Obsidian White Noise Robusto: Quick Review

I pick up a sampler from time to time to get a nice selection of sticks to review and different cigars to smoke. The Obsidian White Noise was part of a sampler, but you can pick one up at Cigar.com for $7.25.

Wide bands always worry me when it comes to wrapper damage. This band had so much glue that it took a knife to get under the seam, but it came off without damaging the wrapper. The oily, Colorado colored wrapper was rolled on with seamless care, there were only a few fine veins and it was covered by a good looking triple cap.

From the foot there was a mild barnyard aroma and the free cold draw had flavors of red wine and toast. Once burning the initial medium bodied flavors were a tasty mix of nuts and sweet cream. As the but progressed there were notes of toast, sugar, oak, mild earth and a dash of black pepper.

This was a nice, mellow, well burning, medium bodied stick with a smooth flavor mix. It was a great cigar to relax with on Fathers day.

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
