MoFoh Robusto Trinity (FFSDec24)

[Ford2112]

I just won a bundle of these. Burned through a bunch last year. 

I am sitting here in the fish bus and having coffee and a cigar. I am on my second cup, it's been raining now off and on for a couple days. I may go hunt for porcinis later if I feel up to it. I haven't been feeling all that hot of late.

Halfway through this thing it amazes me that a cigar at this price point is as good as any out there, and I mean that. It reminds me of a cross between a Monte and a Padron, maybe a bit milder than Padron. It definitely has its own DNA.  A bit of bready sweetness, some cocoa notes ,toasted tobacco.  

Not a lot of evolution which is fine by me! These are cigars I could smoke every day. No boxes, no bands, no bullshit! Also no running, no relights, no touch ups and no edges. 

I can't say enough about Fabrica 5. I have yet to be disappointed. The Ninfas are my favorite. These are a close close second. 

My honest review is I would put these up against any new world Robusto out there (if you can find Robustos). Top shelf!

I really want to love these and the Canonazo, but I have yet to have a great one. Most have been sharp and spicy, then turn bitter at the halfway mark. My experience is so wildly different from other members that I've been scratching my head trying to figure out the problem. It dawned on me that my cigars were stored in an unheated part of the house, which can dip to 50F in the wintertime. Perhaps this was drying out my cigars too much? I've moved my sticks upstairs where it stays closer to 70F, so I'm hoping better times are in store.    

Thoughts?

That very well could be. I would definitely let them acclimate for the time being. Could be your personal tastes too,but I find it hard to believe anyone could not like these. I say give them another shot. What is your RH? Are they in a tupperdor? Boveda packs?

[mwaller]

I store my NC cigars in large gasketed storage tubs with 69% Boveda packs.

Yep. Regulate that temp and you should be happy. Maybe.

I agree with your review. Mine are now just over 7 months in the Humi and they get better every time I grab one. As you said not a lot of evolution but doesn't really need it when it has those great flavors. I compare them to a cross between a Monte 2 and a SCdlH Principe. One of the things I've noticed is that past 6 months they are very smooth and the flavors are more subtle but still there. Trinity's usually last me well past an hour and 15 so I grab them a little less than the Spada Gordas or the Marevas. 

Besides, every time I reach for a Trinity - I think of...
