Trinidad Robusto Extra

[Rogers72]

It seems as though I have heard very few positive remarks about this cigar. Having recently fallen head over heels for the Reyes, I want to love this cigar as I generally prefer the size of the RE. However, I can't even bring myself to buy just one to try after some remarks I've heard here and other places. Is the current stock still as disappointing as it has been in the past or are the examples from the past few years coming around any? I would love a current review or two if anyone has any sitting around:-D

I absolutely love the Reyes and Coloniales, but the RE is a real disappointment. It's not a bad cigar by any means, but bearing in mind the cost and the gorgeous flavor of its cousins, the RE doesn't warrant the money.

It is just too bland!!!!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I have always loved every cigar in the Trinidad lineup, including the Robusto Extra. If you like the Reyes, no reason for you not to try the RE.

I found them to be very disappointing and have laid the remaining ones I have down and will try them in a few more years.

It is a conundrum. . .

I agree with some of the earlier comments. I have about 20 left from 2 boxes of 06, and the 4 that I have smoked have been uneventful in the flavour department.

I have them on hiatus for a few years and will try again.

Unfortunately, as I love the Trinidad Marca, the RE has done nothing but disappoint. The Reyes is a fantastic tasting cigar, the Fundadore a Classic and the Coloniales a very nice cigar. I have sampled the Robusto Extra almost a dozen opportunities with all kinds of age and have yet to smoke one that has done a think for me. I know several people that are letting them sleep for the long nap, maybe, just maybe they will turn around, maybe, but I personally would not spend the money on them.:-|

I have an 04 box. I have smoked one not long ago, maybe a month or so, and it was amazing. I can't recall how these were when smoked young....but damn was the last one good. I say buy a box and try them. If you don't really like them, hide them in the back of your humi for a few years and you may be pleasantly surprised.
