Trini Robusto Extra

[adamg]

Now I love Reyes & Coloniales but....................

for the price the RE is not at the same level. Just sat down after a bottle of good Bordeaux and sparked a RE up - disappointed to say the least! Where is the espresso/chocolate flavors I get from the Reyes?

Construction & draw excellent but where is the FLAVOUR?

Agree wholeheartedly. To me it is still one of the biggest disappointments. The initial release showed promise but I have had too many insipid examples to rate this as a good cigar. This is one blend that they need to tweak in order to transform it from a good to great cigar.

Wow..I thoght it was just me ! I have not smoked a good one yet. I would rather smoke a rolled up newspaper. Prez whats the chance of these dog rockets ever coming around ?

sAME HERE. I still have 3 boxes that will hopefully get better with time (05) This is my 2nd biggest disapointment with the Cohiba Siglo 6 as the 1st. Thats why I am very weary of the Ingenios ELs. If they are flavor bombs like the Reyes , then I will go for them

Bob I am not sure. I have serious doubts that they will evolve into a great cigar as I can't see anything in the base flavour or body which excites me. There is precious little depth or complexity. There is no nuance that I can hang my hat on in hope. I could be completely wrong and I hope that I am. If say the 2004/2005 Trinidad Robusto Extra show no development by 2010 I will sell off my private stocks.

This morning, I read the thread and now am smoking it.

This is the first time to smoke this vitola for me.

I guess It's a good cigar but doesn't have complexity so far.

(It's like coffee with too much milk. It means weak taste)

I can enjoy the rest of the box from 2006 though, I also think that It was too expensive for this taste.

I beleive I purchased it at about 200 Euro.

Same here. I have the initial release and they were under illed and nothing like I would have hoped for. This is one of those boxes I have fully regretted.

GOOD DESCRIPTION. This cigar is my most disappointment.

[Hugomarink]

Wow, I was considering trying some of these. Good to see this thread. Sounds like I can safely take these off my "must try" list and spend my money on more worthy smokes.

I have yet to try one and I don't think I will based on what others have had to say, but for Trinidads I always go back to the original....Fundadores
