The Dominican Trinidad was birthed out of an American market for one of Cuba's most sought after cigars. That detail alone can prompt a bit of skepticism but the Trinidad doesn't rest on its laurels.
The Trinidad Robusto maduro comes wrapped in a dark, almost burnt looking, woody Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. The contrasting golden band gives it an elegant appearance. The flavors are melded perfectly with a cedar core and notes of sweet fruits and a bit of spice. This complex mix of flavors was consistent throughout the smoke and was complimented by a rich woody aroma. The construction was nearly perfect with a nice firm draw and packed white ash. A couple of wobbles in the burn are to be expected with this guy but they'll self correct without affecting the flavor.
This is a very pleasant smoke with rounded complexity and a smooth cool burn. I was happy to see that this Trinidad was more than just a name on a stick. You won't be disappointed.
