Alec Bradley King David Gran Robusto A Mike's Cigars Exclusive

Here's another exclusive from Mike's Cigars that I'm fortunate enough to review, the King David Gran Robusto by Alec Bradley.

Freeing this cigar from the cellophane, you'll see the top notch construction and realize this cigar's a real beauty. The King David cigar is covered by a silky smooth, seamless, nearly vein free Claro colored Connecticut wrapper. After clipping the triple cap, both the free draw and the foot of this well packed cigar produce light nuances of toast.

Once toasted and burning, the first mild bodied puffs of smoke have flavor notes of mild cedar, cream and sugar; a perfect combination to wake a morning palate. The burn is razor sharp as it moves up the cigar unlocking other flavors of brown sugar, toast, oak and leather. After fifty-five minutes, the cigar finishes its burn with a medium bodied mix of oak, leather and mild black pepper.

Overall the King David is nice mild/medium bodied cigar. It has top of the line construction, a super burn, balanced flavors and would be great any time you wanted a cigar on the milder side. You can pick these up from Mikescigars.com as singles, in five-packs or in boxes of 20. If you pick up a box of 20, these King David Gran Robusto cigars are less than $5.00 each and that's a deal!

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
