Foundry Tobacco Company - Compounds, Elements and Musings: Dubnium - Db 105

So far I've been pretty impressed with the Foundry Tobacco Company their cigar lines. Today we take a look at the Dubnium (Db 105) from the Compounds, Elements and Musings line. I picked this stick up at Cigar Train last week.

The Db 105 is 6 x 60 with a near oval box-press applied. It's covered nearly full length by the two bands, but the Cheshire Cat is pretty cool, so it's OK. I'm always leery when it comes to removing large bands, but these both came right off with no damage to the wrapper.

Once the bands are off, you can see the oily, seamless and nearly vein free Colorado colored wrapper that had been hiding underneath. The cigar was packed well full length and topped with a well fitting triple cap. From the cold foot there are notes of sweet fermented tobacco, plus a hint of hay, while the free draw was light and flavored like sweet, spicy cedar.

Once the cigar was burning there were smooth, medium bodied flavors of cocoa, white pepper, leather, oak, molasses, brown sugar, sweet cream, barnyard and raw sugar. After seventy-five minutes the cigar finished with sweet, medium bodied, notes of brown sugar.

Overall the Foundry Dubnium provided a very enjoyable smoking experience. Many of the flavors were on the sweet side of the scale, which I like, but with the earthy notes mixed in, I felt it was well balanced. Sweet and savory came to mind as I was taking notes. If you find this cigar on the shelf at your local B&M, grab a couple and try them out, they're a tasty treat.

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
