Trinidad Reyes - Unknown (OYMRW)

[justince]

Purchased as a single, not sure on the box code/year. Had a little boat outing with some friends yesterday & I decided to take two smaller sticks to space out my smoke time rather than one larger on to have all at once. I actually prefer doing this when I can; it's nice to space out your smokes. I generally don't enjoy larger vitolas as much as others outside of rare occasion. I prefer to smoke for 30-45 minutes at a time. That's about the running time I got with this bad boy. Nothing like a warm, summer day on a boat with good company ( see some obligatory boat pics)

Anyway, picked this up as a single to see if it was something I'd like. Mild to medium bodied & very creamy smoke. The predominant flavor I'm getting is distinctly peanut -- a welcome surprise as this is not something I commonly taste. Finish is a long, earthy finish. Draw is slightly snug, but nothing I'd complain about.

I gotta say, I didn't LOVE it when you factor in the price. By no means a bad stick -- but if I wanted to spend a lot of money on a smaller stick, I'd probably take a Siglo I over this. Thoroughly enjoyed it though, but I don't see myself buying these in the future.

I love a Trini Reyes but it is not a boating cigar for me 

Trini Reyes is Sunday paper and a coffee.  Put it in that (type) environment and I think you will have a different beast. Give one more a crack!

Boating cigars. What is a boating cigar? Well, there is a hell of a lot going on vying for your attention (sailing, fishing, drinking, weather,). I need a robust cigar that holds it's own. 

Small:

• Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
• Bolivar corona Junior
• Partagas Short. 

Medium:

• Mag 46
• Partagas D4 
• Juan Lopez 2

Funny you mention some of these...partagas shorts I also brought with me and gave to a buddy. D4s and JL2's have been boat cigars for me this year alone as well (although not today)
