Joya De Nicaragua Celebracion Corona is Tasty by toiletoctopus Pros: Great Cigar, Flavor, Construction, Lighting Ability, Price
Cons: None Nicaragua is often forgotten about, in regards to countries that produce cigars. When you bring up stogies, everyone's mind almost always first goes to Cuba, because of the embargo, that makes these seem better than they really are. Actually some are, ...

Snickers Peanut Butter Santas –Taste like a Snickers Bar by Magick1 Pros: Tasty, good definition on santa, small, yet large enough flavor to satisfy a chocolate craving!
Cons: Only found these in a 6-pack package - calories per serving. My hubby went to the store to purchase items for a wooden Advent calendar that we have at home for the babester to count down to Christmas. He wanted to give our daughter some chocolates during the countdown to make the countdown fun, delicious and ...

Go for the Brunch or a Game; Good, Not Great by fishifishi Pros: Big menu selection, lots of TVs to watch sports (one in the ladies room!)
Cons: The food's not that great When I first moved into my neighborhood, I had occasionally visited a restaurant/bar/club establishment called Soho. About a year ago, it closed down, some renovations were done, and the space was reopened under the name Brighton Beer ...

Celestial Seasonings Chocolate Raspberry Bliss Tea by susiewho Pros: Delicious, great dessert tea
Cons: None I was actually drawn to this little box of Celestial Seasoning Tea because I thought it was a box of chocolates. As it turned out it was Chocolate tea! I had no clue there was such a thing! I am a confessed chocoholic so I had to give this a try. It ...

Martini and Rossi Sweet Vermouth, I've Enjoyed Vermouth Since I Was A Kid by popsrocks Pros: Easily available. One of the better sweet vermouth treats around
Cons: nothing worth mentioning When I was a child my grandfather would give the grand children a taste of Sweet Vermouth after dinner. I believe he thought it was good for the digestive system. He made it in the basement of his apartment building in Manhattan. From what I understand ...

A dry porter as a winter seasonal? by Chad9976 Pros: chocolate and coffee-like taste; richer than most porters
Cons: dry; liquor-like taste and harsh finish; heavy body Dark beer styles such as the bock or the porter lend themselves to a chocolate taste. However, chocolate without sugar or other sweeteners is a very bitter, dry flavor. This is probably why Stoudt’s Winter Ale comes up short as a satisfying winter ...

Lifesavers 5 Flavors Candy: Great Treats by toiletoctopus Pros: Great Flavors, Instrumental in smoking cessation, Right Size
Cons: Sugar, Some may have problems with biting them(they are hard candy) The only thing I don't like about Lifesavers 5 Flavors, is that each package, is an absolute pain to open. The tin foil ends are wrapped so tight, that you almost have to get a small knife to tear it open, to at least save you a bit of time ...

Going The Extra Mile To Fight Breast Cancer;No There Are Better Ways Than "Cranberry Pomegranate!" by wlswarts Pros: Purchasing raises money to fight breast cancer, No bad ingredients, Caffeinated
Cons: Lousy taste, Weak, No aroma, Environmentally irresponsible bulk. Sometimes, I suspect that companies I love do things to nab one market even as they mortgage another. So, for example, when I visited the Celestial Seasonings plant in Boulder, Colorado this summer and discovered some brand new tea flavors, I was ...

Tangy And Vaguely Fruity, "Margarita" Jelly Belly Jelly Beans Astonish With The Salt AFTER! by wlswarts Pros: Tastes all right, Environmentally responsible bulk
Cons: No real nutritional value Adults. We get to drink. Yeah, we get to drink, if we so choose. But one has to wonder where we get the instinct to drink. Is it from the media? Is it from our parents? Is it from the fact that most of us are raised with alcohol being a taboo ...

Different and Delicious by fishifishi Pros: This is a really nice wine, different but tasty all at once
Cons: It's over my daily budget Perusing the damaged label/miscellaneous end of bottle clearance stock at my local store, I happened upon some luck with this 2006 Elk Cove Pinot Noir. Marked down to $20 from $31, I figured there was no way I could pass it up. The wine ...

Essences Of The Orient: Flavors From The Jungle by countess_eva Pros: wonderful flavor

Boost Your Veggies with Indulgent Cheesy Pasta by fishifishi Pros: Good amount of vegetables, very yummy

Rosa Regale Wine - It's Delightful, Sweet and Tickled My Nose by Magick1 Pros: Wonderful scent, flavor and color, very good price!
Cons: Non really, unless you like a brut or bitingly dry wine or champagne instead. Well, the New Year is here, the old year is behind us. This time of year brings to mind that phrase, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future, today is special - that’s why it’s called a present”. I am not sure where that ...

Too Much Bland, Even The Organic Type Fails To Sell Me On "Organic Green Tea!" by wlswarts Pros: Caffeinated, Good ingredient, Environmentally responsible production (organic)
Cons: Doesn't taste like much of anything..., Dry aftertaste, Environmentally irresponsible bulking I am very much for saving the environment and I like the theory behind organic foods. All natural production is a good thing and a company like Celestial Seasonings is one I trust to actually live up to their promise when they make the claim that ...

The Creeper Will Creep Up On You by Bruguru Pros: Lots of complex flavor, a hybrid beer that really works.
Cons: Very, very limited production. This isn't the first time I've said it, but craft brewers definitely are catching on to the fickle nature of the beer connoisseur. Ironically enough, their bread and butter is often the brand-loyal local drinker who prefers a flavorful brew but is rather ...

Cons: Cork useless once bottle is opened; Might be too light for true champagne lovers Celebration and sparkling wine go hand in hand, and while I don't generally consume much wine, I almost always partake in a little bubbly when the clock strikes twelve on December 31. This year is no different, but instead of consuming something brand ...

Raspberry brown ale: original or gimmicky? by Chad9976 Pros: rich, robust, roasty taste plus raspberry; smooth finish; medium body
Cons: raspberry flavor is a little too strong and seems a bit gimmicky When I think of fruit-themed beers I tend to think of summer, casual, and/or light beers. Winter beers tend to be heavier, richer beers so how can they properly incorporate fruit? Otter Creek Winter Ale attempts to do so by combining raspberry with a ...

Beats Subway and Quizno's Hands Down! by chessplayer  Pros: Cappy ham, turkey, soup in the winter, overall flavor, 3 sizes of subs.
Cons: Potato chip choices, cold subs not as good as hot ones. Jersey Mike's subs entered our market area several years ago. They are SO much better than any other sub chain. First, they have more GOOD choices for meats, like cappy ham, that you just can't get at any other chain. They don't skimp ...
