Trinidad esmeralda ( 12DCRC )

[DaBoot]

 Excellent example here of this cigar. Wrapper has great sheen, aroma is almonds, wood, leather.  
 1st third-  just wow!!! Not an edge on this smoke, the leather and wood at the forefront, Trinidad dna is muted to start. An almond paste trickling in and out, draw and construction is flawless to start

2nd third-  the wood is fading, leather is taking the lead. True Trinidad flavors. A lot lighter on body than a Reyes, and smooth as silk!! A solid medium at this point and not a touch over. Again wowed by the smoke output, and construction. Questioning if this is a Cuban?? Haha 

final third- the flavors are really coming to life now. For so young and after a quick rest I am quite impressed!! Medium body, smoked fast for the size at about an hour to the band. Clean smooth Trinidad. Really enjoyed an added almond and wood flavor I’m not used to in Trinidad. This cigar is special. Wishing the price point was better now, but worth every penny in my book. 
no touch ups, smoke was cool, not an edge or misplaced flavor, perfect burn. Top 3 stick of the year . Purchase if you can
