The King Is Dead Premier From Caldwell Cigars

The King is Dead Premier by Caldwell Cigars
Here's another stick from my Cigar Train, Cigar Of The Month Club package a couple of months back, The King Is Dead Premier, From Caldwell Cigars

Although this is only my second Caldwell cigar, I'm really impressed with the quality of their cigars. This well packed 5 x 50 Premier is covered by a hearty, seamless and oily, Colorado colored wrapper, plus it's topped off with a nice pigtail cap. From the foot there's a faint aroma of fermented tobacco to the nose, while the firm cold draw is both sweet and spicy. 

Once the foot is toasted and burning the first mild/medium body flavors are a mix of sweet cream, toast and nuts. As the sharp burn line moves up the cigar an oil sheen develops on the wrapper, the body moves into the medium range and notes of sweet caramel join the flavor mix. 

In the final third, the body builds a bit more as this medium/full bodied Premier ends it's sixty-five minute burn with nuances of sweet toasty caramel. 

Overall I really enjoyed this stick. The flavors were smooth and tasty full length, the burn was sharp, plus the sixty-five minute burn was fantastic. I'm really looking forward smoking more of their great cigars.

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
