Rocky Patel Prohibition San Andreas

With a toasty cocoa flavor mix, top notch construction and a nice burn time, this Prohibition, San Andreas is another winner from Rocky Patel. Let's take a closer look and find out why.

I picked this cigar up from Cigar Train a while back and just picked up the Broadleaf the other day so I'll review it soon.

This Prohibition is covered by a stout, toothy and oily maduro colored San Andreas wrapper. Checking aromas from the foot there's a nice note of cocoa, while the free draw has nuances of oak combined with spicy cedar.

Once the cigar is toasted and burning there are initial medium bodied flavors of cocoa and leather. As the burn progresses nuances of spicy cedar, toast and toasted nuts join in.

The burn's a bit wavy in the first half, but it corrects itself by the midpoint and the second half has lots and lots of chocolate in the flavor mix. The Rocky Patel Prohibition San Andreas finishes its sixty-five minute burn with my favorite flavor of burnt mocha mixed with toast.

Overall I really enjoyed this San Andreas and I'm excited to give the Broadleaf version a spin. Try this stick out, I think you'll like it too.

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
