Trin Reyes. 2019. Unknown code (s46rw)

Today’s “tiny cigar” as a buddy calls them is a Trin Reyes. I actually split this box w him six months or so ago and he has been smoking them. I had one and put them away. A tiny review weekend so let’s pull one out 

he kept the box so code is at his house. 

Yes I know the pigtail is there for an easy opening. I have a nice v cutter which I prefer. Draw was actually hard. Thought about the perfecdraw but opted not to quite yet. 

 

Wrapper was interesting to me. Dark w a touch of oil but pronounced veins that almost looked bleached. For those in the states they looked like a more refined “backwoods smoke”. 

 

Cigar was at 65rh but resisted a gentle lighting w a toasting. 

 

Still young and whiff of mongrel at the start that took me my surprise. It settled down quickly. Notes of chocolate a bit of earth (references flavor wheel) lightly toasted wheat bread. Crazy long aftertaste lingering and tingling in the first third. Also getting some heavier nicotine. 

 

Paired w a Modelo lager after some morning painting. 

 

Not much movement at the start of the second third. Still a fun date though. Silky smoke. Long aftertaste like a light coffee marzipan. I usually hate marzipan but here it is quite enjoyable. 

 

Still waiting for the dirt. None yet. 

 

Final third. Well the cigar had hard time staying lit. I got frustrated and ended a bit early. Taste was good but not further development. 

 

I always expect so much from Trins so perhaps that’s why meeting expectations is so hard. A good cigar. But I’m still thinking about that Monte Petit Tubos I had yesterday.
