ROMEO Añejo Robusto by Romeo y Julieta

Top notch construction, a hearty Connecticut Broadleaf vintage 2010 wrapper, plus big medium/full bodied flavor notes of espresso and chocolate. Does this sound like great cigar to you? It does to me. Read on and see how it smoked out.

On my last visit to Cigar Train I noticed a box of ROMEO Añejo Robusto by Romeo y Julieta so I plucked one from the box and brought it home. In hindsight I should have grabbed a couple more.

Construction of this cigar is just what you'd expect from RyJ. It's seamless, the thick maduro colored wrapper has a couple of medium veins, but its packed well full length and topped with a tight triple cap.

Checking the cold aromas, the foot has a nice spicy fermented tobacco aroma while the free and airy cold draw has delicious notes of fruity chocolate.

Once the foot was toasted and burning the first draws contained notes of earth and cocoa. As the slightly wavy burn moved up the body there were some fruity floral flavors, a bit of oak, chocolate and some espresso. Very tasty!

The Añejo Robusto finished its fifty-five minute burn with satisfying flavor mix of burnt mocha, a dash of black pepper and a bit of oak.

With a smorgasbord of vintage tobaccos, Romeo y Julieta delivers another winner that fits my palate extremely well. Like I said earlier, I should have grabbed a couple more of these just to smoke.

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
