Bull & Bear Marblehead By Crux Cigars

Here's a stick that's a bit unique, the Bull & Bear Marblehead By Crux Cigars. The Crux Marblehead™ cigars, feature a tapered and rounded cap influenced by the classic Cuban 109. This is the final Crux Cigar from last months CigarTrain's cigar of the month club package. To be honest, I'm sad it's the last.

Construction of the Bull & Bear was impeccable. The stout Maduro colored, Habano Jalapa wrapper is seamless, nearly vein free and shows a bit of tooth. The Marblehead cap is put on tight and adds a nice aesthetic touch to the cigar's overall appearance.

From the cold foot, there's an aroma of sweet fruit, while the free cold draw has nuances of sweet and spicy fruit mixed with cocoa. Very nice.

After this 6 x 60 beast was toasted and burning the first smooth and full bodied blasts of smoke tasted like semi-sweet chocolate. As the razor-sharp burn moved up the body there were other flavors of ripe stone fruit, leather, charcoal and lots more creamy chocolate. The cigar finished its long 1 hour, 25 minute burn with a mix of espresso and charcoal.

Overall the Bull & Bear Marblehead By Crux Cigars is a great cigar. While the flavor mix isn't very complex, the cigar is a total chocolate bomb and I like chocolate bombs! It had fantastic construction, a great burn time and the Marblehead™ really catches the eye.

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
