and spicy cedar in the medium bodied final third finish. The flavor mix wasn't bold, or complex but it was very enjoyable.

In the first third the burn was a bit wavy and it self corrected by the center of the cigar.

Overall the Espinosa Cigars Habano robusto gave me a nice 50 minute smoking experience. I have one more in the humidor and am glad it's there. If you haven't tried one, you should.

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
