CX2 Robusto From CAO Cigars

The flavors and aromas that come from a Cameroon wrapper have made them one of my favorite wrappers for years now. With the combination of a Cameroon wrapper and binder this CX2 Robusto from CAO Cigars was a real treat to smoke.

Looking at the Colorado Claro colored wrapper we see it's oily, nearly vein free and rolled on with seamless care. The 5 x 52 Robusto is packed well full length and finished off with a triple cap.

From the cold cigar there are notes of sweet fermented tobacco to the nose, while the free draw contains nuances of spicy fruit.

Once the cigar is burning the first draws provide an ample amount of medium bodied smoke with rich flavors of toasty, sweet and spicy fermented tobacco. Further up the body more flavors join in. We find oak, more spice, hints of coffee and cocoa plus a bit of brown sugar. While the flavor mix isn't super complex, it is pretty darn tasty. The CX2 wraps up its fifty-five minute burn with a sweet, spicy and toasty finish.

In addition to the tasty flavor mix the CX2 had a razor sharp burn line full length and a nice oil sheen developed on the wrapper as the cigar turned to ash. This cigar is definitely a winner in my book.

You can find these online at Famous Smoke Shop in 5 packs for $24.99 or in boxes of 20 for just $88.99

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
