Mia Dora Corona from Emilio Cigars

Smoking the Mia Dora Corona you'll find a complex flavor mix ranging from spicy and sweet to earthy. Couple complex flavors with top notch construction and you have one nice smoke.

My first opportunity to smoke the Mia Dora was last year as a pre-release toro and it was an impressive cigar.

The Mia Dora Corona from Emilio Cigars starts with a seamless Colorado Claro colored Habano Rosado wrapper covering a Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Visually inspecting the cigar there only small veins visible in the wrapper, the wrapper has a nice oily gloss and it's finished with a triple cap.

Checking the cold cigar for aromas and flavors there are notes of spicy sweet tea from the foot and the free draw tastes like spicy tea mixed with fruit. After toasting the foot the first flavors were a mix of medium/full bodied spice mixed with fruit. The spice quickly mellowed, as did the body, when flavors of black tea and fermented tobacco moved in. Soon to follow were notes of brown sugar, toast, cedar, a hint of black pepper, and sweet nutty pecans. With a flavor mix of peaty earth, toast and caramel the Mia Dora finished it's fifty minute burn in the medium body range.

Rated 94

I'd like to thank House of Emilio for providing this sample.

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
