Trinidad Robusto T

[Joker]

Picked up a couple of these few months ago with an order from the Mix & Match Premium Sampler - first taste of a Trinidad

Pre light - beautiful wrapper, firm / no soft spots, light draw

1/3 - damp straw / earth with slight spice on the palette

2/3 - honeycomb / burning well

3/3 - toast / increase in spice level but not harsh

Superb physcial properties ie. construction / burn / plumes of smoke

Medium strength

However at this price point, was expecting a lot more in the flavour profile.

Prefer the RASS or even SLR Regio

Are the Trinidad Reyes similar in flavour to the Robusto T ?? - any comments appreciated.

Happy smoking

Thanks for the review and photos. I have been meaning to pick some of these up for a while now... might just get a 10 pack this week.

Once you have tried one, I would be interested in reading your review.

I certainly will try this cigar again, as I have read so many great reviews of this cigar.

As you know ones pallate changes over time as does the flavour profile of cigars.

Thanks for the review....what a great cigar for me.

Appreciate the review. Very well constructed and performing cigar. Flavor profile is solid, but I personally prefer the taste of other Robustos at the moment. Like everything, that can change with time!

Sorry to hear your experience was not up to par. Personally, the Robusto T is my favorite vitola in the Trinidad line up right now. For me following it would be the Reyes and then the Funadores. While I agree with you that the Trini marca is expensive relative to most other marcas...it is an exceptional cigar that I continue to enjoy fairly regularly. I find the three vitolas I mentioned to be well worth the money spent.
