Fake Trinidad Fundadores

[traded]

There was a local B&M I used to go to that got a box of Trinidad Fundadores (actually a ziplock bag of sticks). I heard the story of how the guys got them and it was lame. They had no aroma and were of varying sizes and shapes. I saw them as fakos from the get go so i didnt purchase one. The guys gave me one for my wedding and I gave him the gracious song and dance. BTW: he was charging 60 usd per stick.

I had been avoiding smoking it but here we are.

aroma at cold is absent

first **** is very papery and powdery on the palate.

Second **** is the same

Third **** changes into a harsher version of the above...dirty paper?

anyhoo, very sad as I love Trinidad cigars...alas, no good.

I dont know whats up with the image....I can see it in my posting..

So I too have had variability in fundadores but i thought this one was well outside that range.

It also burned ridiculously fast...35-40 min for a stick that usually takes me 1.5 hrs.
