ChanceSchmerr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Was posting about these in another thread, and figured it deserved it's own.... The Trinidad Short Robusto T LE - does anyone smoke these, care about these, enjoy these, whatsoever? I remember hear of Rob's disdain for them on a Vid review a while ago.....has anyone given them a chance at all? Is there a point to them? My strongest cigar memory of Malta while deployed in 2011 was going to the largest CIgar vendor in the Country, and going into his Walk-in Humidor - and marvelling at the hundreds of Short Robusto T Boxes on the shelves (more of them than any other vitola) gathering dust. When I asked the vendor if anyone was buying them, he shook his head sadly..... Anyone like these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Never tried one and never planning on, they are the same price as a Cohiba Lancero/Robusto here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactochris Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I like Trinidad's quite a bit but have not yet had the chance to sample a Short Robusto T. They don't seem like much of a bargain. I think that's part of the reason why they are a slow seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Had a few. Good stick but too short for the premium being charged.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw15825 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No, only the Robusto Never tried one and never planning on, they are the same price as a Cohiba Lancero/Robusto here Same here, I stocked on the Robusto Ts when they were on sale. On one trusted site the Short Rob LE is over 18.50 U.S. a stick(box price). Coro can be had for a little over 13 and Lanceros for under 16 U.S. each (box price) Beside, I have never seen a good review at all for these.

ajgagnon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 My dad has a box of these. Dark (basically maduro), short, and pretty decent. Maybe he lucked out. However, I can see that folks don't love them, as they are in that dark chocolate, dark cedar profile that has been done a lot lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I love the Trini Robusto T...smoked a few of the Trini Short Robusto Ts when I was in Mexico. Hated each and every one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Shelling out the money for the Short Robusto T doesn't make any sense when you have great EL's like the HU Mag 48. I'd opt for the Robusto T, especially if you can find an '09 or '10 box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrims Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 never had one but certainly agree in terms of price/rip off value it seemed to be an all time "high". I like Trini though Reyes and Fundadores esp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer14 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had one, which doesnt give me much clout to comment on them, but I didnt find anything special or even a 'Gee, I'd like another one of these" so I never did have a second nor ever bought another. And I wasnt factoring in the price when I was rating it in my head, but seeing the cost, I don't understand how they could sell very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkSmokeGolf Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not a fan! It's odd because the Robusto T is a great, great cigar. Did a review awhile ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The price is so beyond ridiculous that I will never, ever, support this. If they drop by 50%, I'll give them a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upmann2009 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The short robusto T is a very good smoke if don't take the price tag into account. I would it it 90-91 now but of course there is a better value for money stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydra Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got 6 boxes of the trini T's and 3 of the fundadores, great cigars, though expensive. tried one short T and that's all i needed to never go near another one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
