MIRÓ Cigars Toro

Here's a great looking stick, the MIRÓ Cigars Toro that Cigar Train provided as a sample to review. I don't think Cigar Train carries these but you can pick them up at Famous Smoke Shop for $7.10 as a single.

Like I said this is a great looking cigar. The oily Colorado colored Sumatran wrapper is rolled on nicely, it has very fine veins and it even has some fine sandpaper-like tooth. It's packed well full length and the aged Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers give the cold foot a sweet, fruity aroma. After the triple cap is clipped the free draw provides flavor nuances of leather and oak.

Once burning the first mild bodied flavors are a mix of leather and brown sugar. The smoke is plentiful, dense and chewy. As the burn moved on there were other flavors of sandalwood, cream--lots of cream--molasses, barnyard and sugar. The flavor mix wasn't very complex but the flavors were balanced and satisfying. After seventy minutes the MIRÓ Cigars Toro finished maybe in the medium body range with flavors of coffee with extra cream and sugar.

There was one problem however, the burn. Looking at the foot the bunch was way off center and the burn canoed severely starting about an inch in. In total the burn needed corrected five times. Other than that, this was a great looking, top of the line cigar with a satisfying flavor mix.

Rated 88

I would like to thank Cigar Train 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
