Romeo Toro En Tubo by Romeo y Julieta Cigars

I can't pass up a tube cigar and finally I grabbed this Romeo Toro En Tubo by Romeo y Julieta Cigars from Cigar Train about a month ago.

After sliding it from the tube, I was surprised by how nice this 6 x 54 Toro cigar looked. The dark, oily Colorado Claro colored Ecuadorian Habano wrapper looks stout and delicious. It's rolled on with near seamless skill, it has only fine veins and it leaves behind a sweet aftertaste on my lips. The cold foot has an aroma of sweet fermented tobacco, while the free cold draw has nuances of oak and honey.

Once the foot was on fire and burning the first medium/full bodied flavors were a mix of black pepper, leather, peat and sweet tea. In the second half the body moved into the full range with new flavors of caramel, molasses, espresso and cocoa. The Romeo finished it's ninety minute burn with flavors of dark chocolate mixed with charcoal.

Although the flavor mix of the Romeo wasn't ultra complex, the flavors were solid and tasty. The cigar produced a large volume of smoke and it developed a deep, dark, oily sheen on the wrapper in the second half. Other than correcting the burn one time right in the middle this cigar was a fantastic smoking experience.

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
