Trinidad Short Robustos T Edicion Limitada 2010 Cigar Review
- Brand: Trinidad
- Length: 102mm (4 inches)
- Ring Gauge: 50
- Score: 4/5
Origin and Format
The cigar is from Cuba and comes in a Short Robusto format. It's hand - made, and each costs around $15 or more.
Appearance
The Short Robusto T has a dark brown wrapper, typical of Trinidad. It has some imperfections like water spots and a trace of glue. The cigar is bumpy, but the pigtail and triple cap look great. Rating: 4/5.
Construction
The construction is good. The draw has the right amount of resistance, and it burns well even in windy conditions with only a couple of corrections needed. Rating: 4.5/5.
Flavor
- Pre - light: It has a sour smell at the head and a woody smell at the foot. The wrapper is spicy. Rating: 4/5.
- First third: The flavor is a combination of sweet coffee, wood, and pepper. Flavors change from puff to puff, with occasional toasted notes and fluctuating spiciness.
- Second third: Bitterness is added, and it starts to taste like dark chocolate.
- Last third: The sweetness and pepper disappear, leaving a heavy, mostly woody finish.
Value
Compared to the Trinidad Robusto T, this limited - edition is shorter and more expensive. While there are flavor similarities, the robusto is considered superior. Rating: 3/5.
Overall, although the Trinidad Short Robusto T LE 2010 is enjoyable, buying a box isn't whole - heartedly recommended. It's better to buy a few singles.
