How Are Trinidad Reyes Smoking?

[ethernomad]

Anyone bought a box of Reyes recently? I've heard they were sublime in years past. Never tried one personally, but interested...

I got a couple of boxes from 2010 recently - great cigars

My '13 box was soso at about 1 year after box date got a bit better 6 month later, turning point was at about 2 years.

Very enjoyable now.

I'm very positive on the further development and time will tell how they progress.

Never had a bad one.

I like 'em.

Wife is smoking out of a box from 14 purchased in cuba last year. Most have been good to great but one or two duds.

Bought a box of Reyes, Coloniales and Fundadores from our host. The Fundies. are the oldest ones and they are smoking very good

bought last quarter of 2014 with box code of; MSE JUN 11. Coloniales bought 3/25/15 and they are a little rough around the

edges need 6 - 12 mnths to get better. The Reyes have been the best right out of the box. Same as Coloniales bought

them 3/25/15 but they are way better in taste then Coloniales at this point in time. Reyes box code is ----2014.

I'm assuming they don't show up on the daily/weekend deals because of quality issues. Would these currently not be the safest bet to buy blind?

Yeah Rob has specifically mentioned a few times how poorly most of his stock of Trinidad have looked in recent years. I think he may have actually pegged the Reyes and the RyJ Short Churchill as perhaps the 2 riskiest sticks to buy blind right now. I got a 12 box from a different vendor before finding this paradise called FoH and must have gotten lucky because they are dynamite. May '14 box and smoking great. Great morning smokes.

Agree with the others, good cigars. Really enjoy these!

Great morning smoke is bang on.
