Allure Habano Torpedo From J&D Cigars

So here it is, the Allure Habano Torpedo From J&D Cigars.

Construction of this cigar was flawless. As I examine the cigar's body I can see it only contains the smallest of spider web size veins, it has nearly perfect seams and it's packed just right the entire length. This cigar looks like it could easily carry a $10.00 or higher price tag.

The cold aromas from this cigar are nice, from the foot I am finding a hint of sweet fruit and tobacco while the Colorado Claro colored wrapper has a nice sweet tobacco aroma. Once the end is clipped The perfect cold draw gives me a nice shot of spicy tobacco.

After toasting the foot with my trusted single jet, the first flavors I can taste are a mild, dry, mix of black pepper and earth. Just as I get these flavors jotted down in my notes, a nice mellow, creamy sweetness is pushing away the pepper, then suddenly here comes coffee, then earth mixed with a bit of oak. This is amazing, it seems like the flavor changes with every two or three puffs. The flavor mix continues to dance around every few puffs until I reach the final third. In the final third I am surprised by a nice sweet creaminess that nearly dominates the flavor profile and it actually hangs around for more than a few puffs, giving this cigar a super strong medium bodied finish.

Overall this cigar is a real winner. It has a great burn, good smoking time at 60+ minutes, nice flavors and top of the line construction, plus a price point that can't be beat. CheapHumidors.com has these on sale at $14.97 for a pack of five. That's a deal!

Amazing Camacho Facebook Post

I was truly humbled to see this Camacho Cigars Facebook post yesterday. Thank you!

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
