trinidad coloniales 2016 (SSTRW)

[lovethehaze]

Purchased in 2016 not sure of box code was before I kept this info honestly.. and paired with a Maplewood Juice Pants 4/22/19 but honestly didn’t even drink much until  I was done b/c the cigar stole the show.

What a pleasant surprise ! Draw was amazing all the way throughout after I made a second cut, 1st cut was slightly tight and not as i prefer. The cigar was smooth and just over medium to me and was nubbed with delight  

Started Spicy and hay but balanced with cream moved into creamy hay, leather, wood and a hint of honey. Finished creamy and hay/grass.

I would say mostly creamy hay nothing totally amazing but a very solid great tasting cigar and the flavor lingers in ones mouth well after it’s smoked kind of a creamy Smokey hay/cedar/sweetness with a bit of spice.

Nice review and pics, thanks for sharing! Some beers pair really well with a cigar, seems the citrusy IPAs might be a good one given the recent OJ pairing. 

Agreed this one could have used some espresso, coffee, rum or maybe a slash of mash.  Not a lot of citrus flavors going on with this stick. But I never shun a solid ipa just enjoyed more post smoke. Lots for me to learn
