La Aurora Cigars Puro Vintage 2006 Edicion III Aniversario Salomon

Gobs of smoke, over-the-top construction, a nice burn time and a sweet fermented tobacco flavor mix, what more can you ask for in a cigar? Well that's just what I found smoking this La Aurora Cigars Puro Vintage 2006 Edicion III Aniversario Salomon.

This La Aurora Puro Vintage 2006 Edicion III Aniversario Salomon is a pretty special cigar. All the tobacco leaves in the blend were harvested in 2006 and production was limited to 1500 numbered 1906 replica boxes. 

Looking at the overall construction, it's very nice. The Colorado Maduro colored wrapper is rolled on seamlessly and there are only the finest of veins present. The cigar is packed well full length and the combination of an Ecuadorian wrapper, Brazilian binder over Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian fillers produce a pleasant aroma of spicy fermented tobacco from the cold foot. 

After clipping the end, the free cold draw again has notes of well fermented spicy tobacco, but there are added hints of sweet tree fruit.

Once the cigar was burning the first medium body mouthfuls of smoke, and I mean mouthfuls, had notes of toast and lightly spicy fermented tobacco, plus the smoke left behind a nice spicy aftertaste. As the razor sharp burn progressed, the strength moved into the full range with added nuances of brown sugar, tree fruit, oak, earth, wheat straw and more toast. 

The cigar finished it's sixty-five minute burn with a flavor mix of oak, caramelized brown sugar, earth and a hint of charcoal. It was a pretty tasty finish.

Overall this La Aurora Puro Vintage 2006 Edicion III Aniversario Salomon was a great smoking experience.

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
