FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Trinidad Media Luna BSM Nov 2019

2019 has seen the release of three new additions to the Trinidad line-up; the Media Luna, the Esmeralda and the Topes. The Media Luna is a Marinas size with a 50 ring gauge x 115mm (or 4½ inch) length. "Media Luna" is the name of the Hostel with an important architectonic value located in the street of the same name in the city of Trinidad.

This smoked similarly to the Media Luna I enjoyed a month ago. It had the distinctive premium, rich butter pastry, coffee, dough and wood flavours which have characterised all three new Trinidad releases, in my opinion. Again, I had to savour it and smoke it slow; this was not a cigar to rush in any way. I smoked it after a hearty meal, catching up with a close friend I had not seen since the start of 2020 due to the worldwide Covid-19 outbreak, which has obviously affected us all.

I gave him one too from this box and he was effervescent in singing its praises. He offered me some Springbank 15 whisky to pair with it espousing the coconut and honey qualities of the drink as a perfect compliment to the rich and savoury Media Luna we were both smoking. Indeed, it was a fine pairing.

Comparisons are readily made to the Topes and Esmeralda when discussing the Media Luna. In my mind, the other two may be said to be better only because they last longer as a quality smoke.

Petit Cazadores. For 2/stick not bad at all. Plenty of twang and coffee along with some bitterness. Def med to med full; cheap and cheerful special

Very nice! I love the Club Allones and enjoyed the Superiores I smoked recently but have not had a chance to try the Beritus.  As a whole I enjoy the marca though.  Too bad the Superiores didn't hit the spot though, especially with that much time resting.  

I love the RA marca. Good value in regular production, very consistent flavour profile, built to age and rarely disappoints

I may try another 2012 Superiores this week to see if I was just off. Hopefully a one off as I bought a few boxes of these from 2010 to 2012.

TPO DIC 18 Rio Seco. Just starting to come around. I dried this out on the counter for a few days and it seemed to help. I wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about these fresh. My first 2 were harsh. This one is much better and medium full. Much different than an epi2.
Cheers

BBF. Quickly becoming my favorite cigar. It’s the one I grab when I don’t have anything else in mind as it always satisfies.

A random Custom Cuban closed foot corona with this mornings Nespresso.  Origin of the stick is somewhat unknown although its supposed to be a Reynaldo.  Construction is spot on to his craftsmanship although a bit on the milder side versus his normal rolls.  I know he tends to have a few strength levels now and this is similar to his lighter shade robustos that i've picked up there before.  Earth tones like dried hay and clean tobacco, slight cedar and a buttered white toast finish.  Perfect smoke to start to the day.  

 

Tatuaje Nuevitas Jibaro No. 1 for this afternoons smoke.  These have been great since they came out a couple years back.  Medium body - dark roasted coffee and leather with an almost salted McDonalds french fry note that lingers on the retro.

BBF- one of the stars of 2019, a cigar that I had not enjoyed until this past year, now I can’t keep my hands off them.
