Sabor de Esteli Robusto by Guayacan Cigars

Superb construction and a complex flavor mix contributed to a great overall smoking experience from this Sabor de Esteli Robusto by Guayacan Cigars.

Construction of the Sabor de Esteli is nothing short of top notch. A binder and fillers from Nicaragua are wrapped in a Colorado colored San Andreas wrapper that's nearly vein free.

From the cold foot there are light notes of fruit to the nose while the free cold draw has notes of sweet fruit. 

Once burning the first medium bodied puffs were flavorful with a mix of toast, mild tree fruit and light brown sugar. As the burn progressed up the body more flavors jumped in. There were hints of white pepper, nuts, cocoa, oak and espresso.

In the final third the body moves into the full range and the cigar finishes it's fifty minute burn with nice notes of fermented tobacco, toast, caramel and a sweet lingering aftertaste on the palate.

Overall this Sabor de Esteli Robusto was a real treat to smoke. If you have the chance to pick on up, don't pass it up.

Amazing Camacho Facebook Post

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
