Viva Republica Guerrilla Warfare Corona

I picked up this Viva Republica Guerrilla Warfare Corona the other day while at Cigar Train. I reviewed the Petite Corona back in June so I'm excited to give this stick a try.

Constuction of this Guerrilla Warfare Corona is nice. It's wrapped in a mottled Colorado colored wrapper that contains only a few small veins. The stout, toothy, wrapper is rolled on with seamless skill and the cigar is topped of with a triple cap.

Testing this well packed cigar cold, there are notes of hay to the nose and the free draw has flavors of spicy, sweet hay.

Once burning, the cigar produced a nice volume of medium bodied smoke with notes of oak, wheat straw, white pepper and toast. As the clean burn moved into the second half there were other flavors of leather, caramel, earth, and cream. After sixty minutes the cigar finished with a full bodied mix of sweet, earthy leather. Not to shabby!

Overall this Viva Republica Guerrilla Warfare Corona was another winner. It has good flavors, a great burn and solid construction.

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
