3rd Annual Legends Of Fire Black & White Event With CAO Cigars

Last night Paula and I attended the 3rd Annual, Black & White event hosted by the Legends Of Fire cigar lounge at Northern Quest Casino. The event featured Rick Rodriguez of CAO Cigars and some fine Bourbons, from Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's, Booker's and Baker's.

Each person in attendance received two CAO Cigars that aren't available to the public: Rick Rodriguez's personal blend, and the un-released Kid Rock, "Rock N Rolled" cigar.

I smoked Rick's private blend cigar and found it reminiscent of the recently reviewed Flathead 450 Sparkplug in flavor, but it had a bit more kick at the end. It was pretty darn tasty.

There were great drinks, good food, a huge chocolate fountain, a photo booth and lots of prizes given away throughout the night. Even I won a box of CAO Nasty Nutcracker cigars for being the first person called on to remember that Rick was once part of La Gloria before taking the lead at CAO.

I forgot to ask Blake or Brittney how many tickets were sold, but there was a great turnout and overall they put on another fantastic event!

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
