CAO Cigars MX2 Toro

I found smoking the CAO Cigars MX2 Toro cigar a great way to relax and beat the scorching mid-afternoon summer heat a while back.

The double maduro binder and wrapper combination of this MX2 only highlighted four-county blend of fillers inside. But let me tell you this baby was a chocolate bomb from start to finish. It comes with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper that's all business. The toothy wrapper is dark, oily, and thick, It's rolled on with near seamless perfection and the cigar is packed firmly full length. Plus, when testing the cocoa flavored free draw, the wrapper left behind a nice chocolate aftertaste on my lips.

From the first medium/full bodied puff to the last, this MX2 was all earth and chocolate. No, the flavor mix wasn't complex at all, but dang, it was good all the way down to a lip-burning nub.

Overall this was another high quality cigar from CAO Cigars. It had a great burn line and a fantastic ninety minute smoking time. If you like chocolate and you like them smooth give this CAO Cigars MX2 a try.

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
