Bold By Nish Patel

Last weekend was Little Smoke 2014 put on by Legends of Fire at Northern Quest Casino. I'll write more about the event over the next couple days.

This Bold By Nish Patel has special meaning. Not only did I meet and spend some time talking with Nish Patel, I met Rocky Patel at the same time. Rocky personally handed this cigar to me just to review. So here goes.

Let me tell you, this is one nice looking cigar. The Oscuro colored Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper covers dual San Andres Mexican and Connecticut binders plus it's packed full of Nicaraguan fillers. It's stout, oily, toothy and has fairly fine veins. You can see in the picture that the seams are hard to find; the construction is that good. Plus, it has a nice triple cap. From the foot of the cold cigar there is a mild fermented tobacco aroma, but don't let that fool you, once the cap was clipped the free cold draw was a bold mix of fruit and spice.

After toasting the foot and lighting this stick up, the first flavors were full bodied black pepper and ripe tree fruit. It's also worth noting the cigar produced loads of thick chewy smoke. As the Bold burned on, the complex flavor mix really showed it's stuff. There were notes of brown sugar, oak, toast, coffee, leather, cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, charcoal and with pepper, lots of white pepper. There was an underlying hint of white pepper spice full length. The sixty minute burn finish with a mix of dark chocolate and charcoal. Very tasty!

Overall this was a fantastic cigar. It had a razor sharp burn, a full bodied, complex flavor mix and the pepper wasn't overpowering. I suggest you try this cigar, it's a good one! You can find them online at Famous Smoke Shop for a mere $8.60 each.

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
