La Vieja Habana Brazilian Maduro Bombero From Drew Estate

If you read my reviews, you know I like budget cigars and this La Vieja Habana Brazilian Maduro From Drew Estate is another nice cigar for your hard earn dollars.

Covered by a good looking Brazilian maduro wrapper this cigar looks top of the line, and it should, it's created by Drew Estate. The wrapper shows a bit of oil, some really fine veins and it even has some fine sandpaper like tooth. I do have to mention, it had a 1" wrapper tear at the foot that was glued at the factory. However, the cigar burned through the tear with no ill effects.

From the cold foot of this 6 x 54 beast there were notes of fermented tobacco, while the free and airy draw contained hints of cocoa. Once burning the medium bodied Bombero produced a large volume of smoke from both ends with flavors of, toast, light brown sugar, nuts, oak, cocoa, cream, coffee, peat and caramelized pecans. The cigar finished it's 60 minute burn with a charcoal and leather flavor mix.

Since this was a mixed filler cigar, it's made with clipping from premium brands, the flavor mix was complex, but they were soft and changed rather quickly.

Overall this was a great cigar for the dollar. It had great flavors, nice construction and a pretty good burn time. You can pick these up from Neptune Cigar for $3.92 as a single or heck just grab a box of 20 for only $49.95.

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
