Trinidad Fundadores ARS JUN 19 (SSSTRW)

[nKostyan]

This is a Christmas sampler's cigar.

1/3: a good start: a decent amount of smoke and a light cedar-nutty spicy taste. Dry mouth, so I took some Sherry, but it's not a pair, but rather just an occasional mouth refresh. Low body, so in the first third frequent puffs. The ash is almost perfect.

2/3: pleasant soft taste without evolution, pleasant aftertaste, nothing more to add . Around the middle, the cigar added power: it became stronger and higher in the body. The taste is very balanced, almost rounded. There is a citrus freshness on the tongue.

3/3: a powerful Cuban refreshing mix. It burns very slowly, the longest third.

Conclusion: despite fast smoking, I spent about 1.5 hours. I don't often smoke such formats, but I like it - a nice, elegant cigar. One of the disadvantages is the weakness in the first half and the lack of a clear evolution of tastes. Against this background, Nudie no.1 looks very decent.

The cigar is really selected in such a way that I do not see any reason to expect it to age - “bought&smoke”. In general, I am ready to give this cigar a rating of 4/5 stars, but I do not share the general excitement.

Shame.  I'm new to them but I've been really impressed by the 2019 Fundies.  They never seem to last long enough no matter much slow smokin' savouring I apply.  I say give 'em another shot before casting your final verdict.

I tried aged ones (that were with ammonia and tannin in youth), they were clearly more powerfull.
