Trinidad Reyes *first review*

[agentdaffy007]

First review here. I had to. LoL

I got myself a nice box of 24 Trinidad Reyes. What a lovely cigar. Every cigar i tried in this box except for the first one has been stellar. Especially the one i smoked today before working. Box code is from OUR NOV 08.

This will be a quick review since i am still at work writing this.

Construction: No soft spots, spongy but not too much. 10/10

Draw: Perfect draw. Usually, i like Robusto size since they make tons of smoke but wow, this little cigar was a nice surprise. Even more smoke than a Robusto. 10/10

Flavour:

1/3: wood chips, sweet cedar

2/3: sweet hay, very little spice (very hard to distinguish)

3/3: nougat? sweet cherry? couldn't tell since i had to put it out. Work was calling me. 10/10 (yes, it was that good)

I wish i had more time to finish this cigar, oh well, still have 20 to go.

This cigar along with HdM Petit Robusto from 2005 and Monte#4 from 2008 are my favorites. Remember, age these cigars and they will treat you well.

Sounds great. I just recently got an HQ box from Czar's of these exact same Reyes, with the same date/factory code. I'm looking forward to this box even more now - thanks! Great review too - keep 'em coming!

I've generally been impressed with the Trinidads especially from the last couple of years, the Robusto T has to take the robusto cake for my money.

When they first came out, i remember people thinking that this was a high-brow knock-off of Cohibas to squeeze more money out of us. But now it's quite the staple for many aficionados.

Nice review and one of my favorite small smokes!

Canuck: You will love these cigars. Write a review once you've tried one. Wondering if they will taste exactly like mine. I paired mine with a Coke and it was delicious. I read somewhere that Coke + hints of lime was the way to go.

Aizuddin: I am desperately trying to get those Trinidad Robusto T from Cuba but it seems like no one has them...

Thanks Daffy. Yeah, I have a bottle of "Real Lime" in the fridge at all times - I find Bacardi white with Coke just goes perfectly with a hit of lime. My darker rums, like HC Anejo 7 Anos, just stays with a splash of Coke (don't want the lime interferring with that one!).

With the Trini T's, they've popped up from time to time on the LFTH threads. Keep your eyes peeled. I have a request in to Lisa for any HQ/PSP that show up, but if you message her, she can put you on her "list" also maybe.
