Villiger Talanga Robusto

This Villiger Talanga Robusto was another cigar included in last month's Cigar Of The Month package from Cigar Train.

Covered with a silky smooth, Claro colored Talanga Honduran wrapper, this robusto has a nice visual appeal. Not only was the wrapper put on with seamless care, it's oily and practically vein free. The cigar is packed well full length and it topped with a nice triple cap. From the cold foot there is a mild aroma of toast and the free draw tastes like sweet sugary cream.

After clipping the cap and lighting up, the first mild bodied puffs tasted like toasted cashews with a hint of mild spicy cedar. Around the mid point, the spice turned to hot red pepper for a few puffs then mellowed out again. There were other second half flavors of earth, leather and brown sugar. After fifty-five minutes the Villiger Talanga Robusto finished with a nice mix of cream and leather.

Overall, this was a nice cigar. It had top notch construction, a great burn and a balanced flavor mix. Try it out, it's a nice cigar.

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
