Romeo y Julieta House of Capulet Toro

I've mentioned it before, but it seems that with every new blend from Romeo y Julieta I smoke, I enjoy their cigars more and more. This Romeo y Julieta House of Capulet Toro, a Famous Smoke Shop exclusive, is another great example. RyJ cigars don't have them most complex flavor mixes, but their flavors are rock-solid in every cigar and I like that.

This Capulet Toro is wrapped in silky smooth, seamless, nearly vein free, Claro colored Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and finished off with a tight triple cap. From the foot there are sweet fruity aromas to the nose and the free cold draw has notes of fruit and fermented tobacco.

After toasting and lighting the foot, the initial mild bodied flavors are sweet, fruity and toasty. Tasty is the best way to describe the mix. As the sharp burn line moves up the cigar a few more flavors join in. There are notes of sugar, cream and toasted tobacco.

Around the mid point the body moves into the medium body range and some caramel jumps into the mix. The cigar finishes its sixty minute burn with a nice flavor mix of earth, caramel and leather.

I smoked this cigar with my before-breakfast coffee and it was a near perfect combination. Again, the flavor mix wasn't complex, but the flavors were solid and great tasting. In a nutshell, I could smoke this cigar before breakfast every day!

You can grab your own Romeo y Julieta House of Capulet Toros from Famous-smoke.com as a single, in 5 or 10 packs or in a box of 20 for $92.99.

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
