John Starks #3 Signature Series Connecticut Toro from Legends Cigars

Monday night at Legends of Fire, in Northern Quest Casio, my wife and I had the opportunity to meet NBA legend, John Starks. It was an amazing event and everyone in attendance received two of John's great cigars, one Connecticut, one Maduro. We picked up a box, which John autographed plus he posed for pictures with us. We had a great time.

This John Starks #3 Signature Series Connecticut Toro from Legends Cigars was another top of the line cigar. From the foot there were mild aromas of oak and hay to the nose and after clipping the end-cap the free cold draw had the same flavor mix.

The cigar itself had top-notch construction. It was packed well full length, plus the silky smooth Claro colored Connecticut wrapper was seamless and nearly vein free.

After toasting the foot and lighting the Connecticut, the first flavors within the mild bodied smoke were cream with a mild hint of spice. As the burn moved up the body there were other flavors of brown sugar, cedar, white pepper, oak and honey. The flavor mix wasn't very complex, but the flavors were balanced and they complimented each other to deliver a tasty smoke.

Overall the John Starks #3 Signature Series Connecticut Toro, was another really nice cigar. The burn line was razor sharp, a nice oily gloss developed on the wrapper as the burn progressed and it gave me sixty minutes of smoking pleasure. This is another stick that you shouldn't pass up if you find one!

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
