Tabak Especial Robusto Negra Cigar by Drew Estate

You know me, normally I'm not much of an infused cigar fan, but this Tabak Especial Robusto Negra Cigar by Drew Estate, is different than most. Before these cigars are aged, they're infused with Nicaraguan coffee.

With dual bands over an oily, dark Maduro colored Connecticut wrapper and a shaggy foot, this cigar looks great. The cigar has seamless construction, a triple cap, and there's some fine tooth to the nearly vein free wrapper.

Just holding this cigar in your hand, you can smell the coffee aromas. Checking the free draw there are notes of toasted tobacco and lots of coffee. The wrapper leaves a big sweetness on the lips giving the impression it's been dipped in sugar.

Once the shaggy foot is burning, the Tabak Especial produces large mouthfuls of smoke with strong notes of toasted tobacco, coffee and sugar. As the razor sharp burn line moves up the body other flavors join in that complement the coffee. There are nuances of spiced rum, anise and some sweet black cherry toward the final third. I thought this flavor mix, although very sweet, created a really pleasant smoking experience.

The cigar draws to an end after fifty minutes with a full bodied mix reminding me of spiced rum, coffee and toasted tobacco.

With a nice mix of flavors, top of the line construction and a great burn, the Tabak Especial Robusto Negra Cigar by Drew Estate is a great infused cigar. You can find these online at Famous-smoke.com in 5 packs or boxes of 24. Don't be afraid to give this flavorful cigar a try.

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
