Pinolero Maduro Robusto: Quick Review

I picked up this Pinolero Maduro Robusto by A.J. Fernandez a couple of months back from Cigar Train for $7.99

The Pinolero is covered by a stout, toothy, maduro colored wrapper with tight seams and small veins. It's packed well full length and has a triple cap. From the foot there are notes of cocoa and toast, while the free cold draw tastes of bold spicy cedar.

The first few mouthfuls of smoke are full bodied and peppery coca mixed with oak. The pepper quickly fades as the cocoa turns into more of a milk chocolate flavor, plus there's a touch of leather. Other flavors soon follow, brown sugar, toast, molasses, wheat straw, coffee, cream and charcoal. All of this leads up to a great burnt mocha finish in the final third.

This Pinolero had a fantastic flavor mix, top notch construction, a razor sharp burn, and lasted for 55 minutes. It's another winner from A.J Fernandez!

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
