Trinidad Vigia 2018 (TVQVRW)

[Wilzc]

Yes I know...

I tend to throw away the boxes before I record the box codes...  but I do remember these are from 2018. Boxes are too bulky and adds clutter in the humidor. I've just laid them all to age in a bigger box! lmao!

 

Trinidad for me, especially the Reyes and Vigia, are a classy yet almost 'mysterious' range of cigars. They swing widely in terms of flavor profile, at least to me. I have difficulties in pin pointing the exact marca flavors but somehow they're still distinctively Trinidad!

 

This one today is on the 'brighter' side of things. No hint of chocolate or earthy terroir at all. Some coffee, some dried grass. Great draw! wrapper burn line is turning jet black with a sheen on it. Normally this means trouble to the burn performance . Still no problem so far, wavy but not bad. Did i mention cookie dough coming through?

 

And inch down, flavors are getting tastier! nuts, some caramel along with the coffee, dough and dried grass. Wood notes also appear, but sort of in and out. There is also this..  very light spice element accompanied by that Cuban twang profile along with almond meal or something that just reminds me this is a Cuban Trinidad. Construction remains okaaay with some OCD touch ups required. Nothing major. Picture above has been touched up! the burn line isn't thaat great actually!

Final 3rd. My least fav spot on a cigar! It means shit is about to end!  it also means things usually get darker and mustier. Which it did! bitter caramel, bitter nuts. Damp wood and fresh grass. Draw also got pretty damn tight at this point. I find myself pulling out inches of leaves from the middle of the cigar.

Final Smoke Time: 60mins

Final Thoughts: 88-91 rated cigar. Could be better. Could be worse. Great accompaniment though!
