Epicurean AG Azul Vintage 2008 Trajabador: Quick Review

This AG Azul Vintage 2008 Trajabador by Epicurean Cigars has fantastic overall construction. The oily Colorado colored wrapper is seamless and shows only very fine veins. It's packed well full length and its finished with a triple cap.

From the foot there's a sweet tea aroma while the free cold draw has brown sugar notes. Before the cigar was fully lit I could taste bold chocolate mixed with toast. As it burned on there were other notes of brown sugar, chai tea, a hint of ripe fruit, cream, coffee, leather and oak with a full bodied finish of toast, nuts and sweet cream.

This was a fantastic cigar! The oil started building on the wrapper when the lighter first hit the foot, the flavor mix was superb, the burn was razor sharp and the burn time was 60 minutes.

You can pick up a 5-pack of these great AG Azul Vintage 2008 Trajabador cigars from the Cigar Federation Store for $46.05

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
