Regius Cigars Exclusivo U.S.A. Toro Extra

Well, the journey through this new line of Exclusivo U.S.A. Cigars from Regius Cigars draws to a close with this Toro Extra. Let me say, this may be the most interesting cigar of the line.

This Regius Cigars Exclusivo U.S.A. Toro Extra, starts out mild and sweet then BAM, about two thirds through it hits with a full bodied mix of bold and earthy flavors.

But, lets back up a bit. Looking at this Toro Extra the quality of construction radiates from the cigar. The oily, smooth, Colorado Claro colored wrapper contains only the finest of veins and it's rolled on with seamless precision. Feeling down the body, the cigar is packed well and the cigar has a neat little pig-tail cap. From the foot there are aromas to the nose of fermented, fruity tobacco and the firm cold draw tastes like spicy Spanish cedar.

After clipping off the pig-tail cap, toasting the foot and lighting this beauty up, the first puffs are mild bodied with a sweet Chai tea flavor. In the first two thirds there are flavor nuances of nuts, coffee, raw sugar, leather and toasted marshmallow. To this point the burn has been razor sharp and the cigar produces a huge volume of smoke. In the final third, everything about this cigar changes. The body jumps right into the full range and the sweet mild flavors are replaced by deep rich notes of earth, damp leather, molasses, charcoal and black pepper. At this time the burn takes of and gets pretty wavy, bad enough it needed a quick correction. The cigar finishes it's seventy minute burn with a tasty, very full bodied mix of charcoal and molasses.

On the Regius Cigars Exclusivo U.S.A. web site it says, "This cigar is a more full bodied blend which develops in flavour, reaching a crescendo two-thirds of the way through. Smooth until the end, the cigar is long, rich and satisfying". Boy did Regius Cigars get that right.

Overall this was a really nice cigar. It had top of the line construction and a great tasting, complex flavor mix. This Exclusivo U.S.A. Toro Extra is a cigar everyone should experience!

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
