CAO Cigars Angry Santa

Here's the forth installment of the "Holiday Series" from CAO Cigars, Again this is a cigar I picked up from Cigar Train my favorite local cigar shop.

So far I'm really enjoying this holiday series from CAO and the Angry Santa is no exception. Based on the Traviata, the Angry Santa is 6 x 52 and like the others, production was limited to 1500 boxes of 14 cigars.

To begin it's covered with an oily, seamless, Colorado Maduro colored wrapper that's nearly vein free. Once toasted and burning there are big notes of medium bodied sweet cocoa that hit your taste buds right up front. The cocoa is soon followed up by nuances of toast, nuts, oak, caramel and some brown sugar.

The burn was razor sharp full length and a nice oily gloss developed on the wrapper just above the burn. After seventy-five minutes of enjoyable smoking the Angry Santa finished with nice flavors of caramel and oak.

So far I've really enjoyed this series of cigars, but I'm sad to say there's only one more cigar to go.

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
