  1. I love it when I have a cigar that qualifies for a review weekend! Let's proceed. Trinidad Reyes 4.3" (110mm) x 40 Preliminaries: What a nice looking cigar. Bought these a month or two during a 24: 24 sale. They're HQ grade. Beautiful, gold Colorado wrapper. Some vens, including a few Frankenstein stitches, but nothing major. I cut the cap, and the draw is snug. Cigar feels very solid and well-rolled in the hand. Light and initial thoughts: Takes to flame easily enough. The draw is snug, but I'm getting enough smoke. Right off the bat,the cigar is stronger in body and flavor than I thought they'd be when I bought them. There is some spice on the retrohale, but none on the tongue. Very smooth. El Pres frequently says these taste like cake in his descriptions, and I can kind of see it, though it is definitely more of a coffee cake than an iced birthday cake. The wrapper leaf feels rather thick, and I'm having a but of tunnelling on the burn, though the other sample I had from this box burned perfectly, so I suspect it's just not properly acclimatized yet. I'm getting a bit of leather and maybe some light coffee bean. A little nutty (cashew maybe?) as I move into the 2nd half. These are a but pricier than most Habanos in this size range. That said, I find it to be very well made, and it offers a smoking time more in line with marevas or robustos, and the presentation is classy with the SBN box and pigtails, so it's not a BAD value. I tend to like my cigars on the younger side, but I might bury these for a few years to see if I can get some added sweetness and depth to the flavors. As it is, this is a very nice cigar. My CA rating would be an 89 or so. Final smoke time 50 minutes exactly. Likely would have been longer if not for multiple touch ups to the burn.
