Popular Post JohnS Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Trinidad Robustos Extra OUS Sep 2009 This was the last cigar sampled from a 12-count box I've rested in my OLH for a number of years and after smoking it, I still wonder why this ever deleted. Better than the recent LCDH Trinidad La Trova? In a word...yes. This Robustos Extra had no significant dough flavours, but like my other Robusto Extras from this box it had cedar, grass or hay, leather and tea flavours aplenty and these flavours were both balanced and mild. Retrohaling was also very easy through the nose. The question of when cigars are at the peak comes up from time-to-time on our forum. This cigar today makes that question moot as I feel that I could have left this last cigar to age for another 5 to 10 years and this would still be great. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bijan Posted October 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2020 BRC And Super Partagas my favourite cheap and cheerful. First one from a REG MAR 19 box.

Popular Post JohnS Posted October 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2020 La Gloria Cubana Taínos LRE Dic 2009 Today's La Gloria Cubana Tainos was the last one from this 10-count box. I enjoyed it very much, every bit as much as the first one I had from the box after resting it long-term for years and 'cracking' it open a few years ago. In between, I also enjoyed sharing some with some dear friends who had the chance to savour a Churchill-sized cigar that wasn't a Cohiba Esplendidos, H.Upmann Sir Winston, Romeo y Julieta Churchill or El Rey del Mundo Tainos Asia Pacific Regional Edition release. This cigar, at just over ten years of age, again smoked wonderfully well. The ash-length was consistent, as were the rings (or ridges in the ash). In terms of flavour, this had a distinctive fruitcake flavour with some nut, floral notes, leather, pepper and some lemon citrus. After two hours it was gone but I was immensely satisfied. After all, where else can you lay claim to quality fruitcake in a cigar this size? 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
