Classic Robusto By Crux Premium Sticks

Yesterday I made a mistake. While cleaning most of the 1500 pictures off my phone, I deleted the pictures for this Classic Robusto By Crux Premium Sticks by mistake. Since I was in a jam, I hopped over to the Crux web site and borrowed this picture.

I've been wanting to try these Crux cigars for some time now but haven't ran across any. To my surprise the Freight Train package (cigar of the month club), this month from Cigar Train was filled with Crux Cigars. Well, I think the wait was definitely worth it. This Classic Robusto was a solid, good smoking, great tasting cigar. Here's what I found.

This well packed Classic is covered by an oily Colorado colored Habano Jalapa wrapper. Looking at the wrapper, it's rolled on with seamless skill and it contains only the finest of veins. From the foot there is a nice aroma of fermented tobacco, while the free cold draw releases flavor notes of tart fruit.

Once the foot is toasted and the cigar is burning the first medium bodied flavors are mix of sweet fermented tobacco and smooth leather. As the sharp, oily burn line moves up the body, there are other flavors of brown sugar, lots of cream, oak, spicy cedar, toast and mild black pepper. After sixty minutes the Crux Classic finishes with a near full bodied mix of cream and leather.

Overall the Crux Classic was a darn nice cigar and I'm happy to finally have the chance to take one for a spin. It had a solid flavor mix, a great burn and top of the line construction. Give these a try, you can't go wrong!

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
