My Father Cigars Flor De Las Antillas Robusto

My Father Flor De Las Antillas Robusto
I've wanted to try this My Father Cigars Flor De Las Antillas cigar for quite some time now and it showed up in this months Freight Train COTM package from Cigar Train.

This was a nice looking stick. The oily Colorado colored wrapper was seamless and nearly vein free. It was topped off with a triple cap that when cut produced a firm draw flavored like black tea. Being box-pressed I always wonder how the cigar is packed, this Flor De Las Antillas was firmly packed full length and had a nice aroma of sweet tea from the foot.

Once flame was introduced to the foot the first medium bodied flavors were sweet tea and mild black pepper. These were soon followed by toast, toasted marshmallows, brown sugar, black tea, molasses and ripe fruit. The cigar finished it's fifty minute burn as full bodied with mix of oak, leather and a hint of cocoa. It was a very tasty cigar!

Overall the My Father Cigars Flor De Las Antillas Robusto was a great cigar. It had great flavors, top notch construction, a razor sharp burn and a good burn time. If you haven't smoked one of these yet, track one down and smoke it!

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
