UEB MAY 18. Dry boxed for almost a month and it’s smoking like most younger HUHC do, lots of espresso and dark chocolate flavors, occasional taste of sweetness in a cookie-like dough flavor.

QdO Panetelas from 2006. So sad these are discontinued.

Trinidad Robustos Extra OUS Sep 2009

I have been fortunate enough to share some exquisite cigars over the years with Trevor Leask, the founder of Cuban Cigar Website. Today's cigar, the discontinued Trinidad Robustos Extra (since 2012), was without doubt amongst those reputable cigars.

Now that I have smoked a few of these since calling them from long-term rest from my locker, I can assert that this cigar reminds me of what the Cohiba Siglo VI is to the Cohiba marca, a peak vitola amongst others within a premium marca.

Unlike my last Robustos Extra, this had no salt in it whatsoever. This was all butter and cream, smooth, mild and was possibly the most receptive cigar I've ever had to retrohaling, I barely registered a tingle through my nose until halfway through the final third. In contrast to recent Trinidad from 2016 onwards, which I've found more prevalent in coffee and dough flavours, the cedar, leather and grass/hay flavours accompanying the strong butter and cream flavours was very much in the background, but indicative of Trinidad blends from that era around the turn of the decade.

After smoking a few of these and the recent LCDH release, the La Trova, I do feel that the La Trova is similar release to the Robustos Extra, especially in its butter texture. As this cigar was a tad over ten years old upon smoking it, I'm now inclined to let a few of my La Trova sticks age to see how they develop. If they come close to replicating this Robustos Extra today, the patience required will be well worth it.

Interesting. I find trinidads the most intriguing of all CCs. I have fundadores from late 1990s that are great, yet I appreciate the 2015-2016 fundys just as much. Not such great experience with the coloniales. But for me the Vigias are incredible when they are good...probably my favorite vitola in this marca..  Even better than the Trovas, though my Trovas are all young, obviously. I never had the chance to try the robusto extra...I'm sure it is magnificent.

H. Upmann Noellas 2009 - La Casa del Habano Exclusivo circa 2010 (thanks @Trevor2118!)

Generously gifted by @Trevor2118 (thank you again!), the H.Upmann Noellas is a special release replicating the regular production cigar that came in a distinctive glass jar and discontinued in the 1980s. This cigar was from a run announced in 2009 and made available in 2010.

Contemporary criticism at the time found these to be quite intense in flavours and I admit that I've had a few younger that were more dominant in bitter espresso flavours. Retrospective reviews have been a little kinder to this cigar, as today's smoke was much milder and had much more pleasant H.Upmann shortbread and leather flavours.

Curious how it was? I have a box of ESO MAY 15 that I haven’t tried yet. Any idea what the box code on this one was?

After some pretty spicy stuffed Poblano peppers for dinner, a south of the border Edmundo Dantes Conde Belicoso paired with some Banhez Artesenal Joven Mezcal

A nice and smoky mix!

It's been a couple of days since I've had time for a stick.  Even tonight, I could only squeeze in a BPC.  The ULA 14 was a good choice.  At almost 5 1/2 years, flavors are still bold.  These things will have legs for some time to come.

It was either OBM AGO 15 or SEA SEP 16....those are the two I have open. I find both great.....excellent flavor, construction and consistency.
