Popular Post Habana Mike Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Posted September 16, 2019 This weekend's theme prompted me to go deep into the dark recesses of my cabinet and pull out my last remaining box of Trini Robo X. It's been some time since I smoked the last as I'll likely not find more in future. At least not for under a princely sum. Decided since I was breaking into these I'd crack my last bottle of Santiago 11 to accompany. The cigar is perfectly constructed and sports a silky Colorado wrapper. Draw just to my preference, Not too snug and not too easy. Goldilocks. Graham cracker and hay on the pre-light. The cigar is rich and smooth on light. Slightly herbal, creamy, biscuit and vanilla bean. Medium bodied. Good smoke production. The rum is smooth and spicy, not too sweet. Hints of butterscotch, a little hot. Almost right up in my wheelhouse. Pacto Navio hits it dead on. Getting some nutmeg, a touch of salt. Spot on performance-wise. The rum is rich and strong, slightly astringent. Works well with the cigar. The combination rings me back to evenings on Hector's patio last April. The cigar finishes like a vanilla Oreo. Cream, vanilla, slightly sweet biscuit. From recent experience the Robusto T has hung in better at this age. Still a 90+ cigar. 90+ rum as well. Glad a handful of the Extras left. Hope I can find more of the 11 next time on island, though I'll definitely be bringing back a few bottles of Pacto Navio for sure. And out..... 13
