La Sirena Cigars Oceano Arctic Perfecto

Here's one of the two cigars I smoked Sunday at the Cigar Train "Customer Appreciation" event, the La Sirena Cigars Oceano Arctic Perfecto.

This Oceano Arctic Perfecto was a great looking cigar. It was covered with an oily maduro colored wrapper that had only few finer veins and nearly invisible seams. From the foot there were aromas of leather and cocoa, while the firm cold draw had notes of cocoa mixed with wheat straw.

Once the cap was clipped and the cigar was burning the cigar produced a large volume of medium bodied smoke from both ends. As the cigar turned to ash there were flavor notes of cocoa, charcoal, earth, sweet cream, molasses and oak. The cigar ended it's forty-five minute burn with a full bodied flavor mix of charcoal and earth.

Overall this La Sirena Cigars Oceano Arctic Perfecto was a really nice cigar, it had a good flavor mix, great burn, and fantastic construction. This is another cigar that should be on your "to smoke list:".

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
