ARTURO FUENTE CHATEAU FUENTE MADURO ROTHSCHILD

Believe it or not but this is not only the first A. Fuente cigar I've reviewed it's the first I've ever smoked. Why? I don't really know, but I did discover that at $4.95 a pop (if you buy them by the box from Famous Smoke Shop) I've been missing out on a really tasty cigar.

Quick Details

Shape: Rothschild 4 1/2 x 50

Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro

Under the cedar sleeve of this Arturo Fuente Rothschild you'll find it wrapped in a hearty and stout looking dark maduro colored wrapper. From the cold foot there's a faint aroma of cocoa to the nose and once the triple cap is cut you'll find a smooth even draw with notes of spicy cocoa.

Once the cigar was burning the first mouthfuls of medium bodied smoke were smooth with notes of cocoa, spice and a hint of fruit. As the slightly uneven burn progressed up the body, nuances of earth, oak and leather dominated the mix. By the final third the burn had straightened out and the cigar finished still in the medium body range with nice flavor mix of sweet, creamy cocoa, a bit of charcoal.

Overall this Arturo Fuente Maduro Rothschild really surprised me with its great tasting flavor mix and nice fifty minute burn time. I highly recommend this cigar and you can pick them up from FamousSmokeShop.com in five packs or boxes of 20.

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
