CAO Colombia Robusto

I grabbed this CAO Colombia Robusto off the shelf at Cigar Train on my last visit. I've been waiting to get my hands on this cigar since it was released. Here's another case of the band selling me the cigar.

This beauty is covered in a silky smooth Claro colored wrapper that's practically seamless and vein free. With the colorful band against the natural wrapper, the Colombia is a great looking stick.

From the foot I found an aroma of sweet, fresh-cut hay while the free cold draw tasted like spicy cedar. After putting a match to the foot, the first flavors were a mild bodied mix of sweet cream and a hint of white pepper spice. As the cigar burned on, I found flavor notes of sugar, lots of sugar, more cream, earth, toast, wheat and then some brown sugar.

At the end of the sixty-minute burn I was rewarded with an unexpected, but nice oak and leather finish that was down right delicious.

The flavor mix lacked any real complexity, but this CAO Colombia Robusto made up for that with a hint of spice full length and mix of solid, great tasting, mild bodied flavors.

My opinion? CAO Cigars created another winner with this cigar! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. You can grab a box of these for your very own for just $78.99 from Famous Smoke Shop.

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
