Camacho Ecuador Robusto

I've eagerly awaited the chance to smoke and review this new Camacho Ecuador Robusto. MikesCigars.com carries the Ecuador by the box, as five packs or as a single for $6.80.

Construction of this robusto is superb. It's packed well full length, it has a triple cap plus a seamless and nearly vein free, oily, Colorado colored wrapper. From the foot there are notes of molasses and the cold draw reminds me of spicy black tea.

The first few mouthfuls of medium bodied smoke taste like black tea with a bit of sugar added and the oily gloss grows on the wrapper with every puff. As the burn progresses there are notes of brown sugar, fermented tobacco, toast, sweet cream, oak, leather, caramel and a hint of coffee with cream at the nub.

Overall this new Ecuador is a winner. It has great flavors, a fifty-five minute burn time, a super oily wrapper, and top of the line construction. The burn was pretty jagged in the first half, but it burnt through it without a touch up. This cigar definitely needs to be on your "to smoke" list.

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
