Trinidad Coloniales - RAG AGO 17 (SSSTRW)*

[TheCigarslayer]

So I will say this was a bit of a somber smoke for me. I had just put down the family cat about an hour prior and decided a toast to life was in order. 

 

It was was light cedary in the first third. Bits of cream. Into the 2nd third the coffee built a bit. Cedar, cream and floral notes danced in and out. Last third was black coffee forward but that may have been me over puffing. Overall it was quite a smooth cigar. Reminded me a bit of that LgC RE I had a week or so ago. 

90/100

Only recently got into these so the oldest I have is 2018.  It has been one of the best cigars I have had this year.  People here think 2018 wasn't a good year for them, but I disagree!

I feel your pain brother.  My 18 year old cat is days/weeks away from passing on.  At least it is from old age.  Pretty much sleeping 23 hours a day now and not eating much.  Hopefully she just falls asleep forever peacefully.

We were lucky it was super fast. From healthy and happy to the last day in under a week. 

 

To the cigar it was pretty good. Not knocking off my socks like my fundys but right up there as a "can't lose" cigar.

This resonated with me as well.  My cat will be 18 this year.  She's doing well, but sooner or later I'll have to come to terms with the fact that you can't keep them forever.  Deepest condolences ?. 

On a brighter note, glad to hear the Coloniales are treating you well .  The fundies and reyes have been hitting it out of the park for me lately. 

Cheers!
