La Aurora Untamed Robusto

Here's a neat new cigar I picked up at Cigar Train and had the opportunity to smoke a couple days ago, La Aurora "Untamed" Robusto. I posted the press release about this cigar a while back "The Lion Has Gone Rogue", go ahead and see what La Aurora has to say.

Holding this Untamed cigar in my hand, it's nice. It's covered in a stout, thick, nearly vein free, Maduro Colored Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that's rolled on with tight nearly invisible seams. Checking the cold cigar, I find it's packed firmly full length, plus there are aromas of fruit and cocoa from the Foot. After clipping the triple cap, there are flavor notes of cocoa and wheat straw from the free draw.

After the Untamed Robusto was burning, the first medium bodied flavors were a mix of cocoa and black pepper. Within a few puffs the pepper faded and chocolate took over for a bit. As the burn progressed--it was a bit wavy in the first half-- a dark oil line formed and other flavors joined in. There were nuances of caramel, brown sugar, leather, barnyard, oak, charred oak, charcoal and burnt spicy cedar. The fifty minute burn finished with a great tasting, full bodied, mix of anise and burnt mocha.

Even while lighting this cigar it looked like a real smoke producer and let me tell you, it was. The Untamed made gobs of thick smoke from both ends. Couple that with the complex flavor mix, good burn and top-notch construction, we have a winner!

If you're a Maduro fan, heck even if you're not, put this La Aurora Untamed on your to-smoke list. Once these are available, which should be soon, you can grab them online from Famous Smoke Shop.

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
