Aging Room F55 Quattro Concerto

It was so cold and rainy the other day I about froze my ash off smoking a review cigar so I headed out to Legends of Fire to burn a couple more sticks. While there I picked up my first ever, Aging Room Cigar, the Quattro F55 Concerto. You can grab this cigar as a single from Famous Smoke Shop for only $10.04 each.

Giving this Quattro F55 Concerto a quick inspection I see the construction was simply top of the line. This box-pressed beauty is draped in a stout, Colorado colored, aged, Sumatran wrapper. Additionally the wrapper had a bit of sandpaper-like tooth, a couple of smaller veins and was rolled on with seamless skill.

Checking out the cold cigar, there were light notes of cocoa from the foot and the light, airy draw tasted like spiced chocolate.

After toasting and lighting the foot, the initial medium bodied flavors were toast with cocoa, As the razor sharp burn moved up the cigar there were other flavors of white pepper, nuts, chocolate, honey, black pepper, light earth, oak and charcoal. The cigar finished it's fifty-five minute burn with a full bodied mix of charcoal and oak.

There are a couple other things worth mentioning. This Aging Room F55 Quattro Concerto produced huge plumes of smoke, more than any cigar I can remember. Also the foot band had to much glue and took a fingernail sized chunk of wrapper with it while removing it. Lastly, in the final two inches the light draw took over and the cigar finished hot. Since the flavor mix was so tasty, I did nub this stick, but it took a bit of effort.

Overall this was a great cigar. It had top notch construction, fantastic flavors and a good burn time. Give this cigar a try and see what you think.

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
