Trinidad Vigia ARS SEP 2019 (49NRW)

[Benson]

Cigar is a little squishy, and the draw is very open

First draws are very light bodied, cedar and then a bit of leather left behind.

The first third continues on much like that, big volume on smoke production but not a lot on flavor. Seems very underfilled compared to the last box I had.

No real flavor change through the second third, just a small building of cedar and leather with the occasional almost salty twang coming in.

Burn has been a bit uneven and has required several touch ups.

Final third has a bit of signature Trini bread joining the mix but not much.

While I did enjoy smoking this Vigia, I have to blame its muted flavor on just being underfilled. This is the first out of this box so here’s hoping i get some firmer draws on the others.
