Popular Post havanaclub Posted December 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have sampled a few of these from different box codes so I was excited to smoke this to see what another 6 months or so have done for this cigar. My first la Trova blew me away, it was from a different box, much darker and oily wrapper, but same box code and date. I decided to put those away to age. This sample was from a slightly lighter Colorado claro box. Aroma at cold was very light spices. Not as pungent as my darker/oily samples. Draw was excellent, not tight at all and produced volumes of smoke. The construction was excellent and did not require any touch ups. This was sitting in my “drybox” desktop at 59-60rh for a month or so. 1st: woody, spices and some coffee notes. Mild to medium strength. 2nd: the burn and construction was excellent, the classic Trinidad doughy/coffee notes did pick up but not nearly as much as my first la Trova (the dark/oily sample). I was looking forward to this but it didn’t come to the forefront. This sample seemed to be a lot more spicy. Some sour notes. Woody, coffee, spice. 3rd: light coffee notes with some earthy notes. Interesting transitions, something I did not recall detecting in my first la Trova I had. Certainly not disappointing. These cigars are very classy, complex and full flavour while not being too strong, right in my wheelhouse. Rated 94.

ElJavi76 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Glad you enjoyed this Brent. I've only had one mediocre Trova ever. The thing was a wind tunnel but it was an outlier and not the norm. I agree... This is a classy stick with some legs. We'll see in the short term if any of the new Trinidad vitolas can match its beauty. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
