Private Selection Maduro Toro By Cuban Stock Cigars

It's been awhile since I've reviewed a cigar from Cuban Stock Cigars, but they have a great line that I've really enjoyed in the past. Today we look at The Private Selection Maduro Toro. 

The Private Selection line comes with two wrapper choices, Connecticut and Dominican Maduro. On CubanStockCigars.com they describe this cigar as mild. Well here we have a difference of opinion. Read on and find out why. 

Construction of the Private Selection is exquisite. From the striking blue, yellow and gold band to the practically vein free maduro colored wrapper the cigar just looks like it needs to be smoked. The blemish free Dominican maduro wrapper is rolled on with seamless care, the cigar is packed well full length and it's finished off with a nice triple cap. 

Aromas from the cold cigar are rich and hearty. From the cold foot there are notes of rich fermented tobacco with a hint of ripe fruit, while the flavor from the free cold draw is reminiscent of sweet molasses. 

Once the foot is toasted and burning the first puffs have medium/full bodied flavor notes of earth, brown sugar and cocoa with a slightly dry finish that leaves behind a sweet aftertaste. As the fairly even burn line moves up the cigar's body the wrapper starts to develop an oily gloss that continues to build until the nub. 

Around the mid point more flavors of oak and cream jump into the mix as the strength builds into the full range. 

By time you're into the final third, you'll know this is a full bodied cigar. The Private Selection maduro toro finishes its fifty-five minute burn with an overall sweet flavor mix consisting of ripe fruit, charcoal, brown sugar and cocoa. A very tasty finish by my standards.

Overall I thought the Private Selection Maduro Toro By Cuban Stock Cigars provided a high quality and rewarding smoking experience. With the combination of its top of the line construction, a nice burn time and a great flavor mix this cigar is a winner in my book!

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
