Trinidad La Trova RAG Feb 2018 (TVQVRW)

[Riverstyx]

I've only smoked a couple of these, and the other two were excellent examples.  This one was no different.  From the beginning, there was a gentle cream.  For a fresh cigar, the retrohale was surprisingly gentle.  I'd say the whole stick was mid-bodied.  

As it progressed I got more cream and some cedar.  Maybe some nuts, and some bread.  Smoothe, though.  I will have to say the first third was the best, though.  It progressively got worse, although it could have been that I was with mates and not focusing on my smoking and thus overheated the cigar.  It wasn't bad, just not nearly as good as the first third.  Overall, it was a great smoke but I can't wait to see how they progress.  If the rest of the cigar ends up as good as the first third, it will be amazing.  Already, I'd score this one a 93.
