Trinidad Media Luna - SOU JUL 20 (JBWP5RW)

[Superhans]

First time properly trying the Media Luna and unsure what to expect - love the Esmeralda and Coloniales but never really had a decent Vigia and the Reyes is too small for my liking.

 

1/3 draw is excellent and wish all cigars had a pigtail cap. Initial puffs are supremely smooth but quite mild. Flavours are exactly what I like from Trinidad - coffee, nuts, and a pleasant bready note. 

2/3 flavours amp up. Darker coffee and oak. Tangy sweet citrus type flavour (that I often find in Trinidad cigars but can never properly define) comes and goes. Bit of spice.

3/3 same as second third but does get a bit charred at times. Finishes strong. Bags of flavour and a great sized cigar.

 

Paired with a fruity IPA but would probably have gone better with a coffee, whiskey or brandy.

 

All in a very good cigar and look forward to trying again in a few months.

 

92 - far better than the Vigia but just short of the Esmeralda. Probably strongest of the bunch.
